My littlest guy is getting more and more personality every day. He’s a mellow, giggly little kid. He’s the most laid back of the three little kiddos who call me “mom.” He’s big on hugs and is the first to comfort someone if they’re upset.
Lately, though he’s figured out that he has a voice. He has finally caught on to his big brothers antics and screams at him if he tries to take his toys. It’s pretty comical actually. He gives mom attitude sometimes, but for the most part he’s pretty calm.
I wuvs him.
He picked this flower from the garden and then ran away (thinking it was wrong and I would take it from him). I had to convince him that it was “okay” and he wasn’t in trouble. He’s at that age where he gets into everything and is often told he can’t have the wonderful thing he’s found.
This handsome little man is growing up so fast!! I can’t believe he’s turning two. I went over to their house for a quick session. He’s such a little charmer and has the most sparkly eyes. I did not edit them at all in these photos (I promise).
Here’s a quick preview for his parents to see. Thanks for having me photograph little “J.” He is simply perfect!
look at that incredible smile!
Little Miss M’s mom wanted some photos done for her one year birthday. After finding out she had an older sister, I knew exactly what kind of a session I wanted for them.
A tea party!!
I picked up this tea set a couple of weeks ago and was just waiting for the opportunity to use it. My little boys wouldn’t be too happy if I made them sit at a pink table, so it had to be for a couple of little girls.
It turned out exactly as I imagined. Thank you Mrs. C for having me do your girl’s photos. I had a blast and am very happy with the results!
I submitted a piece of art work for a showing in a gallery and it was accepted!
I am excited to announce that my photo of mine will be on display at the Sixth Street Gallery in Vancouver, WA.
You can see their website here.
The art will go on display on May 1st through May 30th. I know I’m a bit early announcing it, but I wanted to make sure I didn’t forget to share it here on my blog. I’m also not too ashamed to admit that I’m excited about it!
The theme of the show is “Staring Back: Portraiture.” I titled my photo “The Beauty of a Child.” The submission requirements called for you to interpret this theme in any way you’d like. I took it literally and submitted a photo of her staring back. Unlike some artists, I’m not too deep into the meaning of my photos. I do tend to like serious photos versus smiling photos since only some of our emotion is smiling. It’s interesting to me to see serious faces of children since children are often depicted laughing or smiling.
Anyway, enough of that serious business. Here’s the photo…
(and as usual I’m totally biased and think that my baby girl is the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen)
These kids were seriously perfect.
I don’t think I’ve ever photographed kids this well-behaved before. I kept teasing the mom about her amazing kids, but she reassured me that they aren’t always so perfect. I think my kids should learn some behavior skills from them. They are all simply beautiful and get along great with each other.
Thanks to the mom for this wonderful session. It totally made my day!!
look at this handsome little guy… doesn’t he just melt your heart??
and yes, she is as sweet as she looks.
She totally reminds me of my daughter. Very loving towards her siblings and she’s one smart cookie!
these last two are my absolute favorite images from this week.
