I've always wanted to learn how to take pictures...good pictures. I LOVE looking at pictures and seeing the different edits that can improve the shot. A couple of months ago I even downloaded a editing program and have spent many hours editing old pictures I already had. Harrison knows this and for awhile we played with the idea of getting a nice DSLR camera for Christmas, but a few months ago i let go of that idea knowing how expensive they were, and how we didn't really need it. But earlier this week Harrison (being the Mr. Wonderful that he is) found a good used camera on KSL.com for a really good deal. Needless to say, Santa came a little early this year :)

Okay, now i have 6 weeks until this baby comes, so I have 6 weeks to practice so I can make those "only cute to the parents" pictures adorable for all of you!! I'm so excited to learn more about photography. When Harrison is in the Middle East this summer I'm planning on taking a photography class to help me improve and to keep my busy while he's away :)

Here's our new addition:

Isn't she pretty??

Oh..I mean, yes SHE is beautiful. From the time I read the blog to posted a comment I'd already forgotten whether you said it was a girl or boy. I'm a moron.

Hey Christine! What a great idea to learn photography! Perfect timing. BTW, I like your halloween costumes. I thought about being juno the day AFTER haloween. lol

I'm so jealous. I'm hoping my santa brings me something good too. I was looking at that one or the Nikon D40...but not cause I'm good at taking pictures, but because I love to take a million of the kids and my camera is too slow and I don't get a good one! Can't wait to see your baby!!!
