May 3 - Mother's Luncheon
Today was a very special treat; Danny's preschool had a Mother's Day luncheon for the Mom's and their children. The most perfect part was when I walked into the preschool room, Danny walked up with a card and a flower. He was all smiles when he walked up and even held my hand as we walked into the auditorium.
It was a very nice luncheon with crackers, bagels, muffins, juice (notice someone's mustache) and pound cake. The best was the smiles, little conversations with the kids, giggles and getting to sit and chat with the other moms. I was so glad that I was able to be part of this special day, but do wish I had the right lens on my camera ugh!
May 1 - EPAA TBall Opening Day!
EPAA Little League Opening Day was on May 1st and the T-Ball kids get to the play on the big field! My little guy loves it and this is his second year of playing. He was a little shy at first, that lasted thirty seconds.
My favorite picture of the night was the one where Danny was on third and my husband and his great big grin where in the background. I love taking these photos and wish I had this camera when my older two were little to create little collages and document thier lives.
I hope when he gets older he looks back and enjoys having a mother who was a photographer!
April 28 - Final Communion Portraits
I took my final First Communion portraits for 2013 on Sunday at Lake Katherine in Palos Heights. This is my favorite out of all the photos I captured on Sunday. There are some gorgeous photos from this day, but for some reason I really liked this one.
This adorable girl just happened to choose her own posing by the lake and she did a fantastic job. It showed her dress, her hair, the innocence and the slight reflection in the water of the trees. This is a photo that was meant to be black and white.
When I take a child's photo I hope that the parents see a photo I have taken and it immediately brings a smile to their face and cannot wait to share with their friends and family. I am pretty positive I accomplished just that on Sunday.
April 27 - Knocked Out!
Saturday was a gorgeous day and we had a First Communion party to go to and could not ask for better weather. My two littlest people had a blast at this party, outside getting filthy and running around non-stop for about 4 hours. The two littlest guys drank juice, ate Cheetos and had a blast playing and running with all the other kids.
We got home and within 5 minutes, this is how my littlest guy fell asleep sitting up. How precious is this and amazing to be honest. He does not fall asleep easily at all, but missing that power nap really hit him hard.
April 24 - Electromagnetic Radiation
I have been in a photo slump and looking forward to the warmer weather and photo sessions I have this weekend! I need something to get me excited again as I was not interested in taking photos the last few days...10 to be exact.
Then I was walking by my son's room and saw this beautiful sunlight coming through the window. I immediately thought I need to get try and capture this. I like the angle and love it in black and white! One small ray of light gave me the spark I needed.
