You Are My Sunshine Collection

Sister Lois and her grandchildren

Sister Lois is a lady at my church that means so much to me. She has been there for me anytime I needed her. She is the one that God gave the dream to and showed her me holding a baby girl in the hospital. I had 2 pregnancy that didn't work out. I was devastated because I wanted a baby girl. She was there for me and really got me through. God gave her the dream about me having a baby girl. Within a few years I had my youngest child. A beautiful baby girl! Right now one of my sons is going into 1st grade and was very upset because he could not read. Sister Lois is taking the time to teach him. (she is great at this).It is really helping my child. THANK YOU!

Sister Lois loves her babies and we did these pictures so she would have some of her with them. I am so happy to be able to do something for her. You know it one thing in life to want to help someone and another to do it. Lois is a do it person. You can always depend on Lois to come through. Thank you Lois for always giving so much of your self for others. For all the talks and time you take out to help. For the many, many meals you have made for everyone. We are all so grateful. These pictures are my gift to you. All my love ,
Donna

First set of images with my new light and softbox

Well, I got in my light and softbox. I am going to learn off this one light set up. My wonderful husband put it all together for me. We took out the flash meter that I have never used and brad put his mind to work. We figured out how to take the reading and had a simple backdrop ready. My kids came running with their special clothes they wanted to wear. So here is my first studio light practice pictures . I have so much to learn! lol Anyway, this was special because my two youngest wanted to wear their dress up clothes. It was the sweetest thing when Ethan came out with the jacket and dress shirt he picked. It was 10:00pm and they were looking tired and did not have their hair comb . It is funny to me how my favorite pictures of my kids are the ones I put the least amount of effort in dressing them. The meter read F11 and we put the shutter on 60. The ISO was on 160 and I tired 200 as well. I have been reading on one light set up and it appear there are 3 different ways (terms) to use. I only tried one tonight. I won't be able to do this in my living room because of the color paint have it to dark. I can see it in my images. Anyway, what do you all think? I am sure there are things I did wrong but I am surely please with the fact that we got a reading and ended up with pictures. lol I think I am hooked. I can't wait to get creative. I loved it and I truly want to learn it. I guess it is time to call my instructor from Sowela for some tips. I can tell I am going to love this once I get the knowledge and practice I need. I think Maddie looks like a little angle in the first one. If you click to enlarge it you can see how pretty her eyelashes look. God has blessed me with precious kids!
