He still enjoys little things like a new slinky and is willing to sit in a window so I can play with the light. I wonder what goes on inside his head. I love him.
I will always cherish photos of him with this dog. They have sort of grown up together. We got her when he was barely 4 and he has always loved her so much.
Joy is watching my daughter blow bubbles.
What could possibly be better than a precious newborn? Two precious newborns! I had the privelege to cuddle, rock, shush, feed and cuddle (oh did I say that already) two sweet little guys on Saturday. With twins, I knew I had my work cut out for me, and they definitely kept me busy and challenged, but at the end of the day, I got what I came to get – oh so sweet photos of two super cute little boys.
Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase “photographer’s child” or “PCS – photographer’s child syndrom”… it’s true – these kids are overly photographed. Every time I want to learn a new technique or try out a new location, I am always dragging my kiddos along. I have come to expect the grumbles and groans, but know that it’s worth it because I’m always rewarded with some new favorites. Well, when I got the new camera I’ve been longing for a couple weekends ago, my 7 yr old son was not suprised when I told him we were going to be doing pictures soon! I think he was excited for the rainy forecast because he knew I wouldn’t drag him out into a field if it was raining. But late in the day, to2day, the sun finally burned through all the clouds, and we had enough time to run out to my favorite spot so that “mom could play”. Of course, I bribed them with ice cream if they were cooperative – what kid doesn’t want ice cream??? So here are my results 
Mom, couldn’t be happier
I’ve been photographing this little guy since just few days after his birth. Every few months he comes back for more pictures. He is turning into such a handsome fellow! Happy Birthday, Baby B!
You know, I don’t win a lot of things, but I still enter contests just to see. Usually, I get close to winning, but I never end up getting 1st place. So, on a whim, I decided to enter the Finding the Light Workshop contest. The rules were to pick a photo that I felt best represented 1 of 2 quotes she provided. So, I chose to enter this photo and quote:
“I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.” E.E. Cummings
I figured, it never hurts to try, but just knew that there would be a lot of entries. What made it even worse was that I would not be able to see any of the other entries, so I had no idea what I was up against.
So the evening came that the winners would be posted… I actually almost forgot to check, but then remembered. I go to the Finding the Light blog and here is what I see: http://thelightworkshop.wordpress.com/2011/09/21/fall-2011-contest-winners/
My jaw dropped! I won, I won, I won!!! And to read on that there were over 1,500 entries! I was shocked, amazed, humbled, honored…. And more than anything, it was the sort of affirmation I needed to give me the push to keep growing in photography.
Congratulations to all the other contest winners, too! I’m so excited to do this workshop with all of you!

It has been a while since I’ve had a sweet little girl to photograph, so I was super excited to try out all kinds of fun frilly blankets and hats with Mikayla, but she wasn’t really having much of it – that’s just the way it sometimes goes with newborns. After putting in a few hours of honest effort, mom and I agreed that she had enough for the day and that we would try again in a couple days. Sadly, little Mikayla came down with her first cold at 12 days old (no wonder she didn’t want her picture taken!) When Mikayla was about 3 months old, we finally got her back in to “finish” what we started 10 weeks prior. While the new photos weren’t as “newborn”-ish, we still got some amazing and sweet photos to remember Mikayla’s babyhood. Mikayla is such a beautiful baby with some amazing skin tones.
