Christmas recap

One of my favorite gifts - new camera!
I got a Canon G12 from my Aunts and I love it.


The pictures are pretty awesome. I wanted a "nice" camera that isn't enormous and it definitely fit the bill. Of course the first thing I thought was how much it sucks that now I have this nice camera and no dog to take pictures of... :(

I haven't taken a photography class since my sophomore year of high school, so I have some brushing up to do before I can take anything decent that's not in automatic! My photog friend who took my Christmas card pics said

But I got some good shots of Elle's sister, Satin...



She looks so regal! I love how even though they're the same breed and from the same parents, Elle and Satin always looked so different.

Then I went to visit my old neighbors and to check out their Christmas loot...
This is my absolute favorite picture of Daniel, who turns 6 in a few weeks.

He got this weird bike thing from Santa, which is actually pretty cool.
And no, he isn't mad, just WILD. Absolutely cracks me up. 



Anyone have any good websites/camera tips for me?

  4. Very cool! We got a small camera for Christmas too! I need to learn how to use it before we head down to NOLA for the BCS Championship game! Ahhh! That's our whole point in getting in! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
