Attempt #1 at Birthday Pictures

It's time for a party!! Noah's birthday is coming up in Febuary and I'm so excited to get his 2nd birthday plans going! I love to make my own birthday cards, so I have an idea to take Noah's picture while he is playing in leaves. We waited too late to leave the shop today and I lost out on using the light. I thought I'd take a few pictures anyway so I could see how Bub was gonna do with leaf play. He had a good ol time, but it got dark too soon, so we didn't get to do it very long. Olivia on the other hand was not a fan of the leaf pile. I guess I'll have to wait for a day when it's sunny so I can get some good pictures out of it. I need to read my manual again and figure out the trick that makes the background blurry and the person clear. That seems to be what a lot of photographers are doing these days.
