I love the photos and moments that your mom has been able to capture on film. Wow she has an eye for beuatiful things that is for sure!

Just gorgeous!
I really love your new banner too!!!

Go, Mama McDougall!!

Hi Ali: Deena from CT here. I love the pictures your Mom took. I agree, I'm getting the deep feeling that those pictures are setting off. I was just wondering where that location was. It looks beautiful. Thanks... :)

Love that last one of walking on the beach especially...I can almost hear the peace and smell the moist air...love it, thanks for sharing and kudos to your Mom! Wow!

beautiful pictures!

what a great shot! your mama has a wonderful eye for this, Ali... i adore pics taken at the shore - all that white space just speaks "art" to me : )

I love that you change your banners - I suspect that it is not hard at all however, I have not yet taken the time to figure out how to do a banner for my blog - could you post a quick tutorial on how you make a pic into your banner - whenever you get a chance of course :)

Those are beautiful. I love your new banner, as well.

Fabulous moody photos! Especially love the banner photo with Simon off on the right third and the directional lines of the water :). (actually all 3 have wonderful directional lines---the boat pointing to your Dad and Simon, and the water line in the last photo marching up to your Dad again!) Great job Pati! I'm excited, just got the XT for my birthday on Saturday---yee-haw!

ali-
are any of the shots your mom took that you posted edited? Did you photoshop them or they the originals? They are divine!!

Gorgeous photos!

I see where you get some of your talent from :) Beautiful photos.

Beautiful photography... Tell her to leave the camera on automatic, grin... ;o)))

Ali - the last one would make a beautiful canvas print :) Perhaps you could have it printed and stretched and give it to them as a gift. :)

What lens does she shoot with?

those are amazing pics!! They totally need to be blown up huge and hung on the walls :)

...what awesome photos ...did you become a life artist because your mom showed you the way or did she learn from you?
I have a four year old daughter and I want to get her interested in preserving memories, photography and all that. Just curious if you have any tips.

These are the photos that touch your heart. I'm sure Simon will appreciate them when he's grown. Beautiful.
