Theodore’s First Two Weeks

September 14, 2015 by Aliesha

Here are some of the sweet memories we enjoyed of Theodore’s first two weeks (he’ll be three weeks tomorrow!).  Lots of pictures… enjoy!

Day 1

The kids came to visit us in the hospital, and it was precious seeing how excited they were to meet their new brother!

Later that evening two of my friends came to see us!  Whitney brought her four-week-old Molly Kate, who was mesmerized by the fluorescent lights!

Happy birthday, sweet Vera!  We can hardly believe you’re already five years old!

You are growing into such a delightful young lady who is helpful, kind, a good listener, and SO smart!

You are learning to be such a wonderful helper to us and we love seeing how you care for Cordelia and Jude. You are a wonderful big sister!

Vera, you are sweet and loving towards us and we’re thankful for all of the hugs and kisses you give us!

It is so much fun to tease you and make you laugh!  We like being silly with you!

You bring so much joy into our lives and we are so glad you were born!

Become a Better Photographer

June 24, 2015 by Aliesha

This sale is now over!

UDPB-Logo-VF-Color

I often have friends and family members tell me all the time, “Your camera takes such good pictures!”  Yes, this is true, but I know for a fact that their camera could too if they learned how to use it well!  I have lots of friends who own DSLR cameras yet have just scratched the surface in their ability to use it to take awesome photos.

Perhaps this is you too!  You have a good camera, you have lovely subject matter you wish to capture, yet you constantly find yourself disappointed with the images you capture.  Blurry, washed out, too dark, etc.

If you can relate, I have good news for you! My friends Ryan and Steph at Ultimate Bundles have put together an incredible product to help with your photography woes. It’s called The Ultimate Digital Photography Bundle (Beginner’s Edition), and it contains a curated collection of ebooks and video training guides to help you become a better photographer.

All the resources have been provided by professional, world-renowned photographers who are experts in teaching others – even complete beginners. You won’t need to switch up to a more expensive camera to make full use of the bundle (even if you just use your iPhone for photographs), and you don’t need to neglect your family for weeks upon weeks of training! You can learn everything in little chunks – whenever you have a spare moment.

Click here to see the full range of ebooks and training courses included in The Ultimate Photography Bundle (Beginner’s Edition).

There’s even better news! Everything in the bundle has a combined total value of $555, but for this week only, The Ultimate Bundles Team is selling the entire bundle for just $37 – a discount of more than 90%! What’s more, they’re also throwing in a FREE copy of FX Photo Studio Pro software from MacPhun (which provides stunning filters and photography effects) worth $29.99!

Click here to buy The Ultimate Digital Photography Bundle (Beginner’s Edition) for just $37.

No blurriness, no exposure nightmares, no bad angles. Just perfect, happy memories!

Oh, and if you happen to be beyond the beginner level, there are two other bundles available as well … intermediate (if you know the basics and you’re ready for the next level) and business (if you’re currently a pro photographer or hoping to start a business soon).  They are awesome as well (and include tons of sweet bonuses)!!
