Cute Crazy Girl

I tried to do Christmas pictures with my own kids today
And was largely unsuccessful
It's too hard to play Mom and Photographer at the same time
So I took tons of pictures and honestly, the majority of them were junk
Fuzzy, out of place, no one in the right place
Glad these were only for myself because I would have felt so bad if not
And then, tingles because I knew I hit ONE good one
And it was the keeper:

 

Collages

Love this new feature I found on my program
Prearranged photo combinations while you wait :)
Take a look:

Little Peyton

I think this is my favorite one :)

What do new babies think? This is what I think of when I look at this picture.  Look at her holding up her head already!

Hi Momma :)

This picture makes me smile.  You can just see her going: Uh, guys? You know I'm in a basket right? lol...

 

The exhausted ballerina....lol Looks like she was performing and then just fell over asleep LOL...

A sneak peak...

Full post tomorrow but I just had to share:
Isn't my new niece the cutest thing ever????

Lacey's Baby Peyton

I know I say this every time, but these are my  new favorites :)

Holiday Pictures

Irish Painting

I apologize for the absence
I've been sick sick sick for about a month now I guess
Expecting our 3rd baby!
So I haven't really had much interest or energy for photography
But, starting to feel a bit better now
And so the other day, I finally did some still-life stuff for my husband's business
It was mostly for his website:  www.bakersfieldirishpainting.com
These should (in 3-5 business days) replace the stupid cartoon painting graphics you see now
And hopefully look a little better w/the rest of it
We can only hope!

I must say, it's a whole lot easier to do still lifes than two year olds....LOL...
But not near as interesting :)

 

A series...

Little Fish

Reiko Maternity

K, so beautiful....
As a photographer, I think maybe sometimes I look at pictures and go: wow, that's amazing,
but that's not always the one people choose to hang on the wall:
they want records, portraits, I look at it like Art. 
So the first picture here great, love it, love it,
but I love the effect I discovered even better so here are her pictures, with the effect I like :)
(it's my website after all). 
If you don't like the effect, just imagine it normal,
because it exists that way also, just not in this posting :)

This reminds me of a ballerina...or an angel...can't decide which... a ballerina angel :)...but either way, just beautiful...

We did two versions of this because the first ultrasound said her baby was a boy...and then the latest said it was a girl... so just in case... we did a generic one that will work either way :)
