If you know me well you know that I have a slight obsession with Pinterest. While I was on it a few months ago I pinned a photography challenge (seen here). I knew my friend Lauren (From Our Front Porch) would be game to do it with me. It is a 30 day challenge but we gave ourselves 38 to get all the pictures taken and edited. I am so glad Lauren suggested the extra 8 days because I am not sure how I would have done all of this. It took me to the last second to get this done. I forgot that this would end on Thanksgiving weekend. Oops!
Let me tell you what I learned. One, I am so glad Joel had time to help me. This guy knows his way around a DSLR. I would have spent hours trying to get a picture of stars if he was not around. Two, I have much better luck at taking pictures of people and things that are sitting still. Case in point I took like 50 pictures of Jenna's kids and only like 3 worked out. Three, I am in love with Aperture! Joel found this program from Apple and it is so easy to use and it made my pictures look soooo much better.
Okay now on with the show.

Wow, are you serious? These are amazing!! I have so many things to say about this. But first and foremost, you need to teach me how to edit. I love the "coloring" or tone (don't know the correct terminology I'm looking for) in all of your photos,
Secondly, when did you get such nice clothes?
And thanks for doing this with me!
seriously, when DID you get such nice clothes? Where were they this summer huh? Those pictures are amazing, I am so proud of you! Maybe you can re do all my missing summer shots next year. ...
