Long time no post!

Hectic, hectic, hectic. That is my life. Pretty obvious since I haven't posted since February, huh?
I haven't done any shoots except on my own kids and random outdoor findings.
Here are a few things I'm pretty proud of. I'll add more probably tonight from over the months!

So as of today I own http://www.alexisfranklinphotography.com/
!!!!!!! I am still trying to figure out the set up and site hosting thing but I'm excited! I would have never even bought my own domain name but it was $1.99 with the purchase of another domain I bought, so here I am! I'll post once its up and going!

Oh! I got my new lense! Its a 50mm/1.8! I'm not that fond of it just yet because its manual focus but it does take amazing pictures! I need to get outside and play around with it but I've been really sick so far all month and havent had the chance. I'm sure once I do, I'll love it!
Here is 1 cute pic I got with it....its my baby girl and her first time eating one of those messy biter biscutes LOL

A few new pics

So on Saturday (1/29) I went to the Jacksonville Zoo with my kids and some friends.
We had a great time, the weather was perfect and of course, I had my camera with me! LOL
I got some really cute shots I just wanted to share.

This is my son feeding a giraffe.

I don't know the correct name for this, but to me its a monkey! He reminds me of Marcel from Friends (remember that?!?) He was up at the window playing with people and I got a couple cute shots of him!

I love love love purple and this color is just so pretty that I had to take a

pic.

I LOVE butterflies! This one was being still enough for me to get a good pic of it and it was on one of those pretty purple flowers so I couldn't resist!

"G" Family pictures

I finally got the editing process finished!
The family was very happy with the outcome as am I!

A few of my little ones

So I'm still working on editing the pics for my friend. Its been a long hectic week and I've just had no motivation to get finished but I am forcing myself to have them done on Saturday so I can give the CD of pics on Sunday when we go over for the Super Bowel (go Steelers!).

Anywho...here are a few of my family that I took while we were there (seize the moment, right?).
Enjoy.....!

Ok, this one, I didn't take. My friend Chuck grabbed my camera and took it and it came out really good!
This is me and my little sugar bear Chloe (5 1/2mths old)

My daughter (2) chasing the seagulls

Chloe. She was actually being held up in the air by daddy.
I got down on the ground and shot the pic looking up.

She was so facinated by the sand and how it felt.
This was her first ever trip to the beach.

My handsome little man.

Peace.

I love this picture. The his big grin makes me smile.

This is probably one of the best pictures I've ever seen of him.

My little diva!

It's very hard to get her to look at the camera.

She was watching the birds fly.
