And boy, did he!!! This kid barely let me grab the camera before he had a foot stuck in it! This was definitely one of the funnest shoots I have gotten to do with him. It was just such a great time, watching while he went crazy with the cake. He was hitting it, and clapping, and shaking his hands. Then for the eating, he made sure to get as many cake-coated fingers all the way inserted in his mouth in order to get ALL that goodie! LOL, what a cutie! I really can hardly wait for the next milestone photo shoot. What a joy!
And yes, I am SERIOUSLY behind on posting sessions. Ay ay ay!!!! Between my photography and design biz, plus all the family details, wow, life can sure get tangled. But thank God that He is here to direct my path, to clear a way for me that is straight and even, and to tend to my heart in the last detail. He makes every day a joy to live in. And I’m so glad to get to share some of that with you. Be blessed!

New Year, New Blog
Wow! 2010 was a big year, full of change and growth for me. I can hardly wait to see where 2011 is going to take me! For now, it has taken me out of my comfy Blogger blog, and dropped me in the lap of WordPress. For the most part, I made the move to enjoy larger images sizes and a bit more liberal format. Let’s hope I can make the most of it! As a half-wit blogger, I may be asking too much of myself. We shall see.
I’ve made a commitment to photograph one portrait per day. To really reach for creativity when I’m behind the lens. Because great photography is so much more than putting together the right combination of aperture, shutter speed and ISO. It’s more than the rule of 3rds, and the Golden Section. For me, right now, it’s about catching something extraordinary in the ordinary. Finding something magical in an everyday moment.
Today’s photo does this, I think. It is not perfectly composed. It was a very brief capture, and the little guy was ready to move on. But I feel that even the hand blur really honors the motion of the moment and maybe even adds something right to the enthusiasm I was trying to catch as he was banging on the tub.
I would love to see the family/newborn/children portraits you are working on, especially if you are doing a 365 project. So, please feel free to post a comment, along with your blog or flickr! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
