So he doesn't like...

The beach!! Today we went to the beach but Jaemen was NOT having it AT ALL!!! He didnt even want me to stand with him in my arm in the water. He also didn't like the sand. Yes he is a wimp but he will get used to it!! He ended up playing in the sand only if he could sit on a towel though. Wow never really expected this from the boy that plays all day in the bath tub. So we will keep going back and sooner or later he will get better. I hope...

Yes... I am having extreme troubles taking pictures of JJ outside. You have to be quick on your toes and I am trying to stay in Manual mode the whole time but it just seems like he is always soo dark in all of the pictures. Or I get a good picture of him and then blow out the background. What to do?? I dont know!! I will be researching some photography websites and figuring out my problem though!! Maybe Fill Flash?? Why am I still talking though the only one that probably knows what I am talking about is Meagen so I will just call her later.. So Meagen expect a call!! haah

Love you all

Miss Fuhr....

I had a newborn shoot yesterday that I have been waiting for since I found out my girlfriend was having a little girl. Expect to see a lot more of this little one to come.. I have visions of cute little of these , this, and this... But here she is at 10 days old...

Look who's 18 months

Yes my little boy is one and a half years old... and the neighbor across from us had this cute little house and slide so I decided to get it for him. I have been looking for more things outside and I think this completes his little collection of toys but this boy LOVES to be outside. Dont you just love that laugh below in the second picture he is such a nut. At this point I wish I would have had my new lens on so I could have gotten closer but I guess we will just crop.

Just a few facts about Jaemen at 18 months....

1. He is in 2T shirts and 18 month shorts and 2T pants with a belt to hold them up

2. He has All of his teeth and I am sure actually he has had most of them since he has been 14 months

3. He is the best cuddler when he wants to be but will tell you "NO" in a hot second and doesnt know how to say yes!

As you can see the pictures are getting better outside but they are still a little dark sooc (straight out of camera) so I am still trying to work on that but I have a newborn shoot coming up and I cant wait!!

Project 365 Marches on...

May 17, 2009

My mom, Jaemen, and I took a trip for the first time down to Canton, Mich to visit the IKEA store!! It was everything I thought it was going to be!! I LOVED IT!! I was on my way for two tables for my scraproom that is currently being revamped even though it was never really "vamped"

May 18, 2009

My Camera is BACK!! All nice and cleaned and FIXED!! Oh I also had to give JJ a hug because it wasn't his fault.. I guess they are having a lot of problems with the AF censors!!

May 19, 2009

When we went to IKEA I picked up these rods that are normally used for hanging kitchen ultencils but I am using it for my own "Clip up"!! Now I can see everything that I have!! I have two of them right beside each other, one will hold all my stickers and rubons and the other will have all bigger embellies and clear stamps...

May 20, 2009
Went over to Grandpa and Grandma Chapman's last night... Great day just to sit out and play with the camera! Not a very good shot but this is JJ showing me that he has something on his hands with he hates!!

Lastly, I have done two more layouts for JJ's Baby Book almost done and I should finish it up tonight when JJ goes to bed!!! Here you go!!

So fast..

My little man is growing up so fast in 10 days he will be 18months old. I got a new lens from Maryanne for my Graduation!! I LOVE IT!! I am still getting used to the lighting outside with all the shadows so work with me!! But anyways..

At 18 Months Jaemen has...

1. conquered running including running away from me.

2. he says... Ball (all the time), Momma, Da Da, and Wa Wa

3. He waves bye to everyone

4. Knows where his belly, nose, eyes, ears, and mouth

5. He knows where his clothes are suppose to go including socks and shoes.

6. Infatuated with Keys and putting them in holes... We cant get out of the car without the keys coming out of the ignition and him having them.

7. Is one of the sweetest kids you will meet... WHEN HE WANTS TO BE!!

Update of Project 365 will be tomorrow hopefully!!
