Budding Talents – Bay Area Family Photographer

Posted on February 12, 2010

The last couple of Sundays I wrote about my 3 year old and his growing interest in my point and shoot camera. Over the last few weeks he has finally learned to shoot without covering the lens with his finger and even aim at a subject.

A few days ago we went out on a walk around our neighborhood. I let him bring the camera to take pictures of things that interested. I was seriously impressed by some of his photos! I just had to share.

And yes, I made a watermark for him I didn’t want to use my watermark, as I didn’t take the pictures. I added a bug to the mark because Bug is his nickname. The “explosion” pretty much embodies him as a 3 year old. So full of energy!

I am loving sharing my passion with him and am really excited to see if photography is something he sticks with and develops.

Sharing on Sunday ~ Bay Area Family Photographer

Posted on February 7, 2010

~ Last week I wrote about how Grey likes to use my point and shoot to take pictures. It was just recently that he started taking pictures without his fingers over the lens. I put together a little collage of those photos that he took while I was taking pictures of him last week.

~ This week our house has been filled with yucky coughs and goopy noses. Grey was not happy to have to miss school all week and was very sad that he did not get to play with his best friend. By Saturday, he was on the mend but sick again with cabin fever! Our weekend has involved taking it easy but we did take a jaunt to the park to let the kiddo burn of some steam.

~ A typical morning. playing drums, playing with playdough. Playing in “the yellow room”, the happiest room in our house.

~ I’ve always taken pictures of my own kiddo, of course! But lately, taking pictures of him have taken on a new meaning for me. As my belly grows and we get closer to welcoming baby girl into our family, it has really hit me what a huge change this is going to be for HIM. And there is part of me that feel so sad for him. I know that gaining a sister is going to be amazing for him, especially in the long run. My own sister means so much to me. But I also know that seeing the positives in the new life will be hard for an almost 4 year old who is used to being the center of his mommy’s world. I lay in bed with him every night, he holds my hand, kisses my nose and tells me over and over that he loves me. I just hope that neither baby girl nor him growing into a little man will make those moments stop. Thinking about what a sweet little boy he is brings me to tears.

Sharing on Sunday ~ Bay Area Family Photographer

Posted on February 1, 2010

I don’t want this blog to go by the wayside when I am on my upcoming hiatus from sessions. I am going to try to do a little more sharing. Get a little more personal. I’ve decided to start a “Sharing on Sunday” post. You’ll learn a little bit more about me and my life. I’ll be sharing personal, non-client photographs. Lets see how many Sundays I can keep this up!

~ Baby girl is more active today than she ever has been before. I think there might be a ninja academy going on inside my body.

~ This morning I watched my Greyson eat a pancake with butter, syrup, and…ketchup! Ewe!!!

~ My husband’s band has given up their studio space. They are currently jamming in the kiddo’s room. It is loud.

~ Greyson enjoyed his first ever lollipop after a candy shoppe themed birthday party last weekend.

~ A constant craving that I have had through out my pregnancy is for cereal. What type of cereal changes each week, but Life is a constant.

~ Greyson loves to grab his guitar and play along when Daddy is playing with friends. He also likes to play with an old point and shoot camera and take pictures, like Mommy.
