sisters in the blossoms

every year, the trees blossom and something inside me screams "TAKE PICTURES!!!"

but before i can get out there, the trees have already turned.

well, not this year. i was determined to get my sweet girlies out there.

a few months back, i took a photography class from my amazingly talented friend, cori derksen. check out her blog here. she also does an amazing blog to help you learn how to use your fancy camera! check that one out here

since then, i have been a bit on the crazy side about practicing with my camera on the manual setting. i love it. i have a LOT to learn, but i'm having so much fun!

so, why not spend a morning with some of my favorite things? my cute daughters, my camera, my wonderfully patient husband, and some lovely blossoms.

i did wrestle with shadows... a good learning experience!

learning to walk, but she prefers to hold on to daddy

love them.

bella loves her little sister so much and always wants to help her practice her walking skills.

and just for fun... some of our favorite 'bella faces'.

she is hilarious.

the 'i say what?!!?' face

the 'oh no you didn't!'

love these girls. love watching them grow up together and their genuine adoration of each other. how i pray that will continue and they will be sweet friends forever.
