I am soooo happy you guys are my friends. Every single comment on my last job supporting me for 'taking a break' from photography for a while made me feel so blessed to have friends like you guys! I know I'll still wanna do someone's photos from time to time but for now I'm gonna enjoy spring and hopefully be doing all kinds of awesomeness this summer!
Okay so I've been taking like tons of photos the last few days! It's insane..I really ought to be out with my son and hubby but I wanted to get this post done real quick so I could cuddle up with the husband tonight and watch our shows! But anyways here are some of my link ups for today!
This is probably the best and my most favorite photo I have taken with my iPhone. I sometimes take pictures OF pictures on my computer screen to share on Instagram (and btw if any of you guys have Instagram find me at natalie_franklin on there!)..but this was totally taken with my phone's camera and I edited in IG using the tilt shift feature and the "Nashville" filter! I love it!
One of my most 'favorite' things is music. I love music. My Dad writes music and I grew up to all the classics in every musical genre! My husband has a black Ibanez guitar that reminds me of Johnny Cash..so I decided to photograph it!
Over at Purply Pink Me the theme this week is "Shoes". I choose this photo because you can see my husband's old worn out boots...I love worn out boots, they tell a story of a sort and when they're worn they've been through a lot, like some of us have! I also loved the composition of the shot and the black and white just made it that much more..."Umph" I guess ;)
This is my "Show Off" shot of the week. My parent's have one of the best landscaped yards out here and they have all kinds of colorful gorgeous trees and bushes. This bush has honeysuckle growing in it too! Which means a pleasantly smelling summer for us! YAY! But the small little buds on this made for awesome bokeh in the shot. I just adjusted levels and sharpened and upped the vibrance. It's shot like these that make me wanna kiss my Nifty Fifty!

For my "Different Perspective" shot I chose this shot. I had to sit under my parent's tree as this particular branch had SOO many blossoms on it it was weighed down so to get the bokeh I wanted I got under it to focus on the end of the branch!
Can you hear his "laughter" as he ran from me because I had my camera??? I love him.
Thanks for always bearing with me through my packed posts! Will try and do my visiting tonight or tomorrow mornin! :D
