Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Introducing.......

Mac & Lucy 

Lucy is the brown on the left and Mac is the black speckled on the right.

They are litter mates and about 15 weeks old now.

They are my babies and I think they are now the apple of my eye, I say phew to the kids where are the puppies. Just kidding, maybe.

The kids love them as well, I'm kind of shocked at how much they kids do like them. Today I caught Tyler outside with both of them in the corner and he was having a full blown conversation with them. He's just like his brother, they both are in that category of "a boy and his dog".  Now Dylan loves them because she can carry them around kind of like babies, I mean she is in HEAVEN !!!

Oh one other thing, I am in no way a pet photographer. This was kind of a logistical nightmare but no one got hurt!!!!

 

 

Holiday Photo Sessions

They almost killed me, I think I over scheduled, but I learned so much and really enjoyed the intensity of it all. It was a great eye opener to the different types of people that I know and have in my life. You can really tell in a picture who is like what and how everyone works together. I'm gonna share a few of my favorites from the gazillion sessions I did.

Looking back I'm amazed at how different each session looks. The setting was somewhat limited but I think this first one is my all time favorite.

              

Happy Holiday! I will do this again next year with a few minor adjustments. I know I have grown from the experience more than anything else lately !!!

Latest

So here is the last session I did, with a family that I shot last year. It is always fun to see them and how much the kids have changed. I have a soft spot for this little boy, he's one of my favs !!!

And this little sweetness reminds me of Dylan so much. They grow so fast.

See you soon.

Halloween 2011

It's true, their is an angel among us. Sucha n interesting costume choice, I have no idea where it came from or how she arrived at it but I think it was such a great success. We ended up making the wings ourselves and the dress was only slightly altered angel costume we got for $7. Felt great to put this together.

Now I can reassure you that Marvin the Martian and the angel got along just fine this night. The ray gun stayed holstered most of the evening, truly everyone was so into the candy that no one even knew there were others around.

I know that we must watch way too much cartoon network for him to even know who Marvin the Martian is, but he did and that was what he wanted. He did end up telling me that no one at school knew who it was, I reassured him that all the important people, the ones giving out candy, would know who he was and be delighted. They were.

Oh and my sweet little Luigi, Super mario brothers is just the bomb in our house. He was so handsome.

Of course the token group photo, such a lovely group of trick our treaters !!!

I'm Back Today

Yes that's right, for today I am back. I have actually missed this little blog but truthfully haven't had a lot of time or desire to sit down to it just now. Oh also I haven't been taking a lot of pictures lately.

Anyway here are some of my friend M, whom is kind of like my vicarious child, when I need a baby fix I just find a way to get around him and then I'm all set.

He loved that cupcake, although I am positive that's not the first one that he has had. Happy Birthday M and mom too. 

Christmas Mini Sessions

This is the first time I have ever done Holiday mini sessions, and it might be the last. There was a huge learning curve this year and I'm pretty sure I'm not finished yet. Anyway this by far is not the best picture for a card but I truly love it. One of the best looking little boys I know. As for the neg;act of the blog, well life has gotten in the way. I'm not ready to call it quits but I am ready to slow down and if that means backing off here then that's what I'll do. So much more to come soon. 

Look who's in the house.....

Crazies !!! Our choice of Halloween costumes ranges from traditional to the kind of odd man out. These aren't all the costumes but the 2 that have already been delivered.

As I post this I'm hearing from the kitchen them talk about bad words and Tyler saying bad words like "oh my shits" .  It's me, all me, proud parenting moment . 

Angel, maybe and I just don't know it yet??? I'll listen harder. Next visit will be by a retro cartoon character, you'll never guess. 

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

I'm pulling from the archives, cause this week that's the kind of girl I am. Check out the other entries over at Ramblings & Photos, I'm always excited to see other interpretations.

Low Key :

Monochromatic/Analogous Color :

Circle :

Scarf : This is the first newborn session I ever did, I still love these pictures just exactly like I left them at the time.

Phone : I took this with my phone, no need to comment on how cute this baby is I've already oogled over her for the last 2 days!

It was great for me to look back at some old pictures and see how far I feel like I have coome and then to realize how far I still have to go. Check out the other entries at Ramblings & Photos.
