Valentine's Day Kids

I think one of the best things I have done in awhile is to put the business side of photography on the back burner and just do what I want to make. Also I realized I wasn't photographing my own kids like I wanted to. So I love getting film back of these sweet faces just loving being outside.

Going with the Grain

Is the look of film for everyone? no..is it for me...Heck Yes!! I love it. When I put my camera up to my eye the world goes quiet. I don't hear.. I only see what is in that little box. There is a story that is right in front of me, playing out frame by frame. When I shoot film I have to be so aware and focused. Some may think it is crazy this day and age to shoot film. Digital cameras are amazing. But I can't get enough of film. I like the imperfect moments and the surprises with film. It seems more real and classic.

Far away family

It is tough living far from some of your family. My sister has been living overseas for the past few years and now is back living in South Carolina..but it still seems a world away. She was here to visit for just a few days and brought my super cute and sweet niece.

Baby love

There is nothing better than little play times with your kids on quiet mornings. I have three kids and I don't always get one on one time with them so when I do I take advantage. We had a bunch of balloons left over from my mom's surprise party. Balloons are the best! They kept all the kids busy for hours and are still days after keeping my kids busy.

They grow too fast

It is amazing that mile stones we capture of babies (maternity, newborn, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, and one year!)... well..all of these are super important as they so quickly change and grow and do new things. It is really cool how they go from a little bundle only able to eat, sleep, and pop to climbing stairs, laughing, and talking. I hope that that parents keep on capturing the mile stones of their kids' lives. The first time they have an ice cream cone, the first time they dance, the first time they dress up, the first time they get into mom's make up and shoes or wear one of dad's boots. I love those images most of my kids. Ones that will never win a prize or being held up as the perfect example of anything to anyone else but me. This is my niece. She is really one of the cutest babies I have ever seen. She even has an adorable little laugh. I can't wait to see all of her future "firsts!" Until then.. Happy first Birthday, Sophia!
