Prep & Tuts

Posted on October 28, 2010

I have a hard time writing or saying Tuts without giggling. Yes I am still young at heart.

As we’re getting a few people signed on and a few people sitting on the fence, I figured I’d share a couple resources for you.

For the photo challenge, the biggest thing is just getting out and doing something.
Stop talking, start doing.
Use anything that can take a picture and post it. If you want to do a little photoshop work, go for it. Did you know you can download a trial copy of PS for 30 days for FREEEEEE?!?
You can.

Here are some fun resources for you to try out, learn from and just use. Enjoy!

If you don’t want a blog and just want a place to post pictures, try Posterous.
It’s easy and it’s free.

There you have it. A few things to get you ready for the 30 day challenge.
I’m looking forward to it and hope you are too!

Pumpkin Patch Two

Posted on October 27, 2010

The other day I posted a little about our second sons pumpkin patch field trip. Well today was our oldest turn to tour the farm.

You have to love living in the wide open spaces and being able to drive right down the road to fresh produce, open fields and the smell of manure. Not to mention the gorgeous weather we got to have for the first trip and the one today.

Depending on how things work out and what the rules are about all the kids pictures, I’ll see if I can post anything more. For now I’ll post a picture of our oldest and another pic of our good friends daughter.

Make sure you get out and enjoy some fall weather while you can. It’s certainly my favorite time of the year!!!
Cheers,
Matthew A. Hawkins

Baby Girl

Posted on July 15, 2010

Raising two boys has been a blast so far. We make action movies, wrestle, fart, play video games, fart, wrestle and pretty much everything boys are supposed to do.

July 13th, 2010 at 4:50pm my wife and I welcomed our third child into our lives. Our baby girl Anea. She is adorable and tiny. My wife already says she knows she’s going to be fighting for my affection. Anea has stolen a piece of my heart already. Pictures say more than words:

Cake Smash

Posted on July 13, 2010

So a few weeks ago I met up with Sarah from Silver Lamb Studios and we got a chance to film and take photos of Little N smash up a cake.

This is what ensued (to check out the photos GO HERE):

Silver Lamb Studios and SilverScreen Tots are available for photo and video shoots and we’ll have more info posted soon!

Bridal Falls & Hawkins Boys

Posted on May 10, 2010

A few weeks ago we went for a fun walk up to Bridal Falls.
The boys love getting outside and checking out anything dirty, nature related or just running around. Why not let them run up a hill?!?
I tried out a few new things with the pics, just having fun playing around and learning a few new things!
