I just came across the Rule of Thirds … without knowing such a thing officially existed! I feel like I have always sort of tried to use this rule, without even knowing it really was a rule. Haha!
I wanted to share this link with everyone … it is so helpful! I just assessed the shots...

Rule of Thirds
Jaxson
I spotted this fab sight the other day and was dying to take some pictures there … isn’t this brown wall great? Oh … and we can’t forget my adorable subject … my nephew, Jaxson. Here are a couple of my favorite shots from our shoot there! More later …

Focus
I have a headache.
I have been reading more on the ILP forum and reviewing the JSO {just starting out} tutorials. It makes my head hurt, but I can’t stop either.
As I read through the tutorial on Focus, Matthew L. Keys from MLKstudios suggested the below assignment. In case you are wondering why we should care...
Fave Shot of the Moment
I’m feeling conflicted.
I’m feeling conflicted because I don’t know what pictures to post where. Family blog. Photography blog.
So I decided that to make myself happy, I could – would – should post my most favorite shots here, when I feel otherwise inclined to put them on our family blog.
