Camera Phone Fun
I love my camera. My REAL camera.

My parents gave it to me as a Christmas gift in December, 2009 (right after I started blogging!), and since then, it’s recorded a lot of pretty important moments:

But.
Lately—I’m LOVING my i-phone camera. I’m finding that it’s so much easier to carry around a tiny little phone, as opposed to lugging a giant DSLR camera (say it with me now: DUH!!!).
And you know what I’m discovering?
That tiny little phone takes some pretty dang good pictures. Especially with some of the apps that are out there to help you along a little bit. Lately, I’ve been loving Camera+ (an editing app):
…and Lumie:
(an app that adds glitter and bubbles and stars to pictures…what’s not to love?).
Yesterday, I snapped this photo on my way to yoga:
I used my phone throughout the rest of the evening to take pictures of dinner:
…and our after-dinner playtime:
…and bathtime (sparkles courtesy of Lumie):
…and finally, bed:
Or, as Lila likes to think of it, “bed”:
And then, it was finally bed-time for us too, after one final belly-rub:
How can you resist?
Do you have any camera phone apps that you love? I also use pic-stitch, an app that creates collages like this:
…and aviary, an app that lets you put stickers on photos, so that I can amuse myself by creating (and texting family members) photos like this:
Obviously, I’m easily amused. These pictures had me cracking up for days.
Ciao!

Love my iphone!
Hey! Beautiful photographs! I’m starting to (try to) get more into taking pictures and have been taking a class with a local photographer–also a mom–very good mojo there, for me. I just got a good Canon. But then I’ve also been thinking I should upgrade to an iphone. I think you just gave me my answer. Thanks Anna Lowe!
What incredible pictures! I don’t use my phone as much as I should for pics. I need to look at those apps now though. I need to make sparkly pictures of the boys!
I just got my iPhone 2 weeks ago and I’m already attached to the damn thing! I am 100% obsessed with Instagram, off to download Pic Stitch right now!
