Many of you have asked questions in the comment sections and I have not answered those. At this point I am so far behind it feels impossible to check up. So, if you asked a question about something on a specific post and are still waiting for the answer, please ask it in the comments of this post. Next week I will try to answer those all at once.
Well I am going to have to close this post down! I think this is all the questions I can tackle for now. I’ll do this again sometime, but for now please don’t add anymore questions!

Kristi - I agree with everyone else. I would love to hear lots of tips about taking better photos. I just got a dslr about 5 months ago and still trying to learn. I just bought a 50mm lens and love how I am finally getting the blurry background. But I also get a lot of completely blurry photos. How do you get the crisp photo?
julie - can you please, pretty, pretty please host an online snap shop?
or move to california.
kaythanksbye.
amy - i find myself bowled over by your creative energy (photography, crafts, charity, etc) and yet still you are a mommy to 4 little ones. do you sleep? when you do find the time to do it all? i found your blog from your AT kitchen renovation–which is so beautiful and inspiring, by the way.
Jasie - First, I second Melissa’s question. I would love to see how your bedrooms are decorated. I get so stumped with Harper’s room. Even my own! I’m ready for a change and I’m drawn towards your style.
Second, the stretchy headbands you use. Are they just cut/sewn pantyhose?
Michelle - I would love to know where you got that black hat with ear flaps that your daughter is wearing in your 10/2/09 post. That is the cutest winter hat I’ve seen. Also where do you get your daughters clothes. Thanks!
Zoe C - I love your website, it is so inspiring! I’m just starting to mess around with a DSLR and am with the others on online snapshops as I’m in the UK. But you must be so busy, I don’t know how you do it, amazing!
Becca - Hey! I have similar questions to others but one is your photography. I have a canon digital rebel xti and am trying to learn the “creative settings.” Its quite a learning curve for me as I got very used to using automatic everything and focused my attention on catching expressions, angles and moments. What setting do you most use and how often do you use your flash? If you don’t use a flash, what setting is required? I just love your blog and got it from Meg’s Whatever blog. You both seem so wonderful and real and that is nice to read about.
Chelsea - What sort of DSLR camera would you recommend for a beginner? I’ve been wanting to make the switch from my regular digital camera but am unsure about which camera to buy. Your photographs are amazing!!! Thanks for sharing your world
kelly - i would also like to know about the fireplace. And also I love the green and blue bedding and was wondering if I could get the name?
Rachel Ridd - I am super curious about how you did your fireplace. Are those real logs are painted on?
Rachel
Margie - Thank you for the tips for the shoe photograph, it turned out really well! I do have another question…..what would be a good setting for taking pictures outside in early morning and late afternoon light? An online snap-shop would be fantastic, your photography section of the blog is kind of like that already….I have been referencing it a lot as I try to master my dslr!
Mateja - I’m with Michele re ‘an online snap shot’, if that’s doable…
(being from Europe I think I’d have a wee bit of a problem flying over to attend a proper ‘live’ one) looove your blog, btw! and your kids are adorable…
Alba - I have the same question as above, would you host any online photography classes? or the Snap Shop online? Whenever you have time. I’m in Barcelona, Spain, you know, it’s quite a trip to your place. Thanks
Michelle Thomas - First, I LOVE to visit your site-you’re so fun!! I’m a total amateur photographer (not in the business just take pictures of my little boy) but I am really trying to learn as much as I can to better my pictures. 1. What camera settings did you use in your ‘Snow and Ice’ post? 2. What is your favorite lens/camera setting for shooting active kids? 3. Do you host any online photography classes? I’m in Columbia, SC. Maybe an online Snap Shop?
Thanks SO much!
Michelle
Sandy - I love the chalkboard above your couch! Where did you find it or how did you make it? Where do you get your creative inspiration?
Lauren - Your children are adorable! Do you guys plan on adding more to the family in the future?
Jodi - oh and where do you get your globes from? i am on the hunt for some for my kiddos playroom!!
Jodi - yes….many.
what camera and lenses do you use? are your kids in school? how do you organize your day and have time to blog? i find that i just can’t keep up on both and i ending up posting about once a week. and last one….i can’t seem to find a way to subscribe to your blog? am i missing something?!
thanks for indulging!
natalie - I love your blog and your photographs! I am new to photography and your site is great inspriation for me. One question for you: Do you do a lot of photoshop work to your images or do they come out looking this great out of the camera?
Tess S. - i have all the same questions as above, and i asked a few days ago if you met Meg from WHATEVER. I thought one of you had mentioned something about meeting eachother. I’d love to see pictures if you did!
Mara - I am always so impressed with the vibrant colors in your photographs. What sort of post-processing programs, tools, and/or actions do you use?
Lisa @ ellebows - Do you have a blog button that we can post on our own blogs? Hugs, Lisa
Stephanie - I love all of your candid photos of your children and was wondering what lens you use most? I know this is probably a stupid question, but is there one lens you would recommend everyone have?
dena - random ? what type of ribbon/binding/materials did you use for the straps on your dresses for Africa. Our church is having a night to make them and I was trying to think of what material would hold up the best. Thanks so much!
Melissa - I love your style and creativity.. I would love to see more of your kids rooms and how they are decorated.. if you feel comfortable that is.. thanks!
