So we started "solids" a few months ago with Lillian but in baby land that really means watery purees.

I recently took a photography class with the very talented Erin Rachel Wilson. Erin took Lillian's 3 month photos which I loved and is an absolute sweetheart. I received a Canon 60D camera for Christmas before Lillian arrived and promised myself I would learn to use it before she arrived. 7 months later I hadn't gotten past pg 6 in the manual and was having to use it on the automatic settings. So when Erin offered the.ONE DAY.workshop I knew I had to sign up. The class focused on the basics of shooting in manual. It was a great lesson in how aperture, shutter speed and ISO work together to create the perfect picture. Once we had all gotten a handle on how those three things interact, we started working on photo composition.  The workshop was concluded with a photo session with two models. It was a great time to test out our new knowledge and have Erin there to ask questions.

I'm very proud to say, I have only shot in manual since! I still don't have photo editing software so here are some raw images from the day:

Last night I felt Lillian's first tooth!!! Her front left tooth came in! Eeek. She's getting so big!
