My Handsome Hubby in the City

When your wife is a photographer,  it is not unusual to get pulled in to an alley way and asked to pose for a portrait.  Good thing I married a man who is not in the least bit camera shy!

Kindergarten Read-A-Thon

Indy had a read-a-thon in his kindergarten class.  We all went and brought our favorite books to read.  He was really excited to get to wear his pajamas to school.

Beauty Doesn’t Do Morning’s

My daughter shares my feelings about mornings, it’s not our thing.

I shot this today, on Mother’s day as she crawled into my bed.

And why was my camera by my bedside you might ask….

My kid’s/Hubby got me a battery grip for my mother’s day gift. There will be no more straining to take vertical pics with my arm awkwardly contorted over my head.  The battery grip has a additional shutter release button and control wheels on the side, so it is easier to access when in the portrait position.  They can never wait to give gifts, they love to do it the minute they wake me up!

Honestly, I love it too :)

My Mom

It was nice to have a chance to spend time with her as my Mom and not have to share her as Nana. Pictures of her at the beach always seem to be my favorite, she looks so at home :)

Hubby Mexico Style

I just wish he was always this relaxed . We were sitting out on our balcony in Mexico taking in the tropical scenery for a last time before we were to leave.

Handsome isn’t he?  I’m a lucky woman :)

Classic TFM (my dad)

This is such a classic look for my dad.  I love it when he wears hats.


I had fun buzzing around the island with him.  It’s been a LONG time since I was his backseat passenger on a family vacation!

One of Indy’s favorite things to do is go to the skate-park.  They built one a few miles from our home and he and his friends make plans to go there after school all the time.

I don’t really mind as long as the weather is nice and this time it was awesome.

I took along my camera.  The sun was bright as it was midday, but I didn’t want to embarrass him too much by breaking out my reflector to bounce more light into the shadows.  These are skate-park pics after all.  Maybe I’ll try get him to go in the early morning sometime when the light is better and most skateboarders are still sleeping!

 

Library Card

February 22nd, 2009

library card

Today my son got his first library card.  He is in kindergarten and told me his favorite thing to do at school is to go to the library.

We have been to our community library many times lately.  I have been checking him out some books on my card , but I thought since he was so very into the library I would let him get a card with his name on it.   It was a hit. He promptly checked out 5 books and a movie.
