6 month pictures

Since I haven't made it to a photo studio......and Gerald and I did agree that with the new camera we really should just be taking the kids pictures ourselves for what we would normally go to a studio for (just hard to do in the winter). I attempted a little photo shoot for Jared's 6 month pictures. Cailyn was being my little helper so some pictures she ended up in. I also tried ones with Jared sitting but he kept trying to get his feet - so they didn't turn out. Gerald's looking for a program to do the vignette like how I want it on the picture since it will frame it off nice. I changed the pic to black and white too.
I don't really care for this vignette - but this is all we found at the moment. We had on our old computer one that did the nice vignette - either we have it again on this computer and forget how to do it - or we don't have it.



Cailyn also asked for her pictures to be taken after....this is my favourite of the bunch. And I did not tell her to pose....she posed on her own!

Cute pictures of Jared. It sure saves money when you can do them on your own. We do our own family pics and yearly pics of Seth. That's some pose that Cailyn did. Cute!

Very cute! We have an editing program called "The Gimp", and it's free to download... you can do a lot of nice things with it, including vignettes.
