My new Christmas Present!

For Christmas I got a fun new studio setup!  A stand, some seamless paper, a light stand and an umbrella. It came yesterday as I was walking out the door for a party - today I was home with three wild and crazy kids getting ready for a dinner party - but there was a 20 minute window where I got it set up and was able to get a few pictures of my girls :)  I can't wait to play some more!!!







It was funny - my middle child wanted NOTHING to do with this - she kept saying - I want to watch Backyardigans.  And my oldest kept saying - can I see the pictures now.  I think I got a few good ones though :)

Two years later

I took the little ones to the library because I was off from work.  Mikey was insane - but it was fun. Lately I have been trying to re-catalog all my pictures from over the years - So I was going through 2008, and I stumbled upon pictures that were taken December 23rd, 2008.  What a difference two years makes!

Here is my Hayden!

And my little man - wow!

I can't believe this was two years ago!

Poor Baby

My little man got scratched in the eye today :( pretty bad too.  I love that he is able to rat on the kids that do it - it makes me laugh.  Because of that - I found out he is a rat!  They said that if a kid does something to another kid - he runs and says "So and So did it".

Look at those teary eyes.  He kept saying Owie - Kiss it.  I love that boy.

So - after having to load and unload the kids because the prescription wasn't ready - and we had to go back, knowing it's going to be a pricey ordeal - I needed this.  I processed them all with Florabella - I put the action underneath the picture.  They were all taken with my 35mm, 100 ISO, 1/4 SS, f/2.0 on a tri-pod.

Vintage Chocolate 

I couldn't decide which one I liked more - so I kept them all.

Because I want to remember

Today I am posting because it's days like this I want to remember.

I want to remember Mikey's love for his train set. Where he could spend all his free time taking trains and cars to the track. 

Ahhh - My middle child - Hay - need I say more - this picture pretty well describes her!

I love this one.  Our shake n' go cars, next to our Little People Baby Jesus and Mother Mary.  I love the expression and processing of this image.

The sweet innocence that still surrounds my oldest.

Them wanting to take pictures like Mommy. 

That instant gratification of the picture on the back of the screen.

I hope they continue their love of photography!
