I had the extreme pleasure of being a part of this family's celebration! The parents were having their 40th wedding anniversary celebration and wanted a large family photo as part of the festivities. They were so wonderful to work with. One of the family photos we did on a pitchers mound. The daughter and grand-daughter are softball pitchers, so it was a very appropriate setting. It was a great day for shooting and I was very excited about how these turned out. Enjoy!

I saw all these lilacs blooming in our backyard and it just made me happy. They are our neighbors bushes that boarder our yard on one side and I just LOVE the purple blossoms. I hope you enjoy as well. (Too bad I can't put scent on the internet!)

And, just for the challenge it presented... I did the following.
Last Friday afternoon I had the pleasure of joining a friend and her sister-in-law and their kids in a backyard photo shoot. It was so perfect out for getting some great photos. I love spring time with the green grass. There is no other green like it in the world. I love the bare feet as well. Just so casual and fun. I had a hard time picking some of my favorites, so I ended up with quite a few. They all turned out so well. Enjoy!

Check out these blue eyes! WOW!
I went and watched my little one play some baseball last night and had fun. It is so fun to watch them play a "grown-up" game. They did get some outs, though, and all seemed to have fun. It cracked me up when they put my little guy in full catchers gear. He did not walk up to the plate, he did a stiff-legged-tin-man type walk. It was hilarious!
The moon was also coming out as the game was going on and, of course, I had to photograph it! I actually have a couple of photo sessions coming up this weekend, so I will be able to post photos from that soon!

I never used to be much of a baseball fan. In fact, I used to find it very mundane. However, having three guys in my house who have a passion for the sport may have something to do with it. Seeing baseball through the eyes of a young child has given me a glimpse into the fascination with the sport. The power they feel when they really hit the ball and watch it go sailing. The anticipation as they run to first (or second, or third) and wonder will they make it? Will they be out? The gratification of high fives, or good games, or we'll get 'em next times... It all seems to make sense somehow. How the sport can hold such passion and awe. They have found their thrill for the day and can't wait for the next time to come.
As for me, I am just amused how small they are still. And when then put on those hats that are just a little too big for their heads, their ears stick slightly outward giving them an impish look. The wonder and joy is all there in their eyes. I don't know if I enjoy watching them play, or watching them watch the major league players play more, or if I have truly become a fan of the sport. Either way, baseball season rocks! PLAY BALL!
