Photography does not come cheap!!! I remember with my daughters I spent hundreds of dollars on pictures. Yes they are worth it, but what if you don’t have the budget for such a thing?
I have found that by browsing flickr and other photography websites I could get some really cool ideas on how to do it myself. Granted I do have a SLR camera, but you could make some great pictures without a SLR. I also have photoshop Elements. It’s the cheapish toned down version of the Professional Photoshop- if you don’t have the money for this there are free photo enhancing websites like Picasa and Picnik. Get creative with props and don’t be afraid to try new things (I have more than a few great pics from when I was just playing with my camera)!
I may not be the best photographer on the planet, but I think I have created some great photos that I can display for years to come.
Here are a few examples (some of these were also taken by my talented husband!)!

Happy Creating!
