The girls

I'm off theme I know. But this weekend is a long awaited, much needed break for all of us. School is hard for K., the time away from family is tough on S., and the last two weeks have been extraordinarily intense and emotionally draining for me. So today was about savoring a "family day." we sat, we played, we relaxed, we talked, we ate and we just were. It was amazing. And can I just say, pure momma googles and all, my girls are amazing, talented and beautiful ; 0 )

Here's K: 1/125, 3.2, 800 ISO (manual)
Flash fired, bounced off the mirror behind me. 5D, 100mm lens. CWB on all pics, as well as custom curves in ACR. On both K. pictures. Light screen layer, in addition to defog and conversion. Oh yeah, ran a light dodge on the eyes in all of these.

Here's S: 1/100, 3.2, 800 ISO (manual, I think- might be AV). Bounced flash off ceiling (you can see it in her eye!). PLayed with this in ACR and had to run light screen layer in this one as well. Not sure what I did, can't seem to get my Browser to cooperate with me at the moment.

I couldn't resist making this one black and white. Seriously, my kids are beautiful! Feel free to disagree, just not on my blog ;)
TFL. I shoot for being on theme tomorrow!
