Babies' Room



We have nearly got the babies' room done! We used earth-tones that complimented the bedding and wall-paper my wife chose. We still lack a few peices of furniture and the bedding to complete the room. Putting together two cribs at one time was a trying experience.



Here is Jen enjoying her gliding chair. Less than 3 months to go!



My mom made a cake for the baby shower that matched the decor in the babies' room. She created each of the animal characters and the "ribbon" out of fondue dough, even mixing the colors herself.

Alone

I've been on a black & white kick lately. I thought this chair was quite sombre sitting alone on my back deck. The lack of color adds to the feeling of loneliness. I like how there are many different groups of lines in this photo. The planks of the deck and fence, and the stripes in the chair all tie together nicely.

Jen

My wife had just awakened from a nap when I shot this photo using natural light from a window. She is almost 7 months pregnant.

Ring


I had seen a photo like this somewhere on the internet, so I don't by any means take credit for the idea. I used natural light for this photo and an ISO setting of 1600. I had to take the photo from several angles before I was satisfied with the shadow the ring casts. I wish the "heart" was more obvious, but I am overall satisfied with the result.
