A Jumping Bean!
A gymanstics party! What!?  What a fantastic idea!  Our sweet friend turned four today and HAD to have a Jump! party.  She's going to be a blast of a party planner when she grows up, just like her mom!  Both my girls tumbled their hearts out!  A CD with all the pics is coming to you!

Birthday Princess
A longtime friend of mine's beautiful princess daughter turned three and celebrated in royal style.  It was wonderful to get to see her and her family.  Thank you for sharing the day with us (and all the sugar!).  I have a CD of all the pictures for you!

Oh, the candy!

All the way from Australia!
My friends came all the way from Australia to visit!  With a 20 month old and mama's pregnant!  Can you imagine traveling like that!  My eyes are welling just thinking about it.  But, my friend is absolutely amazing and I love her to pieces!  Her little boy is so beautiful!  Thank you for making the trip!

Light Reflected
I bought a foam board.  I tried it, and yes, indeed it reflects light.  I want to try it on one of the kiddos, but holding the camera, the board and entertaining them at the same time seems to present a problem.  Anyone want to be my assistant?  It pays in smiles and thank yous!

Before white board and after...viola!  Let there be light!

J at the park
This kid is so fun!  His mom said, yes!, please take photos of my boy, and I said, yeehaw!!!

This was my first attempt at a collage...I know I didn't do it "right", but I had to put these three pictures together.  This little boy, ran up to his mom with a flower in his hand.  He was so proud and his mom beamed.  It was really really sweet.  Thanks for letting me capture that!

Practice Makes Perfect
I dragged my girls outside just after they woke up to test morning light.  It's too early for any real shoot, but indeed, morning light is nice.

Afternoon at the park
We found a friend at the park.  The sun was setting and created all kinds of lines everywhere.  While it was fun to play with, it was difficult to get a good shot.  Here's two.

El Dia de Muerto
A teacher at my daughter's school made the most beautiful altar honoring her grandparents and kitty for El Dia de Muerto.  It is such a neat tradition and a wonderful way to honor the people we miss.  She has inspired me (and probably lots of other parents) to make one and share it with my girls.  Thank you so much!

OK, so I went overboard with the collage, but it was a new action that I wanted to try out...and I just had to!
