The birth and life of Shiyla LeeAnn McCarley!

Sunday, August 20, 2006

Ok, that's all the pictures I have for now. As mentioned earlier, I know we missed a lot of people that made it by and we will have to catch up with you later. If you took some pictures, send them to me at rmccarley@14thc.com.

And for any tech buffs out there, I used a Samsung Digimax S500 to take these pictures. Being a highly skilled photographer I used the "auto" setting.

I actually think it did a good job and I have not altered, cropped or adjusted any of the colors in these pictures. They are all natural!

Grrrr! Flickr and Blogger are not playing nice so getting these pics up is taking more time than I expected.

Also, many of the guests that came by were missed on film so we will have to catch you when you come by the house. Thanks to everyone for their support. Shiyla is very lucky to have such a great family and community around her!
