This is Lili’s newest Little friend. He lives upstairs and is only a couple weeks older than our Bean. So far the two of them pretty much ignore each other unless they are going for a fistful of hair, and we all know who that is since someone still doesn’t have any hair! You can’t tell from this picture but this kid is rocking the brightest, cutest red hair that I have ever seen. He is amazing. And so is his Mama.
His mama came down for coffee the other afternoon, and we ended up pulling out our cameras and doing a mini photo shoot. It was fun. Both our ideas coming together, and focusing on one subject. Her Canon and my Nikon determined to make peace for a little while! It was interesting looking at each other’s photos afterwards. With two photographers you get two totally different views, and some pretty amazing pictures.
These past weeks I have been researching my little butt off in the photography world. It is as if I desire to grow came upon me over night. I have found that forums, flickr, and photography blogs are really insightful. My manual is my main sidekick as I have to refer to it constantly! Phewy! But I am also learning a ton just by listening to other photographers. I get frustrated if the idea in my head doesn’t come out exactly as I hoped in the photo, but I understand that this is just part of the process. I am falling in LOVE with this process.
I am really enjoying this season of life. Hanging out with my ever growing, changing, beautiful babes. Making a home for my family. Creating a friendship with my Miss Bella. Bonding over Cars with Caleb. Snuggling Miss Lili. Kissing Michael as he walks in the door. Dabbling in something I love. Experiencing color. Reading under a blanket with a hot cup of Hazelnut coffee in my hand. Friends voices warming our livingroom. A messy kitchen. Toys underfoot. Foggy windows. The sun sparkling on white white snow. Laughter. Tears. Banana bread baking in the oven. Warmth.
Life.
It is beautiful.
