A New Blog For Natural Light Photography!

20 Jan 2012

Yay! Finally!
We (Jim, Cole, Kiera, Mark and I) are making a fresh start in 2012.
It’s a new photography blog that will continue to get even brighter and shinier over the next week as we mold it into proper shape. I hope to have lots of good photography over there, so check in often! So much to do, so little time!

(Two blogs to run? Oh My!)

The Wild Parrots Are Back

17 Jan 2012

Every time I get mad that the neighbor is feeding the birds, I soften up a bit when I see the parrots visiting. It’s been 20 degrees at night.

The usual little birdies were irritated, and waited impatiently nearby:

The pair look out for each other while they eat.

This is the tree they hang out in (it’s dying, but they don’t mind). Check out the dude – he’s communicating with me, but I don’t know what he’s saying.

Fakey Smile

16 Jan 2012

Sigh. Do all kids have to learn the fakey smile? Why?

Remember this hat? Flashback!
it’s a hand-me-down from Ava.

While I’m on the subject: This hat is probably the last thing I have of Ava’s that fits Lucy.
We’ve really enjoyed the re-wearing of Ava’s clothes. Oscar has compared photos, and it’s been a great way to feel the connection to his other sister. Hopefully Lucy can see the pics when she’s older and feel it too.

PS. The beautiful red shirt on Lucy is from Kristi.. – Don’t you wish You had such an awesome personal shopper?
