FAQ

What kind of camera do you use?
Canon Digital Rebel XT, a digital SLR.

What lenses do you use most often?
I love my Canon EF 50mm 1.4 and use a 28-70mm 2.8 lens often.

When did you start your blog?
This blog was born in June of 2008. Though I do have a post dated earlier, from a diary entry I thought I'd share.

Why do you call your daughter Baby Blue?
Baby Blue is a nickname given to my daughter, Aliyah, first because of her blue eyes, even though they're more green now than blue. It's a perfectly fitting since our last name is also Blue.

How do you pronounce Aliyah?
Just like the singer, Aaliyah. No, she's not named after her, they just happen to have had the same name. AH-LEE-AH.

Can I use your photos?
Many of many photos have a Creative Commons Licence and are on Flickr. If you'd like to use them for a site or project, please ask permission. Thank you.

Can you teach me how to make my photos look the way yours do?
I'm planning on putting together a few tutorials on some of the effects I use. Soon, soon.

How do you get it all done?
Ha ha. Well, first, I don't. I've written a post for Raspberry Lemonade with tips to help, but like all families, we've got messes and piles and undone lists. It's a part of life.
An important thing to note is that a blog never shows 'all' of a person's life. For me, my blog is about the small, yet big, things in our lives. I try to find the joys, the celebrations and the everyday moments we share together as a family. I want it to be a reminder to me - and perhaps an inspiration - to always cherish the simpler moments of bliss that we have together. It's a way to keep track of memories.
