Question: Shouldn't pictures taken with an expensive 8 mega-pixel camera, with a kick-butt lens look awesome? Cameras that nice, it really shouldn't matter
WHO is really taking the pictures...right? Well, since it is totally impossible for me to always be the photographer (plus I want to be in some of the shots) I get Jon to fill in as guest-photographer. The only thing is that he has a very different
EYE than myself. He truly believes that beauty is
SUBJECTIVE, and that candid shots are
ALWAYS the best.
Since I agree that Art, and beauty are subjective, I've decided to let our families decide which pictures present us in the best possible light!

Now I know that my photos are not going to win any photo awards...but I do think I see a difference in how we choose to portray the ones around us....just saying.
Not sure if this belly still qualifies as a "BUMP." But I do know that this is the first week I've actually started to feel "awkward." I just started a pre-natal Yoga class, and I can hardly do any of the moves I used to do with ease. I felt a bit silly, so I guess I just need more practice.
