My friend Amy and I took our kids to the zoo the other day, our husbands were out of town at a retreat. It was good to get out and its always nice to wear the kiddos out. I grabbed a couple of pictures of Amy’s little Sophia on the commodo dragon, she looks so sweet and innocent but let me tell you, Sophia is a little firecracker! That girl has more energy in her pinky than I have in my whole body. I love how these pictures turned out and love the bright pink shirt she’s wearing. I shot these on my canon Elan 7e and the only thing I don’t like about that camera is waiting for the film to be developed. In a society where everything is instant it’s a practiced art waiting for film to be developed and then finding the time to pick it up is another aspect. But these shots were worth the wait. Amy, you’ve got a little heartbreaker on your hands…but a complete cutie with a fire in her like I’ve never seen!

It’s going to be interesting trying to get a picture of both my kids looking at the camera at the same time. I don’t always want pictures of them looking at the camera, but just one once in a while would be nice. I tried to get Naomi to stay still by telling her I needed her to hold my lens cap…that worked for like a second. Obviously Micah is too small to even have a clue as to what I am doing but he looked up a couple of times, just not at the same time as Naomi. Oh well, at least I can get them both in the same frame. Here are some of my attempts at capturing both kids at once.

I can’t get over how much my little guy has already grown. He’s almost two months old and I just don’t want him to grow up any more…although sleeping through the night would be nice
He’s such a great baby and makes my day so much brighter. He loves to sit in his bouncy chair when his sister isn’t around to attack him. He’s a happy baby and pretty content most the time…as long as he is not hungry or doesn’t have a dirty diaper he’s good to go. He has these amazing blue eyes which are hard to capture in photographs right now because he doesn’t open his eyes very wide. We think he’s going to have red hair…his cousin Emily and some great aunts have red hair…but we’ll have to see. Here are a few shots I got of him the other day with my point and shoot camera. Enjoy.

I had the great honor of being able to photograph my sister-in-law and her family. They came to visit us for a week and at the end of the week we squeezed in a quick photo shoot. It’s always fun to photograph family members because you’re already comfortable with each other and you know the people pretty well so that helps with capturing the person rather than just an image. Andrew and Noah did great in front of the camera and I think Andrew could have a career in smiling for the camera. I didn’t capture too many of him looking away or with his eyes closed (not bad for a three year old)! Thanks guys for letting me capture some memories for your family!

This is my adorable little man, Micah. He did a great job posing, I mean sleeping, for the pictures. He’s such a great baby and I can’t imagine my life without him.
