Here he is, my baby. Still a great practice subject because he can’t get away and has not learned to make funny faces in front of the camera.

Look at that smile, and those blue eyes. I could just squeeze him and kiss him all day long.

I love this picture of him. He was sitting in the playhouse and the light was just shining through so beautifully. He always has such a thoughtful look that I was so happy to capture.

I know if I look back through enough photographs, I will find hundreds of pictures of Eli and Zoe just like this on the beach.

Here she is, my little girl, the middle child, the princess of the house. I didn’t realize it until I started looking through pictures to find my favorites that I have the most pictures of her. I am not sure why it is, maybe it is because she has so many expressions and moods and faces that I try to capture.

This is definitly up there as one of my all time favorite pictures of Zoe. The fez that she insisted on getting and the smile I caught during a Zoe and Eli giggle fest. I have to get this one blown up big to hang on our walls.

This captures such a nice memory of one of our rituals we have been doing since Eli has been a baby. Heading to the bakery then the beach on the weekend. Zoe eating her chocolate muffin asking mommy for some of her coffee.

I like to call this one goofy Zoe..enough said.

A girl and her tutu. I’ll be honest, I bought this skirt mainly for the purpose of taking pictures of Zoe in it. When her mood is right, I have her put on the skirt and snap away. Her beauty amazes me sometimes.

This is the “I don’t really want to let you take a picture mommy, but I will do it because you promised me candy when you are done” face.

Here he is, my first baby, growing up much too quickly. He is such a smart and sensitive little boy. He is happy to let me practice on him and most of the time gives me a nice face that shows his true personality.

I think this is Todds favorite picture of all time. Eli had a performance at school and was wearing this goofy hat in a way that made him look like a pimp. I did not expect to get many good pictures with bad lighting and a room full of kids and parents. I was so happy when I saw what I had captured here.

Eli looks like he is at least 10 in this picture. I love the scraped knee and dirty fingernails, it’s who he is..all boy.

I love everything about this picture, the sparkle in his eye, the missing teeth and especially my grandmas hands on his face. Such a beautiful way to show Eli with his Great Grandma and the difference in years between them.

I just love this picture, not sure what it is, but it makes me happy and that is what is important.
