Thanks, Casey! You are so encouraging. It’s good to know that I’m not the only sweaty beast on the planet when learning new things either. The advice on the flash I will def have to keep in mind because I just really struggle with it. So much I can learn from you, woman…you are so talented! Love you, too!

I use Adobe Bridge, which I hear is similar to LightRoom. What do you use? I’m still learning how to edit as well. There is so much to learn with photography! And, yes, we do enjoy the same hobbies. We should have hung out more before we moved to NC.

you did great!!! seriously. I think those tips are great, keep those coming. Those are helpful for all of us to keep remembering as well. And I remember for like the first 2-3 years of hairdressing I would sweat like a beast every time I’d get a new client or a new haircut that I wasn’t familiar with. Even if on the outside I felt calm… here would come the sweat! So frustrating.

But you’re doing great. I can’t wait to see this first year of her life unfold.

As far as flash goes… I just make sure it’s always pointing behind me, or a side wall, or a big light colored area. with colored walls.. you’ll just have to edit more creatively. Think Light box… what are you going to use to create your light box? sky? window? flash on wall? then think direction. and then experiment like crazy!!

Thanks for sharing.

Love ya!!

Sweet pictures Veronique! Just curious what program you like to use for post processing? Seems like we enjoy the same hobbies…simple sewing, learning as much as we can about photography. )

Hey babe!

Well, despite your stress & concerns, I think you really have a gift. It will be fun to see you chronicle out Elena’s chubby little life.
