Vampire

I took this with my Canon Rebel and my 35-80mm lens with the semi-fisheye converter attached. At the arcade Karson earned these plastic vampire teeth with his game tickets.

I thought the photo came out nice and creepy.

A day at the beach.

We spent 2 days at the coast, mostly visiting friends,

but we did manage to spend some time at the beach.

This was taken with my Canon 5D and my 50mm lens. .

These were all taken with my Canon Rebel and my 35-80mm lens with a semi fisheye converter attached. The images aren't as clear, but I think they're interesting.

Jayden

This is Jayden, who is almost 4 years old. She is such a sweet little girl.

I love that she's wearing her monkey costume in June.

Logan (10 months)

This is 10-month old Logan. I have to say...this little guy LOVES the camera!

He was SO much fun!

This was not a photo shoot, just a few quick snaps at the cub scout meeting earlier this week.

He was actually laughing at the camera.

He thought it was hilarious that I was taking his photo. .

This one is my favorite!

I love his "mad professor" hair - it looks JUST like my youngest sons did at that age.

3 little monkeys...

...sleeping in the bed?

All-American

My husband has played baseball since he was a little kid. For his birthday this year, his mom gave him the bucket of homerun balls that he'd hit over the years (each labeled by her with the location and date). She was a little sad to give them up so I took this photo for her and had it framed for her birthday so that she can still 'have' the baseballs that she gave away.

Her memories... .

And here is a shot I got from my husbands bucket of practice baseballs (yes he still plays).

I think this one will get framed for my brother in law for his birthday this fall.

He too loves (and plays)baseball.

Giant dandelions!

The kids and I were outside yesterday, just putzing around, when we found these GIANT dandelions! I immediately went inside and grabbed my camera to get some snapshots.

I did not pose him like this. He did it all on his own. LOL!

The last one just wouldn't let go!

These were not easy wishes...they had to blow really hard!

This one is going in my bathroom (to accompany my dandelion mural)

storm clouds

We had a sudden storm last week, which presented itself with some great clouds. Here is a shot I got, from the driveway.

Ashlyn (3 months later)

I photographed newborn Ashlyn at 3 weeks old. I've gotten so many comments about how beautiful she is, I thought I'd do some comparison shots. I just photographed her a few days ago. She is now 3.5 months old and just as adorable as she was back then, but with smiles too!

Liquid Light

AKA, a flashlight. I went outside the other evening and did some flashlight play to come up with these images. It was dusk out, but not dark, like the photos lead you to believe.

I love the moodiness of this. It kind of fits Karson. .

This one cracks me up because it makes his face look so round.
