Opie’s 1st Easter

It was a pretty uneventful Easter, though it was an utterly gorgeous day! Daddy was sick so we pretty much stayed in… but I had to get him out and at least get a few new pictures.

His faces just crack me up sometimes! I love that it looks like he’s taking a self portrait here. Really - he just wanted to put the camera in his mouth.

This is the “Puppy” face.

I puffy heart his little squinty smile!

He’s doing a few new things… pointing is one of them. He points at you… jabbers… waves… then jabbers more… as if you know exactly what he’s saying. He’s also in totally Mommy mode…. doesn’t want me to be out of sight… AT ALL. He’s not walking yet, but almost. Oh yeah - and he doesn’t particularly like having his picture made anymore. It was really tough getting these… I was very, very lucky. I cannot believe he will be a year in less than a month! OMG!

Whoa! My camera pulled double duty this weekend. I think it may need a rest.

Heather, Patrick & Basil (the squirrel)

Meet Heather and Patrick. Heather is one of my oldest friends. I’ve known her since we were 12 years old. I not even gonna do the math on that one! 

 

This is a very interesting session for me. This was my first session that included a pet squirrel. Meet Basil. 

 

This is the reaction I got when Basil decided to climb to the top of my head while I was shooting.

So… it seems I am involved in all that I love with this wedding. Photography AND Design. Check out a few pieces from their wedding stationery system and custom logo.
