I just recently got a Canon Digital Rebel XTi and am completely in love. It is crazy how a good camera can make you look at life so differently. And I have such a *Sweet Life*!
What you can expect on this blog is pictures from my life, the things around me, and things that I just find beautiful! I will also be telling as much as I can on what mode I took the picture in, what lenses I use, and how I edited the picture if there was any. I will try and pass on as many tips as possible to help you use your camera the best of your ability but the key to that is.......I have to learn too! This is all new to me so there is a lot I still have to learn!
If you just like to look at the pics then skip on by all of the details and just enjoy the view!
I do want to point out though that at the current time the only place I am really able to take photos are either at home or at MIL's house! It's a little difficult to venture off on a photography excursion when you have 3 rugrats pulling on your legs or running off when you have your back turned for a brief second! So, bare with me and my country life until I am able to venture out a little more (hopefully next month I'll get a free 'me' day).

Now on to my first picture post. I posted this one on my 'Sweet Somethings' blog but I wanted this to be the first one I posted here. I just absolutely love this picture! It is of my 3 kids sitting on a cement wall by our barn.
*Standard 18-55 mm lens.
*Cropped in Photostudio (yes, I know can you believe I don't have Adobe?! Soon!)

Both of the following photographs are from the Peony bush beside my porch. Normally they are full of several flowers but right before they bloomed my 3 year old picked every bud off but three! Ahhh! I look forward to those so much every spring! Oh well, at least I got 3, right?
*75-300 mm lens
*75-300 mm lens
*Close-up mode

This was taken in my MIL's garden. My husband picked out that stone cat for her as a present when he was little. It's special to her. I liked the weathered wood behind it.
*Standard 18-55 mm lens
*Converted to black and white
*Increased the contrast in Photostudio to enhance the darker sections
Well, hope you enjoyed these! I'll be seeing you soon! I still have to add all of the goodies to my sidebars and whatnot but everything will get done eventually!
Have a Sweet Life!

Love your photo blog!! I love the tootsies picture...so precious. I also loved those peony bushes too...did you know those have been there for over 40 years?
I'll link to your new blog on both of mine if that's okay with you. :)
Talk to you soon!

YEAH! Congratulations on launching your photo blog! I'm so excited for you, I'm just going to have to live vicariously through you until Im able to get a decent camera myself! Don't apologize for not travelling to exotic, far-flung corners of the world. The *BEST* pictures you'll ever take will most likely be of the things you love right in your own backyard (like those 6 adorable feet!) I'm looking forward to seeing/reading more, Heidi!
Congratulations on your new photography blog, Heidi! I know I will enjoy coming here to check out your beautiful work.
Congrats on the new digs Heidi! It looks awesome and your photos are AMAZING! I can't wait to see more!
Love the pic of the 3 kids on the wall. Can't wait to see more.
Ohhh my goodness girl your pictures are devine! I am sooo very envious!!! Love the one of your son & the mud & daughter with wings. My youngest has a pink dress with wings that she lives in. It will be a while before I get a camera like yours so I'm thinkin the only good part about waiting is I can learn some tips from you;)
Heidi:
I jist ran across you photo blog this evening. I love your pictures. I noticed that you haven't posted anything in quite some time. I hope that's because you're building a portfolio that you're going to post soon.
Keep up the photography. It's beautiful.
