My Boys

  • by

These were taken while we waited for India’s cello performance.  The boys were dressed nicely and the sky was threatening rain.  What better time to photograph?  You do know when a storm comes it brings along with it some of the most beautiful clouds.  I always love the contrast between a dark, stormy sky and the warm sunlight near the horizon that often filters through.  We get that sort of beautiful light often in Denver.  I didn’t take advantage of the stormy sky this day, but the light was perfectly soft and bright, making the boys faces open and bright.

Ist Day of School

 

My two kiddos back in school.  The middle child in Kindergarten.  Wow, what a difference my days are.  Now I must keep my littlest occupied and running around so he’s wiped out enough to sleep at night (I haven’t been successful with this yet).  Oh and Ezra is battling a bad attitude.  Every day he thinks he’s had no fun.  It’s especially pronounced now that school is here.  I try to convince him we did have fun, that is makes everyone sad when he complains about what we all enjoyed, that he needs to enjoy the time we have with kids even if they aren’t our best friends.  I hope this is helping him and that he can iron out the kinks of his moodiness.

Virginia- 4th of July

On the beach at Fort Story, just north of Virginia Beach.  Lightning storm approaching.  Crabs scurrying.

The boys and I went for a walk at sunset.  The adventure finally ended when the crabs became just a whisper across the sand… and my exposures went too far under.  Enjoy the digital grain!

On the Farm- Part 2

  • by

Here are some of my favorite images from last week’s shoot.  There are more that I love, but these rise to the top.

We began at the newer farm house, if you are familiar with the Littleton Historic Museum.  Technically we weren’t allowed to photograph near the buildings, but we were quick and only got shooed out of one space.  Even so, we were rewarded with this gorgeous image:

 

The school house was extra special and since it is off the beaten path, there weren’t any visitors disturbed by our presence.

The field with the sheep!  I guess I didn’t choose one with the sheep in the shot.  Oh well, you can check it out in the online gallery.

On the Farm

Yesterday we spent some time at the Littleton Historic Museum, an old historic farm.  The kids explored with a very fun friend, whom they wish to spend more time with.  It’s true Emma, Ezra asked several times why we don’t see you more often.  I photographed Megan while the kids played.  We were all doing our favorite things.  Here’s a little preview:

There is much more to come…
