Thanks so much for spending the afternoon with Andrew and me. Being a photographer's son, Andrew is at home in front of the camera. You came up some great shots! Wow, I didn't know my kids would actually photograph in color. I haven't taken a color photo of them in at least five years. I'm anxious to see more and some of Gaby.
Thanks again for hanging with us.
Rebecca

Rebecca Tyler - SWEET new banner. Love all the pics in there. I know what 'ya mean about the photo bribes. hehe. I have to sneek the camera around my son most of the time...having him actually look at it costs me too. lol.

Angela - Thanks Tiffany! I figured it was time to update my banner! This one is my favorite of all the banners I've had! Maybe that's because I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new photos of my kiddos! I took them out on a whim the other night for a mini session! They had a blast! It's THEIR best session yet!! lol! I had to bribe them with a treat from McDonalds to get these shots of them together. haha! It was soooooo worth it though!

I got the plate from Ikea.

Thanks for visiting! I always love reading your comments! ;)

Tiffany - I love your Banner!!!! I so need to make one.
I love all the pictures, Angela. Where did you bought that plate? Hope you don't mind me asking. =)

Jenna, thank you for the sweet comments!

aboutimage - Oh, what a cutie! You captured him so well. I just love your work!

Tonya Boles - Thanks.

Angela - Thank you Tonya. I got it from Ikea. I had to get someone from half way across the country to ship one to me, because there is not an Ikea store within hundreds of miles from me!

Tonya Boles - Adorable.. Can you please tell me where I can find that plate?

Angela - Thank you ladies so much! Your comments mean so much to me!

Angela - Kim thank you! I can't wait to see your results with the shot!

Rebecca - Hi Angela
I can get to your blog, but not your web site. Go figure. I love this image! I love the ladybugs!! Can't wait to meet your special one. Who knows your next post could include a ghost. Keep up the good work!

Kim McCloud - Thanks for sharing, Angela! I'm going to try something similar. Hope you don't mind.:) I really find your work inspiring. You are a talented photographer. Have a great weekend.

Angela - Thank you Kim. Sure, I can explain how I did it.

You have to lay on the ground and shoot up at the swinging baby to accomplish this shot. You meter for the sky to turn the baby into a silohette. The sun flare is there because my camera was pointing directly at the sun. It is best to attempt this kind of shot in late afternoon. Hope that helps!

Kim McCloud - I'm so in love with this shot. I had to come back and ask how you did it? Do you mind to share how you acheived this? Hope you don't mind me asking...I just can't get it out of my head.:)

Angela - Tiffany and Kim thank you so much for the wonderful comments! Yes, this photograph is VERY special to me! My son loves it too! I am actually going to have this made into a 16x20 canvas for his bedroom!!! He loves looking at this photograph so much, so I thought it would be nice for him to have his very own canvas of it!

Kim McCloud - This is breath-taking, Angela...what a precious keepsake of your son's childhood. I'm sure it will be more and more precious as the years go by. Love it!

Photographs By Tiffany - Wow!! This is really an amazing photograph!! I LOVE IT!!

Angela - Aw, thank you Missy!

Missy - OMG!! that is an amazingggggggggg shot! its perfect in every single way..makes me want to stare at it over and over...

Angela - thank you Jenna!

aboutimage - WOW!!! That is beautiful shot!

Good luck with surgery. I hope all goes well for everyone

eLiZaBeTh - Oh My gosh.. this is amazing. what a brilliant shot from the angle to the colors to the sunflare and silhouette... simply brilliant

Angela - Thank you Rebekah for the wonderful comment and prayers!

Rebekah - Wow Angela, this is amazing! This is one of those photos that you can't resist looking at for a long time... amazing. I love the sun flare.

I'm praying for your son, and will continue especially as the surgery approaches. God bless...

Rebekah

Angela - Sherry thank you for the thoughts and prayers. And thanks for always visiting my blog!

Genesis, thanks so much!

Ellen, thanks you for the wonderful comment!

I want to thank everyone for al the thoughts and prayers. You guys have no idea how much they mean to me right now! We are going through a difficult time right now concerning Jon (other than the ear tubes). And it helps knowing there are so many wonderful people out there praying for us! Please continue to pray for us. We have a very VERY important doctor visit coming up in August that I am terrified beyond belief to actually take him to. I'm worried to what I might actually find out. But more on that later.

Ellen - Angela, this is such a beautiful (beautiful!) capture! I love it. I gasped when I saw it and am still looking at it. It's perfect. Thank you for sharing it!

I'm so glad you got everything worked out with the insurance, that must be a relief. I was away and didn't know what was going on, but you were in my thoughts anyway since I wondered what you were up to!

Genesis Photography - OMGosh! what a beautiful capture!!! Love it!

Sherry B - I'm speechless...

Best wishes with your son. Keep me updated...I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts/prayers!

Angela - Oh, Angie, (((hugs))), I'm so sorry. I'm glad that my photo could help ease your pain. You are absolutely correct, there is a higher place, where all is well! Where there is no pain or suffering or tears of sadness! Prayers being sent you way! (((hugs)))

Angie Penrose - Angela-I love this photo!! I had a family member pass away today and that picture just looks so peaceful to me and was a reminder that there is a higher place and that my cousin will be ok. Thanks for sharing your talents. Such a great shot!

Angela - Corey, thank you for visiting and commenting! I hope to see you around more often!

Rebecca, thank you for the wonderful comment!

Rebecca Tyler - Wow girl! Absolutely stunning, amazing, breath-taking, beautiful capture here! Just seriously...WOW! :o)

Angela - Thanks Tiffany! I'm amazed with your backlighting! You do it so well! Thanks for the well wishes!

Jinksee, thank you so much! Your comments always make me smile!

Jinksee - Oh mercy!! There aren't even words for me to describe this! I'm drawn to it...and he's not even my son, and that's not even my sky! But it's such a beautiful photo. Such a great shot..way to go girl!! :D

Tiffany - Hope everything will be well with the surgery. You take care, stay calm okay, everything is going to be okay.

Tiffany - I know you posted something coz you found time to visit my humble abode. I love this!!!!! my gosh, angela, I am so going to step up this year with my photography with you posting images like this, its so inspiring.

You know I am in love with Backlight, so don't ask what my comment is on this one bec. you know what it will be.

Gorgeous.

BTW, love the song on this post. ;)

Angela - Thank you Sue, it means so much to me to have so many friends who offer support and pray for us!

Thanks Jen. yeah I FINALLY got around to trying it out! I'm in love with the results!

Jennifer - Aww, you finally did it! It looks great! I love the sunflare!

Sue - Great new about the op! Fingers are crossed that everything will go ok!
But look at that pic - the clouds, the lensflare and your little one's silouette - I stare at it too! It's beautiful.

Angela - Thank you! It was getting ready to rain as the sun was setting. The clouds were so beautiful!

The view from my heart - WOW! Look at the sky! Very very beautiful capture, Angela!
