My Sister!
 

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been on in a while. I'll try to catch up soon! I just wanted to pop in and share these pics with you. It was a beautiful day today and Bren and I picked Crissy up from her after school program. I had the camera with me and just couldn't resist snapping a few shots. What do you think? I just can't get over how cute, adorable, and grown-up she looks.

1. This was a test shot that was overexposed. I thought it was too cute to toss so I converted it to black and white and played with the histogram until it looked alright. I actually really like the result!

2. Wish I'd taken this one from a higher angle. I was concentrating so hard on getting the blue sky behind her head rather than the dark green mountains that I got too low and you can't see her face very well because of her arm. Oops...

3. Just having fun. Not my favorite for composition, but she's just so darn cute that I had to share!

4. Doesn't she look tough!? LOL

1. All attitude! :)

2. I wish I had moved this pic slightly to the right so that I didn't cut off her hand and also so she'd be off-centered just a bit. I'll do better next time! I really like the colors though...

A few of them in b&w

Wow, great job, Angie. Well taken pics of a beautiful young lady on a beautiful day. Doesn't get much better than that!!!!!

Angie, your sister is really beautiful. I don't think I care for the arms being crossed, but the others are great. She is like a delicate flower in the pictures, so, so pretty.

Great shots Angie! I love #3 of the first set - it's very natural and the lines of her arms and legs are great. She also looks like you in that shot.

She is so beautiful. How old is she now?

This new camera is something! I can't get over the clarity of the photos.

Great pictures, Angie!!! Your sister is certainly a very pretty little girl!!! I really liked the last color picture where you cut her hand off. You're getting better and better with your picture taking!!!

Angie great shots! Your sister is so pretty. Btw how is your family doing? since the death of your uncle. Say hello to mom for me...

My little girl looks way too grown-up!!!!!!

Glad you guys liked them! I'm going to try again asap and fix the things I did wrong the first time... ;)

She always has *grabs her bat to fight the boys off*

Janet, those are my least favorite as well. My new goal is to learn to pose. I'm horrible at it, but I'm reading up and hopefully (if the weather is nice this week) I'll get to practice some.

She's 10 now. I can't believe how fast she's growing up.
