Love That Shot: Beautiful Bokeh

Liam's first fish of the season.  :)  Almost as big as the worm he caught it with.

Camera Happy: My First Non-Family Shoot

I've always LOVED taking pictures of my kids, my nieces and nephews, and close friends.  Today, I embarked on a new endeavor.  I had my first non-family shoot.  It was fun! 

I was honored when a co-worker asked me to photograph her daughter and grandson for a "Mommy & Me" portrait.  I was nervous, as I am just an amateur and have no real training.  But I do love taking pictures and trying new things, so I agreed under the terms that there were no expectations and it was just for fun. 

I loved it.  11 week old Isaac was just a complete sweetheart.  He cooed and squeaked through the couple hours that we played, smiled, and photographed he and his beautiful mommy.  I enjoyed every bit of it, and I'm excited to see where my new hobby and love for families and children takes me. 

Curly Cue

It's crazy to see the changes in our little fellows around here.  Our strong-willed, sweet, courageous, scared-of-ants, three year old has become more similar in his looks to his daddy. 

It's no secret to those who know us that these boys are chips off the old block.

Daddy's little clones show different likenesses to their daddy, and Landon has his golden locks. 

Wordless Wednesday: It's A Sure Sign of Spring

Dirt.  Everywhere.
(Although it snowed 6 inches last night)

Above the Law

With each baby boy I have taken pictures of him with his daddy's dress hat from the police department.   All of the boys have one at 6 months old and I treasure those photographs!

Can you tell which baby is which?

Before/After Photography Post

Such a great photo of my aunt, Sara, and our little Lachlan. I was disappointed in the lighting with the picture turnout and with such a small window of time to capture it.  I use my Canon 1000D set at 1/60 and was using no flash, as the lighting seemed right in previous pictures.  I lightened the contrast and played with the color saturation.  Not a great turn out, but a moment saved.

Time,

 

Time sure flies when we're having fun!

Happy 6 months to my HAPPY, ENERGETIC, SMILING, SCOOTING,  CHATTY, DROOLING, BOUNCING  baby boy!
