Two flowers, one shadow...

This photo was taken at the deYoung museum last week. There was a flower arrangement exhibit and ladies wearing big hats, fun stuff! This caught my eye.

I had the opportunity to create some photos for an anniversary party over the weekend. These are the grandchildren of the celebratees (!) and the challenge was to get them all in one spot, take the photos, print them and have them back (the same day) so that the photos could be put up collage style before the party started. Needless to say, I am thankful that Walgreens has 1 hour photo and do such a great job! You might recognize Ms. Orion from a few weeks back.. I love how she is looking down at her toes. So cute!

I guess it would have been more in tune with the upcoming holiday to have something more green-- more irish-y, but as my way, I am not much of a planner when it comes to art. It is what it is and what this is is my 4 year old son playing with toy guns all for the sake of this photo shoot. I have never allowed my other older boys to play with anything that even resembled a weapon, but my viewpoint has changed over the years and I have lapsed with this rule, much to my other boys dismay. Adam had no problem picking up the weapons and going "bad guy" on me. He shot me ruthlessly and then locked me up in the pokey.. (Don't worry, I escaped and disarmed him--the guns are hidden away until next time)..

Looking Back

People walk on by, paying me no mind. This little boy saw me with my camera and stopped to look back. Just one moment caught in time.

Orion is 1!!

This is Orion and she just had her first birthday. It was so much fun taking photos of her in her beautiful party dress. She is just learning how to walk so it was a challenge to get her to stay put, luckily her mom knows many songs to sing to her to keep her still. This is one of my favorites, though, as it seems like the perfect pose for this grand dress.
