The Photo Shoot
We bought a new camera to take really good pictures of Colton and our life moving forward. I had asked our friend who has the blog "McSpins" what camera she has because her pictures always look amazing. Go check out the blog on the side of this page and you will agree that her pictures are incredible. When Brian and I went to the camera shop, the professional behind the counter talked us out of the one our friend has for a more manageable one. He said we would get a similar quality with the convenience of a smaller camera. I thought our new Panasonic point and shoot digital camera was going to be the panacea to all bad pictures we take. But much to our dismay, it was evident that it really isn't the camera that does the trick, it is the person behind the camera, the one with the vision. Brian and I conducted a mini photo shoot for Colton to try our skill at some photography - and we quickly realized we had no idea what we were doing. But with a boy this cute - you can't go wrong. Here are a few of my favorites.
