Photos

I have a Nikon D60 SLR camera, that I got about a year and 1/2 ago. I love this camera, but have never had the time to sit down and actually play with it or learn how to use it. I tried to read the manual once, but that didn't work out too well. With a busy toddler and new baby, I think I got through 1 or 2 pages and just couldn't focus. I don't even recall what I read or even if it was relevent to what I was trying to learn.
We have been using the same photographer's since our engagement photos, so for over 5 years now. They are Aaron and Meg Nelson with Evantide photography and we absolutly love them. But not only can I afford to have them with me every waking moment to capture all the adorable, crazy, funny moments in the kids life, I don't think they would agree to that. So when I told them I had no idea to how to use my camera and that I shoot on Auto all the time, they said they have been planning to put together a workshop for mama's with DSLR cameras. And as you can imagine I was totally stoked, and I attended their workshop this last weekend. It was great and I learned a lot (even though I was like 45 min late...OY!) and was so excited to get home and utilize what I learned before I forgot it all in the craziness of watching Princess and the Frog a milion times, while my almost 9 month old crawled on me begging to be nursed (and yeah, almost 9 months...where did the time go?)and cuddled. Here are some of the photos I took of Ezra up at the park on saturday afternoon while Aaron and Fin played "Baskkee" Ball.
