This N That

I gotta admit the summer blues hit me hard this year. I have just been not as motivated to photograph (especially when it comes to my own kids)or blog. There is just something about heat that doesn't agree with me.

This weekend was pretty beautiful though in a not scorching hot kind of way which has me so looking forward to fall.

I thought I would just share some random pictures that haven't made it to the blog in hopes to get me motivated to share more. Let's see if it helps...

A random fishy of my Keats:



and my niece Kiki:



My adorable nephews:




Couldn't get enough of this cutie:



A beautiful family:



My little vampire finally lost some top teeth (making 6 total!)



And one of my favorite shots ever (that isn't of my own child of course)

I Have the Power??

How many people can say they spent their Sunday taking pictures of He-Man figures? I guess that is just one of the many perks of being married to my adorable and sexy husband (James is standing over my shoulder and made me put those things in...not that they aren't true Mr. Modest).

He has a Star Trek blog where he reviews figures and is getting ready to start a He-Man one and asked me to take some pictures.

Toys are such a nice change every once in awhile. They don't move or talk back and let me practice a little off camera flash outside.

I won't post them all but here are a couple of the cooler figures. Any old schoolers out there recognize any of these ( don't worry I didn't either)

Not A Neak!

So we were on the way home from a party and mistakenly let Keats hold his goody bag. I hear some rustling and glance back. He is curled in the corner of his carseat, completely facing the window.

"Keaton what are you doing?!" Startled he throws the bag down but the chocolate is already on his face. "You little sneak!" (laughing the whole time of course) was quickly followed back with and indignant, "I'm not a Neak!!"

Look at this face, it can't be trusted.


So cute but definitely a "Neak"

Goodbye Summer

I have been taking a little break to spend as much time with Blaze as I can before school starts next week. But a couple of people told me I need to update the blog so I found an older picture I never shared. I will be back to full blogging mode next week ( well as much as full is for me)

Keaton really has this thing where he loves his pictures being taken....which results in him charging the camera...which results in throw away shots. There was something about this one that made me want to keep it. Though I am pretty sure I won't print it to hang on my walls I still like it in my own little weird way.



It's the eyes, they get me every time.

I actually liked this in b/w too, it's one of those ones I just couldn't decide.

Say it with me...

Adorable!



Even her serious face was so stinking cute.



This chair has been my favorite photography related purchase this year...and that's saying a lot.


I always love a good kissy face, those are some seriously gorgeous lips!


Have I said before how much I love babies...<3 them!
