My name is Jill Davis Doughtie, and I live in Pasadena, CA. I’m married to Gavin, I have two stepsons (young teenager and pre-teen), and the kids’ mom and I are friends.
You can reach me by email at jilldoughtie@gmail.com.
I take pictures using a Canon PowerShot SD800 IS
I also blog at:
- The DHX, a collaborative blog about raising kids in two houses by my stepkids’ mom and me
- Eye Level Pasadena
I am so glad you found me again! Somehow in the changes, I lost your official website, and you’re definitely someone I want to keep around!! Congratulations on your marriage! You two are adorable and I know the kids are pretty wild about you too!
Hi Jill - Wow! Another step-mom…thanks for visiting my blog and commenting. I love your photos. I just bought a new camera myself… Canon Rebel xTi. I debated on the SD800… your photos look so much better than mine. Thanks for visiting.
This is such a beautiful blog! I have to say I’m very impressed at how much you manage to blog/photograph, etc. You are such an artistic soul!
Hi! I follow your blog because I love your photographs/style. How do you take such clear pics without a flash? I try to keep my flash off and mine always blur. Did you change the ISO?
Thanks!!! With the Canon Powershot, usually I try to hold the camera really steady, and I take a bunch of pictures because usually a few of them will come out clear, even though most of them are blurry. Sometimes I brace it against myself or an object to help hold it steady. With the Nikon D40, I get the clearest pictures by using a tripod. But I still take a lot of pictures, because even with a tripod they sometimes come out blurry. I probably take about 150 pictures for every one I end up using in a blog.
