8 Candles

Happy Birthday to my sweet, sensitive, caring Sophia who has the most infectious laugh.

I can't believe there will be ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ on the cake to blow out today.

Since it's normally Baby Mondays I have to slip in a photo from her first day of life , it sure doesn't feel like eight years and I guess it's normal that being a Mom I will always see them as my babies.

Space Command

Don't you just love this old school Zenith Space Command sitting alongside the newspaper boxes I could just see myself pulling up a beanbag to watch Silver Spoons better yet it was the perfect opportunity to make a really cool photo with my subject reflected in the TV. I wonder if the space phone feature still works on it… can you hear me , major Tom?

Baby Mondays: Tool Time

I loved watching how these adorable 6 week old twins seem to communicated with each other. The little boy would comfort his sister reaching for her when she cried touching her face and trying to give a hug like a good brothers do. Mom and dad are two very lucky people to have twins so sweet and calm and sleep at the same time! Wouldn't we all love to be born with our best friend right there next to us.

Happy weekend!!!

Sisters

Round and Round they GO!

(Aidan @ 9 months)

Nothings better than coming across old photos of the kids you thought were lost especially since I happen to things I love my kids and this carousel. Every year we visit the Herschell Carousel Museum and the kids ride the kiddie carousel (no adults allowed) it's a 1940's aluminum carousel all the horses are pint size and it goes around slower than one can walk. 5 years ago I took this series of images as my kids rode around and around as some stranger  kindly held up my son on his horse (he wasn't even a year). Oh yea another fun part is when the kids run around trying to find their horse's name on the back of the saddles. I can't wait to blown this up big and hang it on our wall and we'll need to go back soon and shoot another series with Little E in there. if you ever go be sure to ride the 1916 adult carousel It rotates at approximately 6.5 revolutions per minute and if you don't know much about carousels that means it practically whips you off the ride if you don't vomit first.

Baby Mondays: baby lettuce

Twins! I had double the fun photographing these adorable babies, they were so good the only difficult part was of the shoot seemed to be stacking the dozen or so heads of lettuce around them as they slept. Now can you guess which one is the boy and which is the girl? 

Want one? two?? or even three???
