No really, it has been an amazing seven weeks. We are finally getting into a routine and I am finally getting the hang of two + work + personal time, its good.

So since you haven’t seen much of him lately here are 2 of just him and one of him with brother (who is way harder to photography now, haha).

Thanks for looking!

What I love the most about these is that you can see his beautiful blue eyes in these images. I very highly doubt they will stay blue, it is just not a strong enough part of his genetic pool to remain baby blues. For now they are blue and I love them.

And the final image is of the big brother. He is having a hard time adjusting this week. The newness has worn off and baby is here to stay. Our days are all different now and he just isn’t loving it. He still LOVES his baby brother, I think he just wishes we could send him back to the hospital from time to time, poor guy!

So thank you, thank you, thank you Karen for the awesome blanket. It is a blessing to us!!!

Miss J’s mom planned for me to come and meet these three lovely ladies at Sweet Memories in Millbrae this past Monday. We had a fabulous time of ice cream, new candy discovery, worm races (see below) and just general 8 year old mayhem!

Thanks ladies for letting me be your paparazzi for the day, and Miss J. I hope that 8 is the best year of your life so far! Prepare yourself for some more cheese…. thanks for the Sweet Memories.

I told you there were worm races!

“I am the winner!!!!”

And what birthday celebration would be complete without an animated gif? None!

Not just for the heat though, these two peanuts were so full of cuddles and holding them made me 10 times more excited for my own newborn in just a few weeks now! That too makes me melt.

Thanks R. family for inviting me into the first few days of these two guy’s lives. I am so pleased to share this sneak peek with you. I will be in touch soon!

Share some love in the comment box for the new little family. And feel free to use the links below to share this post on facebook or the other sites.

I got to spend a few hours with Mr. Cheeks and his big brother today. I must say I enjoyed seeing a little into my future and imagining that I will be taking pictures of these of my two littlest ones in just a few months! That makes me smile.

Thanks P. family for inviting me into your world. Your two boys are special blessings and I am excited for our sessions through the rest of baby’s first year!

Yesterday baby N. wouldn’t sleep for me. Despite all of my best attempts he was wide awake. And really it was wonderful. He was a great baby and his being wide awake let me get some images I haven’t gotten before. I loved it.

He is gorgeous! I love his hair and his alert eyes. He has this beautiful olive complexion that looks like he has a great summer tan. I wanted to just snuggle with him all day!

Thanks K. Family for letting me be a part of N. first few days. Here is your sneak peek, I will be in touch soon.

Love the expression in this picture! Isn’t he a doll?

As always I would love for you to leave a comment for the beautiful new family or for me. Thanks!!

Then the years go by and we got these fancy digital cameras with screens and live-view. And we all migrated quickly to digital-land. I mean, why not? For reals, there are some awesome qualities to digital photography. The instant gratification, the ability to shoot what-ever-the-heck-you-want-as-much-as-you-want and only keep the keepers. Digital is amazing.

But film is phenomenal. Film is beautiful. Film is classic. And my love affair with photography started with film. All those years ago in high school, film was it. Our old Pentax manual film SLR’s were rockin. I loved the creative control that I had with my film camera and the developing process.

Yesterday I pulled out the old trusty Canon TX and my 50mm 1.8 FD lens. I stopped by Target and got some film (yes, some stores do still sell film!!!). Wandered with Sawyer to a quaint little park and snapped some images. I took that roll to Costco (fancy, right?!?) and waiting an hour for them to process. Then I uploaded them from the disk to my computer and did a little photoshop magic on them. And there they are for you.

They are not masterpieces in the technical sense of the word, but I believe they are beautiful! I can’t wait to shoot more film. Actually I am in the market for a used film body that is a little bit more current that the trust TX (and one that will take all my fancy Canon glass that I have collected now). You will see more of my film adventures in the future.

And it takes some pretty awesome parents to facilitate that happening. I was just doubly bless by seeing how this mom and dad helped foster the bond between the two. We met up at Crissy Field in San Francisco and by golly it was windy (you can probably tell from our images). I would like to think of them as whimsical and wispy but in reality it was just really windy! But it didn’t stop us. We rolled around in the grass and played in the sand until it was past the little one’s bed time. This family is full of troopers.

Thanks K. Family for hanging out with me yesterday. I really did have an incredible time getting to know you all a little better! Here is your sneak peek of our images.

You can leave a comment below for the family or even for me (I love comments!) and use the links to share the post! Thanks for visiting the blog!

So thanks S. Family for inviting me into your world, it is a pleasure to get to capture your memories of all her perfection.
