cousins, cousins everywhere!

I figured out how to download my pictures with the file name the way I wanted. Since I am not very good in Photoshop yet (give me time) I just did a few adjustments in HP software.
We took a picture with five of these six kids last year. Mackenzie (top right) wasn't here the first time, so we took a few while she was visiting. Renee had her camera, Rochelle had her camera and I was using mine. We got a few pretty good pictures. Here is one of them. It may be to contrasting for the black and white. I made it more muted, antique color, and regular color, but only posted the b&w.
I love this picture. I made this picture look many different ways also, but keeping with the b&w, put this one on.

Three pf the four girls (Cait wasn't into pictures by that point). This picture is virtually untouched. I put it into b&w, but this was the cropping and everything. Man, this family makes some cute kids!
Here's one of all four girls.
I got my camera out to mess around with some indoor photos. Here are a few.

not staged. I just caught her with her head tilted and looking all angelic!

This one is pretty cute in color, but Madison has a big orange stripe down her chin from her Popsicle and I didn't see it before the pictures.

They are such good friends and it shows huh!

That is more like it!

You know the song True Colors by Cyndi Lauper? That song comes to my mind when I see this.
I guess I have played enough. Back to work! Finish what I start. (I can already see what is going to happen. I am going to want to stick to this motto and therefore, I won't be starting anything new so I don't have to finish it! Next year's motto will probably have to go something like, "get of the couch you lazy bum and do something" oh well!)

Great photos! The top one of all the cousins looks completely professional! I like the contrast on it and wouldn't change it a bit!

Wow! I can't believe how good of photos you take! It must be a combo. of the photographer and the camera. I keep showing (as in even seconds ago) Andrew all your pictures to show him that we NEED a new one. Obviously, he still hasn't given in and I'll let you know when he does. Stand by....it might be YEARS at the speed we're going here!

Oh, what great pictures! I love the "big sister, little sister" shots. And you are so right: the song True Colors is a perfect fit.
