And my adult entry is hubby and the little Beast in their sun hats during our family vacation last July. (stupid Blogger cuts off the edge of the picture if I resize it bigger, grrr...)
Please feel free to offer constructive criticism of my photos; your feedback helps me improve, thanks! And despite tons of online research and 2 hours playing with cameras at Best Buy, I'm still using my point and shoot. If you have an affordable, quality dSLR recommendation for a beginner, please leave that advice in your comments too!

I love all the colors in your kid entry...so nice!
cute!
love the new layout!
How cute!
Look at those adorable faces!
Thanks ladies! I love both these photos, but worry that the one of Beauty is too yellow (that's setting-sun light on her face which is so warm) and perhaps too bright which caused some detail to be lost in her face....
Beauty is just so sweet! What an amazing picture. You composed it perfectly! And what can I say about a Daddy & his little Beast? So adorable! Great entries!
The photo of your little beauty is adorable...so is what she is wearing! What a beauty she is!
Okay, you know me, not afraid to pick apart even the CUTEST of pictures! :) There is so much absolutely right with the Beauty's picture, from the textured flooring to the colorful tutu and hat. However, I too see the yellow. Does your editing software have photo filters or "temperature" settings where you can make it a bit cooler? Skin tones are a bear, aren't they?! And what a great hugging, full of hats picture of your husband and son! Makes me happy.
Great pictures! I especially love the one of Beauty!
What a super job you did on your entries...both are great!
I love your entries for this week! Mine go up tonight!
That photo of Beauty is stunning - and I love your new banner!
Okay Julie - took a little yellow out. But now is it too cool?!
The first one made me smile - how adorable?!?!
Great picture! Too cute!
I have a Sony Alpha200. It is a DSLR and it's 10.2 megapixels. I like it a lot and it was relatively inexpensive as far as cameras go....$499. Let me know if you want more specs :)
Gorgeous photos! I also have 2 little ones 9 months and 21 months :)
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Your little girl is too precious! And I LOVE the picture of your son and husband. Such a sweet, sweet memory!
Your little girl looks so precious
Oh, that first picture should so win! That is just way too freakin' cute for words!!! =0)
LOVE your blog header, too.
OHHH, those are both so wonderful! I really like your little girl picture...the colors are so fun!
Ohhhh...love the 'tutu' cute image of Beauty ; ) Just lovely! Great composition, love the way you captured her.
I certainly do not know enough to give you any criticism, especially because i think these are both so perfect~ :-) your little girl's hat and tutu are just way too cute!
Awww, I love both of those! SO sweet!!
the tutu picture is totally stunning, i love it.
OMG, she is adorable! I want a little girl to dress up! So glad to have found you through SITS!!
What a cutie! I LOVE that first one!
I agree with Julie, there are so many things right with this image of Beauty. I think toning is very personal, I tend to lean towards a warmer tone rather than a cool tone. I think this is about as cool as I would go. Composition wise the only thing that could have made a SLIGHT improvement would have been a 15 or 20 degree tilt to the left so that beauties face would have fallen into the rule of thirds. Also when my subject is looking up I like to leave more space on the top rather than at the bottom of the image. It gives your subject something to look into if that makes sense. Oh and I'd give the edges a burn to really bring the focus into beauty and not the texture she is sitting on.
As far as camera advice goes...I am a Canon fan through and through so anything outside of their wonderful products is beyond my expertise.
Just some humble advice from one of your biggest fans. ;)

Oh Cari, I love the one of Beauty. That outfit, and look on her face is priceless. Great job.
I love both pictures, great job....
I love the photos and love your blog! I also love that you are from Seattle - yay!
I ended up finding my Nikon D70s on craigslist and it came with one lens, an extra battery, a tripod, software and all sorts of goodies for $475. It's in perfect condition and came with all the original boxes and manuals. After all the research I did, I thought it was quite a steal. Although now I think I need a 200mm lens to get my kids sports. I figure I will "grow" into it - although right now it's way more camera than I need.
So sweet! I know how tough it is to get a still shot of an active baby!
And that last shot with daddy is priceless! Love his expression!
I love both of them but the kid's entry - Oh my! I love it.
Those are my FAVORITE! You nailed it this week for sure.
Both beauty and teh beast were gorgeous. That smile he is wearing is great! Also, that colored tutu and polka dotted hat are magical.
Great shots.
I love both pictures......but then I'm terrible at picture taking....but I still love your photos.
Hope you have had a beautiful day.
L-O-V-E the kid entry!
Both your entries are awesome! I like Beast's little smirk. I wish I knew about those poofy tutus when Hanna was a baby, I don't think Qunn would appreciate me putting one on him!
I have no advice as I am as novice as they come! I think the shot of Beauty is gorgeous! I need ruffles and tutus in my life. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
If that's what you capture with a point and shoot, you must must must get your hands on a DSLR!
That tutu pic is fantastic!
I gave you a little advice about your camera purchase over on iHearFaces social network. I just thought of another option for you...refurb! Go to BHphoto.com. Sometimes they sell "used" cameras. Really they are usually returned cameras that have nothing wrong with them. BH is a highly reputable store. I use them for all of my camera equipment (I have the Nikon D80). They will tell you anything you want about the camera before you purchase, and the customer service is great. I personally know someone who bought a "used" D40 from them 3 years ago, and it was brand new.
Adorable!! I love tutus!
I simply adore your kids entry! What a great shot! And your new look is fabulous!
Sooooooo precious!!
Oh my goodness, too cute! (or should I say too too cute? LOL!)
really rather stunning - gorgeous!! Awesome shot of Beauty, but really sweet of Beast too :D
