Ian

too fast

He's growing up too fast. 9!! He's in 3rd grade? when did that happen???

sun and fun

I love photos taken in the pool, the water reflecting great light back up all in the kids faces and the water splashes in suspended animation.

a new year, a new picture

One was interested in having it taken , the other was not. before I could change a single setting they where gone inside. I'm glad they want to go to school, but sheesh give a slow poke a break!

Too much clutter.

But I could not help but capture Indiana Jamie off on an adventure with his whip in hand.

gigglebox

Taken in the alley by the Library. One brick wall and one mostly green graffiti covered wall. Serious color casting. I went with Black & White for now, I'll play with fixing the color casts a different day.

my monkey child.

Little gentleman

He just has that look doesn't he? He was wearing boots jeans and a button down shirt, just because.

Little big man

My baby in suit, all grown up looking. Notice the top of his head is missing? Yes, it bugs me too.

Most of these are blurry, because I was trying not to laugh, the lil bugger has taken to leaving his face toward me and looking out the side of his glasses, and no matter what I say the smile has two speeds this mouth closed- semi smile or mouth open- teeth showing- more cheese than Wisconsin kinda smiles. And I don't shoot them constantly... they have no idea what some photographers children put up with.

2nd grade field trip day

My children love field trips, besides the field trip itself, it is the only time they get to ride the bus.

wishes

The boys call these wishes. "Look Mommy I found a wish for you!" I biggest obstacle I face trying to photograph a wish is getting to it before a boy uses it or a dog stomps all over it.

What a Zoo...

Accompanied the Kindergarten class on their field trip to the zoo. Rode the carousel , twice. shot the place up the whole time. I love carousels.

blessings

Ian received first Communion on the 3rd. I did not really get a portrait, we were too far back in the church. (The hired pro, whose camera i was quite envious of, should be sending the real portrait soon.) I do however have this sweet little shot of Ian getting his rosary, made by Nana, blessed by Father Bill.
