Play Ball!

It’s that time of year – Fall Ball. Aidan is playing in the 9-10 year old league this year, which is ‘kid pitch.’ Meaning? The games are 1 hour and 45 minutes and they rarely get past 3 innings. Like watching paint dry. Sorry, sweets. ;)

I shot these through the fence…gotta love that Canon focus!

Aylin at 3 Months: A Sneak Peek

This was my 3rd session with this fabulous family, and the first thing we all thought was “We can go out front!!” For our previous two sessions the sun was shining full-force on the front yard and steps, so we moved around the house to the nice open shade. So being able to use the front yard this time? Awesome.

I love Reagan’s little smile here…Such a proud big sister.

And speaking of Reagan, I couldn’t resist a few new shots of her adorable self…

Then we went inside for miss Aylin’s 3 month images. I just love this age – the big bright eyes and all the cute expressions!

Guess who can make her laugh?

As 3 month olds tend to do, she got a bit tired. And Reagan tried to make her feel better. In this shot, she’s “shhhh….ing” her. And yes, it was just as sweet in person as it looks! Favorite? Oh yes.

After this, Aylin went to bed and fell fast asleep. Wait! Did you say a sleeping baby?  Shannon was nice enough to risk waking her up so we could get some shots of her sweet little sleeping baby face. Just look at those little smooshy lips! Sigh…

Shannon, Josh, Reagan and Aylin: Thank you for yet another wonderful session. I can’t wait to see you all in a few months!

on a thursday afternoon…

Ava went for her best ‘biker chick’ look…

Aidan practiced his mad jumprope skills…

And Ava (yet again) showed that her favorite toys are her brother’s hand-me-downs…

Look!!

Mommy bought yet another a new basket yesterday!

She couldn’t resist, though – look at how perfectly I fit in here. I have to say it’s MUCH better than that highchair.

I like it so much, here’s a little ‘cheese.’ Mom’s not a big fan of the cheese.

Happy Tuesday!

Monday Randoms…

• I had a 3rd session on Sunday morning with a family I just adore. Their elder daughter is just a bit older than Ava, so when we were trying to potty train, I asked for their advice (it worked!). Then when I was there this time, Reagan was into baby dolls…so guess what I bought Ava today? And she *loves* it! Thanks yet again, Shannon!!

• I preordered the new Canon 5D Mark ii last week. The video feature intrigues me. Not sure yet how I’ll use it, but we’ll see. I love my 5D so much, I can’t wait to see how awesome this new model is. Once I have it, my current 5D will be my backup, so I’ll be a 100% Canon shooter (my Nikon D200 will go…somewhere…).

• I tried Truvia this week, to try and kick my Splenda habit. The aftertaste is…blech. So Splenda it is!

• Ava and I went to Crate and Barrel this morning so I could get some stemless wine glasses and this very naughty basket jumped on the counter and insisted I buy it. I’m sorry, but I’m a sucker for a great basket to photograph kiddos in. The lady working in the store was VERY patient with me and went into the back to bring out 3 baskets so I could lie on the floor and see which was the most even. Heh. I’m just anal that way. I can’t put a 1 year old in a crooked basket!

• Today is the first day of AUTUMN. Yippee! I just love the fall. Growing up in New York, fall meant back to school and cool weather. After 9 years, the south is starting to beat it out of me, but just the thought of fall still makes me happy.

• I’ve been working on my new website (what?!? huh?!?!). I wanted larger images to show off my wonderful clients, and now I have one. I’ll announce when it’s live and ready. It’s been so much fun going through my client sessions pulling images for the galleries. I can’t believe how my babies have grown!!

• The new TV season starts tonight. THANK GOODNESS. I love the Big Bang Theory. Can’t wait!

• I LOVE these pants.

• And these jeans.

• Vic is building us a new kitchen table. I wanted a trestle, so he’s modeling it after this one from Cost Plus World Market:

He’s making the table and bench, and I’m going to buy some distressed black chairs to go with it. Yum!

And finally, since a post is no good without pictures, here are some recent collages and storyboards. Happy Autumn, everyone!
