Giving Kids Cameras

These are some AWESOME pictures that I am so proud of and I wanted to share. They were taken by my 3 year old daughter, using her Fisher Price Kid Touch Digital Camera!!! I love love love looking though all of the pictures she takes. I find it very interesting to see her angle and perspective of the world. I love that she makes pictures of all the important things in her 3 year old world. I soon plan to print a book for her of all of her work. Here's what my little photographer choose to shoot:

Our fridge

Her sit and spin!

Tot toes!!

Her painting mobile

A very artistic shot of two chairs

She clearly put a lot of thought into framing this one!

The important stuff!

I have never seen a better picture of a door knob... EVER!

Her Momma!

Dirty dishes....

Toys....

Buddha from summertime

Give your little one a camera and you might be very surprised at how artistic they can be! (feel free to share them with me, I would love to see their pictures!!)

Welcome Baby Brennan!!!!!

So I'm a little late on posting these pics... trying to do some catching up on the blog!!! We are so happy Baby Brennan was born so we could see his adorable face (and SUPER red hair!!!). We love you and can't wait to watch you grow!!! Congrats Ab, Joe and Liam!

Sweetest Couple EVER!!!

This is going to be one lucky baby!!! Working with Ashli and Chris I could just tell how in love they are with each other and already in love with their little bundle of joy on the way!! I'm so honored to be chosen to document their babie's first year! Can't wait to find out if the little one is a baby boy or baby girl!

"At our best and most fortunate we make pictures because of what stands in front of the camera, to honor what is greater and more interesting than we are. We never accomplish this perfectly, though in return we are given something perfect--a sense of inclusion. Our subject thus redefines us, and is part of the biography by which we want to be known." ~Robert Adams

Baby Hunter!

1st Day of Preschool for my little one...

Sniff, sniff... eyes watering... wiping a tear...

My little lady is growing up way to fast!  Alright, she's only 3 but still time is just flying by.  Here's some pictures and a video from her first day of preschool, she'll be attending three days a week for two and a half hours at a time (just the perfect amount of time for a grocery shopping, errands, exercise or work break!).  

Ava was SOOOOO excited and really had a great time... and her teacher is WONDERFUL (we couldn't be luckier!).

Welcome Baby Hunter

Here's some pictures of my friend Michelle's new son, Hunter.  We had a relaxing shoot that I stole a few baby snuggles out of!!

Remembering Donna Harper

My Mom passed away two years ago this month.  I can't believe it's already been two years. Thought I would share some great pictures I have of her (and yes that IS Mother Teresa, my Mom was THAT cool!)  Her world revolved around me and making my life as great as possible... that seems to be our priority as parents.  Ava was like a ray of sunshine at the end of her life... for her and for the rest of my family (especially me).  When photography as a career wasn't a thought in my mind she told me she thought I'd end up being a children's photographer (because I took thousands of pictures of Ava monthly!)... I guess Mom's know more than we give them credit for.  Love you Mom.
