Christmas Morning

55/365

I set the camera on a tripod and set the delayed timer that ordered a few days before Christmas (best $35 I've spent in a while for camera accessories!) and allowed my camera to do the work and allowed me to be a part of the Christmas memories.    I highly recommend it!  After the main morning event was done, I took the camera off the tripod and captured up close the kids playing with some of their toys, but hands down I fully recommend the 'main' event be set up on a delayed timer to be a part of the festivities!

A New Baby

49/365

My good friend recently moved to town and doesn't know many people yet, but myself and a mutal friend and I decided to have a mini-shower for her.   I can't throw a party without some sort of theme and so I went with "Bundle Up, Baby"   I'll write more later on my main blog about our fun with more pictures.   It was a fun night celebrating new life and girl time!  :)

Candlelit Dinner

44/365

Our family of four enjoyed ourselves a candlelit (and tree lit) dinner tonight.  No fancy food but still a fancy element - the kids loved to look at the flame and understand how they worked.  It was a fun change of pace to an otherwise standard meal.  :)

Watered Webs

43/365

As it is Friday the 13th it seemed fitting that I would run across a spider web on such a day as this.  This one was quite pretty and so grabbed a cell phone shot of it.  :)

Jump

42/365

On Thursdays we exercise "No Tv Thursdays"  some weeks its challenging, others it honestly abandoned and this mommy will gave.  This week though we had a good day with no tv and lots of play.   There was a lot of imagination throughout the day, we built pirate ships that converted to space ships, we played games and there was a lot of jumping around.  It was a good day to not just turn on the tv because they were "bored"  :)

Christmas Card

38/365

Had the privilege of taking my friend's Christmas Card photos today in the frigid air!  The sweet little one said she didn't want daddy to put her down because her legs were frosty!   So true! Yep 27' and a 6 minute photoshoot, but we got a few shots, including some with her down from daddy's arms.  :)

Twirling

35/365

Mae loves to twirl and so today we decided to twirl to The Nutcracker which was a lot of fun and magical.   I also set up the camera on a delayed timer to test of some perspective shots.   It was fun to capture the memory without having to be super posed and stiff in a picture.

I did a photoshoot for friends of mine who are announcing their first little one that is due in June!  They are first time parents and I couldn't be more excited for them!
