Once you didn't eat all your dinner... macaroni and cheese. As daddy threw it away, he told you it was *screaming* to be eaten. From then on you always pretended to be *Screaming Macaroni*... And so become your nickname - Macaroni Camryn.
I used Agi Methven\'s - Going Dotty, such a cute kit!

Thanks Deb!!
A large megapixel camera helps get the pictures that can fill the page a little more. Mine is 8MP Olympus Evolt 500. Not the lowest priced, but I feel so totally worth it for the pictures I get from it. But you can research for other great cameras at lower cost too, a lot of Kodak ones get great reviews... Canon Rebel is another higher end one with great reviews.
I think the biggest tip besides the camera is to be still yourself, because the kids rarely are! Helps cut down on any blur... I mean try to be rock still... lol. And just snap a zillion pictures and one is likely to be a keeper! I took about 100 shots between Caleb and Camryn this day!! A digital camera really helps with this... you know you can just dump off the ones that didnt turn out good.
Also try a variety of angles... for this picture I was laying in the grass in front of her and took her picture from below her level.
LOL don't be afraid of looking like a crazy person while laying around in the park, believe me if I can do it, anyone can!
