You Capture - Get Down Low

Sadly, Jon's grandma passed last week, 2 short days after the proposal. It was (and still is) a sad time, but we all know that she is watching over us now.

As unfortunate as it was, it brought family together. Jon's brother and SIL (Melissa of The Zookeeper's Diary) and their 3 midgets came up for the weekend, and we all got to spend quality time together.

Wouldn't it just be my luck that my camera would crap out on their first day here?! I was only able to capture a few quick shots with my point and shoot, and then I had to sneakily steal borrow my dad's Nikon for the rest of the weekend.

One of the shots I did get was this one, laying on the floor with Jack as he played with his new fire truck. I really love this photo. He is so enthralled with the truck, and he was inspecting every little detail. The curve of his arm is so graceful.

Other edits:

The first edit was done using the Soulful Sweetness set (Honey action) from Isabelle Lafrance, and then adjusted to taste. I simply love all of her action sets, even though I didn't read the directions and I installed them wrong the first time around. Oh well. You live and you learn. And now I know how to do it. So I won't even tell you about the other edits.




And on a side note, the fact that my camera is broken means that I won't have any NEW shots to show off for a long while (unless I borrow the Nikon from time to time). Everyone will just have to deal with archived photos and my endless chatter about wedding prep.
