Baby Ashlyn Photo Shoot

We had a photo shoot for baby Ashlyn at my mom's house.  She had collected all sorts of items to create adorable photos.  These are a few of my favorites.  Ashlyn was just a week old.

08.28.10 When Birds Attack

Ok, they really didn't attack me, but we ended our late night at the Zoo in the Aviary in the children's zoo.  Neither of us had ever been in here and it was great.  They have about 60-70 birds, 24 species and they fly and land everywhere.  As soon as we entered one whooshed over to me and landed on my camera bag.  He proceeded to nibble at my bag for about 5 minutes.  It startled me at first, but I was ok.  Later one landed on my head and proceeded to peck at my headband....nice.  Juan managed to capture my startled look.

08.28.10 Evening with the Animals - Photo Trip

Tonight was a "members only" event at the Dallas Zoo.  Since we are members and Vanessa and her family are members, we all decided to go.  Mom came along as Vanessa's guest.  We got to see the animals in the evening as the zoo keepers were feeding them.  It was also a lot cooler!  Juan and I are still on our hunt for that perfect shot for their photo contest.  What do you think?

Juan and I went on a photography excursion this evening at White Rock Lake to take some sunset photos.  Here are a few of my favs.

08.21.10 Dallas Zoo Excursion

Juan and I headed to the Zoo today to practice our photography and try to find that perfect shot for the photography competition. We chose the hottest three hours of the day and I think we both ended up with heat stroke. Here are my favs, although I don't think any are contenders for the contest.

Photography Club Outing #2 - Waxahachie

Today Miriam, Juan and I went to Waxahachie for our second installment of our photography club. Waxahachie has an awesome scrapbook store that Miriam wanted to check out. We ate lunch at the 1879 Chisholm Grill Restaurant, a great little home cooking place on the square. While Miriam and I were in the scrapbook store, Juan toured around the square taking photos. Miriam and I joined up with him after our shopping jont and we laughed as we took headshots of each other.  Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day:
