At the golf course the other day taking pictures and after we were done me and my son went to the putting green. This image makes me happy on so many levels. My son is happy, the weather was great, he was doing something that he thought was fantastic, and I got to stand there beaming as the proud parent. My husband jokes that if he one day becomes a pro golfer that this shot will be shown as an example of his early beginnings. Perhaps… but for now I will cherish it as a great memory and moment.
Oh my… he’s two. I have a two year old. I can hardly believe it. We were able to spend his actual date of birth as a family – it was simple and wonderful. We offered my son cupcakes and he in his perfect way they quickly ended up on the floor. He is not a fan of cake but we thought we would give it a try any way. So as a family we enjoyed Dum-Dum Lollipops.
The weekend after his birthday we had a wonderful, small party. He was looking oh so dapper and completely understood how to open gifts. Additionally we enjoyed ice cream cones; candle included. It was a special time for my husband and I. We were able to observe our son interacting with all of our family. He made them smile and laugh – pure happiness. It is absolutely amazing to me how a child can influence a group of adults.
Twenty-ten is here. I feel as though 2009 went by too fast but at the same time I met the new year with an excitement and eagerness for the unknown in my path. Last year I started up this photo business and was wonderfully blessed with supportive friends and family. I learned, made mistakes, learned, and made mistakes. It can be a frustrating but wonderful process.
With that… Let’s go twenty-ten! I am excited for multiple reasons. More time for pictures, more time with my son, new moments with family and friends, more business, meeting new people, and the arrival of my husband and I’s second child. Oh boy, oh boy! We’ve got some busy times ahead of us.
Because no post is complete without a little image or two – my son and I enjoyed some jumping on the bed last weekend!
I was completely flattered. My husband and I were invited to a first birthday party for a friends son. We walked into the party and being me I had my camera slung over my shoulder and was asked by our friends to take some pictures to help capture the event. The request was completely flattering and instantly I tried to figure out how I would take pictures and run around after my son. Big thank you to my husband for handling the majority of that duty while at the party. I don’t even know if he got a piece of birthday cake! Luckily I was able to capture some nice moments – moments I hope that their son can look at when he is older and see how many people came to celebrate him on his 1 year milestone.
So I say thank you for asking me; during this holiday season it was a great gift. I hope that everyone receives and appreciates the simple gifts this holiday season. I’ll leave you with a shot of the birthday boy with this post.
We all have holiday traditions and one of my favorites is heading downtown the day after Thanksgiving and wandering around the streets soaking up the people, the decorations, families waiting in line for Santa pictures, and warm cups of hot chocolate. Since my son arrived we have added the parade to this tradition. This last year he loved it – while he slept for the first bit of it once he woke up he was all smiles. So much fun to see his little face light up with excitement. Additionally, we always put up our Christmas tree. It was so much fun this year. Our tree doesn’t have many ornaments along the bottom half because my son continually takes them off and piles them up under the tree. It’s almost become a game we play each and every day! I hope that you and your family have been enjoying the holidays to date. If I could toast everyone with a cup of hot chocolate I would!

So excited to put up the tree! This face makes me wish we could put up a Christmas tree all year round!
