Sesame Street Birthday

 

 A while back I posted on my Sorority's Alumni Facebook page.  I told them I am trying to get into photography and I want to practice so if anyone would be interested in getting their picture taken, I'm their person.  I have gotten a few people interested and I took one set of pictures about two weeks ago, and I went to a birthday party this weekend.  It was a party for a 2 year old to include fabulous games and decor in the theme of Sesame Street.  My son will be two on March 1st, so it was so awesome to see all the little two year olds running around.  Alisha did a wonderful job decorating, getting many of her ideas from Pinterest, and because she loves to scrapbook, she all the tools to decorate the game stations with different characters from the show.  The party ended in an Elmo Dance/Sing off party with inflatable microphones and guitars.  It was so fun watching the kids sing and dance. Alisha, it was wonderful meeting you and your little one.  You really know how to throw a party.  Enjoy some pictures from the party!

Alisha and her husband got into the spirit too!!!  She even had a cute little hair bow with Cookie Monster on it.

Inflatable microphones and guitars

How cute are these signs she made??!

Tullys Tattoo Parlor where the kids could get Sesame Street Tattoos

Here are a few of the tattoos the children could choose from

How awesome are these decorations?!?!

One of my favorites.  There is something out feet and shoes that I love and I love that little David was decked out Sesame Street from head to toe.

Last but not least, my favorite image of the birthday party.  It shows so much love that they have for one another.

365- 32, 33, 34, 35

Day 32:  This picture is taken with my IPhone at Kristin's house, or Kisin's house as Ashton would say it. Toys are always more fun when they are somewhere else. 

  Day33:  This picture is of Claire. She has many faces... I can't get over how much she looks like my mom.  I'll have to post a picture of her one of these days of when she was a baby and compare the two.  Picture stats 1/125, ISO 800 F 3.2 and external flash.

Same stats as the previous picture. They were taken on the same day.  I just thought it was cute.

Day 34:  This picture was taken with my Iphone. I generally  have my phone handy but don't always have my camera handy.  And pictures like these are so spontaneous that by the time I would have gotten my camera and hooked everything on it to take the picture, the moment would have been gone.

 

Day 35:  This picture was taken from a birthday party that I photographed.  I have been getting a few opprtunities to practice my photography through my Sorority's Alumni page.  I am meeting my Sorority sisters and enjoying every minute of it.  Stats of this picture are 1/150, ISO 800, F. 4.0.  

Blogging

So I am new to this whole blogging thing, only blogging for a month.  I am attempting to make a more manageable blog because I want to post things such as recipes, photographs, running and things that are just random that involve my thoughts and my family.  I want to have a navigation bar so that it makes it easier to just click on what you want.  I don't know how to do all of that, but I am learning as I go (so if anyone reading this knows how to do that, please let me know). Hopefully soon I will have all of these things on the blog. I also decided when I post my pictures for my project 365, I am going to just post the stats and a little brief description of the picture. When I want to write more than that I am going to make it a different post and post more pictures about the story.  I love blogging and I love posting pictures, I just want to write more about random thoughts and other things.  I feel like when I post a picture of something for my project, I am writing not just about the pictures, I am writing about running, my life etc. and it doesn't necessarily mix.

I also decided that I am not going to try to stress myself out about posting a picture everyday, but I will take pictures every day and post them as I edit them and make a post about a week or so worth of pictures. I think this will cut down on the randomness throughout the blog. 

I know I used random a lot in this post, but that is how I felt my blogging was going.  So another goal for the month of February is to make my blog posts lets random and more centralized to a certain subject.

That being said, stay tuned for some awesome 365 pictures coming as well as a post on a Birthday Party I am photographing today!
