My oldest is in Tucson visiting his grandparents, aunt, and cousin–and my husband is out of town for work. So I have been busy playing with my favorite four year old. We went out of town for the day to get his yearly check-up, played at the splash pad, and relaxed at the park. A few fun photos–I am getting lazy with my personal photos, so these have minimal editing, just a quick adjustment in Lightroom!

Perhaps you can tell by their impish grins that they were not being so sweet? My seven year old left yesterday for a week and a half with his grandparents in Tucson, AZ! He is just in heaven, especially since they brought their puppy up, and he gets to play with her in the car the whole way back. His mom and little brother are a little sad though, so I had the great idea to take a few sibling shots before he left. The boys really didn’t think that was such a fun idea, so we only ended up taken a few snaps. Oh well, I am always happy to have a few new photos of them together–especially ones that mark a momentous occassion–first trip away from home! We miss you already!!




And a more “real” moment from the evening…

This post is part of the 52 week challenge I have joined with other photographers from around the world! After you look at my image, follow the links and see what everyone else has up this week! We are half way through this project, and some of my favorite themes so far have been movement, Memorial Day, and nature.
This week’s theme is tree. Here is my son climbing a tree, the same tree that myself and all my cousins climbed every summer when we would visit our grandparent’s ranch in Wyoming.
Now head on to see what Lynn of Bugsmom Photography in NJ has posted!

This was one of my favorite sessions to date! Having two sisters myself, I was so excited to find out this client had both her sisters visiting her in Colorado… and they wanted to get family photos done. They brought a husband, mom, and their cousin a long–we met at a beautiful place filled with flowers–and had an absolute blast. You can get some fun reactions when you ask one of three sisters to quickly look at their favorite sister–or ask all three of them to climb up in a tree!:)) Thanks sisters and family for being so relaxed, genuine, and fun!

Photographing fellow photographers is always flattering and a little intimidating. I love that we can experiment and talk f/stops and shutter speeds without sounding crazy. Kate and I both have all boys, so we attempted to get some photos of us with our boys–since photographers are notorious for not stepping behind the lens. Well, our five boys had little interest in taking photos when there was so much to explore. So there was more playing than picture taking, but the light was beautifully golden, so the moms were happy too.

This has been a week full of movement! My boys are both signed up for a week long soccer camp, along with some of their best friends. In addition, James finished his last week of baseball, and I am so proud of their team for winning second place in the championship game! Plus, we are trying to squeeze in all the other summertime activities…movies with friends, water fights with neighbors, and a few photo sessions in this gorgeous warm weather.
I had planned to try a few things with a blurry, moving soccer ball at the end of soccer camp…but we got rained out! So I am just going to post a few of the images I took at soccer camp yesterday…
Now see what the talented Lucy, Adelaide Photographer, has posted this week!
