Giddy Up Horsey…

July 28, 2010

A couple of days ago my Daughter asked me to come up to her house (about an hr away) to shoot some pictures of my Grandson…it’s been a few months since I’ve done some of him and he’s growing so quickly she wanted more done. Mainly for family and friends to have some that dont already, not to mention he needed shots of just him done as well. So, off I went and arrived to a happy little Man wanting me to hold him constantly. It’s always heartwarming when your Grandson is happy to see you and sticks to you like glue.

We set up the studio and got the props together and one of those props was a rocking horse, this was the first time he’s been on it although it sits in his room all the time. He loved that thing and wasnt very happy when  he had to get off of it :) So, here’s a few shots from the session that I rightly named “Giddy Up Horsey”

Hideaway…

May 10, 2010

In our backyard sits a wooden train, it sits alone sometimes in it’s solem exsistence, but most of the time this train has company. Children of all ages climb and jump on it, crawl through it and ring it’s bell. It’s part of many adventures in the imaginary world of my children’s minds! My boys love the train and are frequent visitors to it’s home in the yard and while the boys and the train are usually off on one of the many trips they take, sometimes it become a still and quiet place for them. A place to just hide away, think, daydream…a place to just be and enjoy the quiet times of being a child.

Front Yard Funnies…

April 27, 2010

This afternoon my oldest Daughter came over to visit and brought with her my sweet Grandson August! He’s such a character and so funny at times it’s really a treat to just watch him. He was in a great mood today so what did his Nana do??? She took him outside in the front yard for some camera time!

This little boy loves the camera, and I guess rightly so considering he’s been in front of one most of his life. If it isnt me with a camera zeroed in on him, it’s his Mom. He was so funny to watch in the grass, he was so amazed by it. I think his favorite discovery today however were the stray leaves left in the yard from our last mowing, to say he was captivated by them would probably be an understatement.

Here’s a few shots from our adventure in the front yard today…I look at these pictures and can do nothing but smile…he is such a sweet little man, and a wonderful subject to capture!

Sunday’s Backyard Play…

April 27, 2010

It had been so long since I’ve taken pictures of my boys, so with camera in hand out the door we went to the backyard. My boys are always so energetic and free spirited, it’s really hard not to want to take a picture of everything they do! Yesterday was pretty warm with the threat of a thunderstorm off and on, but the sun was still shinning through the clouds down on their sweet faces.

I have found more and more these days that I would rather spend time with my children more than any other thing in the world. I love my life and those within it. Blessed is not a big enough word to express the feelings I have within my heart for these people I call my family. Watching them was so much fun, shooting pictures of their play was and is a honor to me. I’m just thankful I can capture these precious and timeless moments within my camera and most of all my heart!
