Wow, life is quite a bit different since our last Quarterly Top 5 in June. The two biggest changes: Ashley is now a mom and I am now a mom of two. Those are the biggest reasons we don't have a give away for you this quarter, but we hope you'll still link up as we love to see your families and the fun you have been having.
Here's how it works:
- Linky begins Wednesday, September 26th -Tuesday, October 2nd
- Go through your photos from July, August and September 2012
- Choose 5 and post them on your blog or Flickr account beginning September 26th
- PLEASE only use photos that include your CHILDREN and/or PETS
- Accompany each photo with a short explanation of why you chose it
- Link up here at Click.Pray.Love., Sarah Halstead Photography, or Ramblings and Photos
- Be sure to include the Quarterly Top 5 banner or button in your post.
Before I share my top 5 I want to encourage each of you to not only watermark the photos you share, but to place the water mark close to your child's face. There have been some crazy people snatching photos, cropping out the watermarks, and calling the photo and/or children their own. If you don't know how to water mark check out Ashley's tutorial: Watermarking.
I took a lot and I mean A LOT less photos this quarter. Of the photos I took the majority of them were with a point and shoot or on auto, because my DSLR was having some issues. Thankfully, they have been resolved and I have a new zoom lens to replace the one I broke :) With that said here are my favorites from this quarter in no particular order.
1. I took this photo of my son one Sunday after church. I realized I had not taken any photos of him, as photography has taken a backseat to life these past few months. However, I was able to capture a few this day that really show how much he has grown. He looks more and more like a little boy every day. I adore his budding personality.
2. We spent the week of July 4th visiting my family in Nashville. This was taken on the 4th. The kids were having a blast on the slip 'n slide thanks to my dad and Sam's extra push.
3. My husband took this shot, but it is still one of my favorites from this quarter. It was taken a few seconds after my daughter was born.
4. This is one of the newborn photos I took of my baby girl when she was 6 days old. You can see a few more in this post: Newborn Z
5. I've made one attempt to capture my 2 year old with my newborn and I was a little disappointed with the results. I do like how B is looking at Z in this photo. Now, I just wish I had nailed the skin tones. Oh well, maybe one day.
And because not everyone is on Instagram I am adding my favorite IG photo from this quarter. I took this while laying in the bed just moments after giving birth--a father and his daughter. So sweet!!!
