How do boys get so dirty?


It's a good thing they love taking baths with how often they get them! I read a fabulous blog last week that talked about what a great photo opportunity bath time was simply because you have a captive audience (http://www.beyond-snapshots.com/blog/). I decided to give it a try and we all had a blast being silly together. I love having fun with my kids - it makes all the hard things about mommyhood worth it. On a side note, I'm obsessed with a shallow depth of field (where most of the picture is blurry except for the specific thing focused on) which is one of the reasons why I adore this picture...that and I think my kids are simply adorable. Keep watching for next week's photo of the week!

Happy Birthday to You



So Caleb found a new way to eat cake and Luke has been singing Happy Birthday to everyone all week (including his beloved Eeyore who he sleeps with) after going to his cousin's 1 year old birthday party. Both boys were so content to run around and play and were such fun to be with!

They Are the Reason


So here I am blogging - something I swore I had no time for and would absolutely not do. As I've thought about it more, though, I've realized that I need this. In the last few days I've felt challenged as I take pictures knowing I will absolutely be sharing them here. It stretches me to want to be better at photographer simply because I know I will be sharing what I do with you.

This picture was taken a year ago, just days after I received my first digital SLR camera (a Canon Rebel XS). I was tired of taking my kids to the mall department store photography chains to mark their mile stones. I thought for my 30th birthday I'd begin pursuing a new hobby. In the last 12 months I've discovered that I absolutely LOVE photography! I no longer have to wait for a scheduled appointment in hopes of capturing that amazingly adorable look one of my boys gives me! I've begun a new adventure in making memories. This is my journey.
