Yet more photos...

of Andrew. :-) We met our weekly playgroup at a park because the weather has been so beautiful. So, Andrew and I went a little early to take a few pictures. Check out his new flip flops...

Frog living in my camera

I'm learning lots of new ways to get those great shots of kids looking directly into the camera and not giving that fake smile. Which, with Andrew can be pretty difficult. So, if it works on him it'll work on most other kids.
This day a frog was living in my camera and Andrew was tasked with trying to find him through my lens. Then he made a noise and that got Andrew even more determined. I also tried yelling out silly names and telling jokes. Worked liked a charm. This day I mostly was trying to get the lighting right and keep that camera still. Work in progress...

Yummy treats

Andrew and I made some chocolate dipped pretzel sticks yesterday afternoon. We had lots of sprinkles left over from Valentine's Day so we used those to decorate the sticks. Yummy!

It's been a week...

since I posted anything on this blog. Wow! Well I'll make up for it with more pics of Andrew. ;-) My new camera lens came yesterday and I'm having sooooo much fun playing around with it. I can hardly wait for my model to get home from preschool today. I took these pictures yesterday and a few came out pretty good but I really need to work on camera shake. The new lens is heavy and I've got to figure out how to keep it still so it can focus correctly.

Ready for Spring

It's been in the 70's here and absolutely beautiful outside (besides the wind gusts today and a bit yesterday.) So, Andrew and I did a spring photo shoot playing with his new stuff. He has been asking for an umbrella for awhile now and was so excited when I gave it to him (it's the little
things, right?) He thinks his Triceratops boots are pretty snazzy too.
