First it was the craziness of the family photographer season… then it was knee surgery, then it was the holiday season, then fighting sickness in the house. It is finally behind me. It was a total whirlwind of a three months, but in between it all, filling the gaps between craziness and change has been beautiful trips to the beach, getting spoiled rotten by my family by milking my injury, and taking time for myself. As a mom, I hardly allow myself that luxury, but with surgery you almost have to. It was glorious! My two boys pampered me, and I am so thankful for them both.
So, to catch up from November, here is a sweet family that cannot take a bad picture to save their life. Each one of them is GORGEOUS! Look at those big brown eyes and mopping curls. We went to the Mission at San Juan, and off to the park for a few fun shots in their giant bubble. When you ask yourself why you don’t see sit and spins as much anymore, just watch a kid in this thing. It’s like when you thought the iphone was amazing and couldn’t imagine it getting any better, and now you have that 4GS with talking help and HD video calls, and realize how good it can get. I just wish I fit in that thing.
Nothing can top the sweet smell and gentle goodness of a newborn. These huge sweet eyes did their best to stay awake and play, but eventually fell asleep. The sleepiness of a full tummy, and cozy swaddle overcame the excitement of a strange lady visiting…. and we were lucky enough to get those precious sleepy photos too. I loved the way this baby seemed to take in everything going on around him with such calmness. And those big gorgeous eyes!!! Nothing tops that precious session of a newborn. Lucky me.
Doing my best here to keep up on recent families, but just as I blog one family, I realize even more how far behind I really am in blogging. I will catch up sometime in February at this rate. Here is a recent love of mine. I bond rather quickly with energetic and playful children. We have fun together. Here is just another two of my favorite kids of all time. So playful, so energetic, so difficult to get to sit still. But that is what a bosh image is all about, the playful and fun loving spirit of being an active child.
You know that feeling where you have so much to do, that you don’t know where to start? This happens to my desk, laundry, emails, and now blogging. There is so much to share over these past few months, and I don’t really know where to start. So just like any of those other tasks where I would start with one load or answer one email first, I will blog one family today! After all, the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
I get confident in my ability to photograph a child when I know it will not only be a six-year old, but even better yet, a six-year old boy. C.J. has taught me all I need to know in this subject matter.
Children are pretty unpredictable. You can have a happy toddler at 4:00, and a screaming cranky one at 4:02. You can also usually turn that right back around in your favor a few minutes later. You really just need the right formula. Ready for it? Grab your pen. It super simple, and the mama of these two sweet girls taught it to me on this session.
A parking lot under the roaring sound of planes landing at the airport was the back drop for this photo shoot. It’s a family favorite location for this family, and it turned out to be a fun filled session of four giggling kids, and the small chance that six over sized balloons might allow one of them the opportunity to fly.
Not a lot of words today. Lucky enough to get this post up while my son watches inappropriate cartoons in the next room. (totally kidding…sort of) School starts next week, and although I will miss the long beach days, outings with friends, and lazy sleeping in days, I am most looking forward to my quiet time. That quiet time that I use to work, read, clean a desk, or answer an email without losing my train of thought ten times before I hit send. And then I will go on missing those summer days all over again. Its a funny cycle!
