Through Their Lens

June 28, 2012

Lately, I have been turning to my girls for photos. I admit to being really, really lazy with my camera for the last year or so. I just don't take photos like I used too. I would give anything for a cool iPhone, or any cell phone that takes good photos on it, so that I could snap pictures at any given moment, no matter where I was. Instead of lugging out the huge camera, with the heavy lens.

Luckily, the girls have their iPod Touch's (4th Generation, which has the camera). They may not have the best quality images, but they're not half bad either. I'm constantly checking out their Instagram's, and telling them "Hey, email me THIS picture", and "Hey, email me THAT picture".

I have a few of these photos already printed out and am working them onto some layouts. They even captured their day at Great America last week on their iPod Touch's, and those photos filled up a two page layout that I'll be sharing soon. Alyssa is also doing the Photo-A-Day challenges, and posts her picture every night on Instagram. Lovin' it!

This is so cute, love the photos. My girls would love to do this also, no iphone for them only for me. I do let them use my phone and I find some funny picutres of them.
That’s great she does the picture a day and posts them. Can’t wait to see the layouts!

that’s GREAT! I LOVE that my kids take pictures on their ipod touches–makes my life a little more fun to create something with a view from their eyes!

What a world and life you live with teenage daughters! I can’t imagine what that’s like since I have a boy…a very shy one. Don’t feel bad, Laura, I don’t have an iPhone either! I’m more of a home body since I have just one child and we’re not racing from this sport event to that trip to the mall. Christopher is like his father, more interested in intellectual activities than physical ones. LOVE that photo of the girls sticking out their tongues and then the wee one copying! Precious!

So cute! I can’t wait to see the layouts you come up with. I love all the Bella Blvd. stuff. It reminds me of KI Memories (which I don’t know if they are still in business). I have a daughter that will be 13 next week. Can’t even believe it. Your girls look so much alike, they could be twins! My two oldest (almost 13 and almost 15) are really looking alike these days too.
