The Adventures of Dean...again

7/23/2013

0 Comments

 
So for the past week and half my husband has been in Africa hunting and boy does he owe me when he returns...anyways, the boys chose this time to mature by about a year.  I wake up this morning and they have already helped themselves to the fridge and it looks like Dean had chocolate pudding for breakfast.  Mind you I have TWO childproof "locks" on the fridge...oh well, that's out the window.  They also learned all of a sudden how to climb on the counter tops and put things in the microwave, thank goodness they don't know how to turn it on yet. What else have they learned? oh yes! the volume on their sound machine and every morning I'm greeted with the ocean and sea gulls in my ear every morning...at 5 a.m.
Here are some pics of this mornings breakfast, mind you, I'm not helping the situation when I take pictures of it all...he knows what's going on, I tried not to smile.

Seniors! Summer time is a great time for your Senior Portraits!

School Starts and then time flies by so fast and it's already winter! I think the best time of year for your portraits is the summer time! You still have a great tan or for me, more freckles and you are able to wear your shorts, show off your toes or you guys, you could even go shirtless (if that's your thing).  The late summer nights have the best and most flattering light, the grass is green, the flowers are in bloom, all in all it's a gorgeous time of year.
Below are some of summer sessions I had in the past,   How

The best part of slow season is the extra time I get to take pictures of the boys just being...well, boys.
Here are some images I took all in the matter of 3 minutes. We go from happy to be sitting next to each other to trying to push one out of the chair to then hugging on each other.  Oh geez, this is really my life in  few pictures...emotion for the moment, sitting next to me as I type this.  In fact, I'll let them contribute a little in their own words, here ya go...

 Dean:   y8gjihlo\hh,.tgn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Tred:                                                   mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


Happy Monday All!

My sweet & curious Dean

7/7/2013

Over the past few weeks I have been taking more pictures of my "babies" and in each I see just how much they are turning into little boys, definitely not babies anymore. They enjoy flashlights, bugs (stepping on them), wrestling with each other, mud, sweets and pretty much just making messes wherever they go...they remind me of Pig Pen from Charlie Brown.  Constantly dirty.
The images below are a series of Dean, my oldest by one minute.  He is my helper, my momma's boy, my very sensitive one and my ever so defiant one...oh man is he defiant.  He is also my son and just to say that is bringing tears to my eyes (wonder why he's so sensitive? ha) .  He is my fit thrower, mess maker, screamer but yet my cuddler, my puppy dogged eye heart of gold child.  Dean,  I hope I guide you on the right path and that your someday memories of childhood are happy ones, I love you more than you will ever know.
 
Images below were taken at night and I thought it was only appropriate to include the B&W "mood" to the images.

Gorgeous weather for a family session!

Met the Parks at Loose Park last Sunday for what turned out to be a great session.  Kathy and Kyle along with Taylor & Brady, whom we will call Mr. Busy Pants. We all had fun in the shade watching the kids run around and every now and then stop for a family portrait...Brady with is gorgeous deep set brown eyes maybe looked at the camera 5 times but none the less, I have lots of pictures of the top of his beautiful blond head.  Taylor was a sweetheart and cooperated quite well, I got lots of pictures of her cute face.  Here are a few from the session that I am working on and every day I'm working on a few more.  Have a great 4th of July everyone...be safe!
