our first gathering



i was so hoping to have this post up right after our gathering, but...better a little tiny bit late than never.

let me start out by saying thank you to lexi, again, for coming up with the idea of
'just getting some photographers together for a fun evening.'
who would have thought all this from that?
but, as we know, most wonderful things start with a quiet, little thought.

next, lexi and i both want to thank everyone who came out, joined in, shared, laughed, chased spiders, sat side by side and even got up for the photo booth (yes, i already wrote that on our fb wall, but i still mean it and it makes me smile;)
lemonade and lenses would not be possible without each and every one of you coming together as a community. thank you for bringing your smiles, friendship, knowledge and most especially, your sweet selves. an extra hug to those of you who drove in from far, far away...
all we can say is WOW!

i'm going to post a few shots even though many of you did a fabulous job of that already. if you'd like to see what i'm talking about, you can go here,  here,  here, here and here.  (if i have missed anyone, PLEASE let me know!)
thank you all for capturing the evening so beautifully! an extra special thank you to renee of ribbons of red for the cutest little burlap bags filled with goodness and the even sweeter little buttons! and, did all of you notice how beautiful the floral centerpieces were?
that was all angel of angel pope photography...who says you don't have a green thumb? xo.
i didn't have a lot of time to pick my camera up (and lexi's was in the shop) but when i did, this is what i saw...







 and now for photo booth fun!








 next time...
EVERYONE GETS IN FRONT OF THE PHOTO BOOTH!

a little note...and some changes

as much as i love putting boards together...i can foresee this being a bigger and bigger task as more and more peeps join in.
so, i'm going to change the way images are submitted and showed that i think will be easier all the way around. i hope this is alright with everyone!

i want to create an album on the l&l facebook page for each themed week and have all the images in there, in one place and easy to check out.
in order to do that i would love to ask all of you to do this... (pretty please):

• email your images to me (gina) at gina@kiwistreetstudios.com NO LATER than the second sunday following the announcement of the new theme. be sure to add my email to your contact list too;)

• the images need to be submitted in the following format - .jpg format, 72dpi, the longest side no larger than 720 px wide.

• i will post the images in the themed album as soon as i can upon i receiving them. absolutely tag yourselves when you see them!

• please feel free to watermark your images...but, try to watermark them in such a way that it doesn't hide the image;)

•please please feel free and i actually encourage everyone to leave your comments on each others images. i know we are all sooo busy, but if an image really speaks to you, let that artist know!


the last thing i'd like to say is that this is meant for fun, stretching and growing no matter where on your own personal journey you happen to be. your interpretation,  your vision and your art.



ok...the new tuesday theme is {love}
