Catching up....

It has been a few months since I have posted any pictures to my blog.  Since then I have created a portfolio using Zenfolio. Please check out my work @ http://aprilkillianphotography.zenfolio.com

Oh and I've joined a photography club here in the local area. It has been neat seeing how others "rate" my photos and I have learned a lot from seeing other peoples work. Of course most of the time my shots are of kids and other members shots are of places they've such as oh you know... Egypt, Africa, Austria....etc..etc... While they're trying to figure out how to photo edit out the random tourist that jumped into their shot, I on the other hand spend my time prepping for meetings by photo editing away snot from Liam's nose.

Here are some shots using my latest lens edition.  Mom and Dad bought me a 40mm "pancake" lens for Christmas and as of lately it is my "go to" lens. Here are a few shots of family from Easter this year.... let me know what you think.....

Oak Grove Lake Park

This morning we went to a nearby park to take Christmas photos with family friends. We took each others pictures and afterwards took a few candids as the kids played on the playground. Here are a few of the playground shots....

 

Matt & Laura

For those who don't know, Laura is the amazing person that makes my hair look as awesome as it does.  Her hubby was out of town recently and now.... HE"S BACK!  Since Laura knows my love of photography (you'd be suprised what we discuss as I'm sitting in her salon chair) she asked me to take their pictures.  I'm honored she asked me and I can't wait to show the pictures off, cause they turned out GREAT.......hope you agree:

 

A Great Dismal Day

Yesterday was "Dismal Day" at the Great Dismal Swamp. Of course we happened to stumble across this by luck and decided to get out and explore. Afterwards we drove around a few back roads before we stopped at the Northwest River Park and Sean and Scott perfected their rock skipping skills. Here are the pictures of our adventures.

After exploring the Great Dismal Swamp, we decided to go for a drive in the back country side of North Carolina. Here is what we saw:

 

Look at all those soybeans.

 

Makes me wanna take a backroad.

After exploring the backroads, we headed to the Northwest River Park to soak in the beauty of the lake.

 

 

Scotty being silly.
