Photo shoots

I LOVE pictures! I have always loved taking pictures and capturing all the great moments in life with my friends and family. I have always been the one taking pictures, and I am by no means a professional photographer nor do I really know any of the real techniques of photography. I am very blessed to have friends and family who are, however, very good at taking pictures and editing them to look like real professional photos. Recently, my sister-in-law Alisha and my friend Rachel have both blessed me with their talents. They both took some maternity pictures shortly before Bella was born, and on Monday, Rachel came by and took some pictures of Bella. She loves taking newborn pictures, and we were happy to let her test some new things out on us. Well, I guess Bella didn't really have a choice in the matter.. haha This weekend, Alisha is going to take some more pictures for us, and I am very excited to see how they turn out! If my girls want to be models when they grow up, they will already have tons of experience ;-)

Here is Rachel's website: http://picsbyricks.blogspot.com/2009/05/perfect.html She has already posted one picture of Bella, and it took my breath away.

Here are links to the maternity pics she posted and some pics of Taylor: http://picsbyricks.blogspot.com/2009/04/such-beautiful-little-girl.html
