Happy Birthday, Owen!

This is a couple weeks late in posting. Owen turned one on January 4th. These are my two favorites from his big day.

And Still More Owen

What can I say? I'm in love!

Owen's One-Year-Old Portraits, Revisited

Owen's One-Year-Old Portraits

Ok, this was the first attempt. I realized my ISO was set at 1600, so these are a bit grainy. I hope to do another shoot tomorrow as long as Owen and Ethan cooperate.

Different Perspectives

Colored Catchlights

I was playing around with my flash, bouncing it off different things in Owen's room to see how it would look. This was interesting. I bounced it off the dresser and it made some colorful catchlights in his eyes.

Just Having Fun

Baby + Piano = Cuteness

I love how Owen's little hand covers only two keys.

Casting Shadows

Gum Tree Leaves

Soaking the Sunrays in Sepia

Say that 5 times fast...

Goodbye Sunny Days

Well, today was 70 degrees and sunny, so Owen and I headed outside for a little photo shoot to commemorate this gorgeous day. Don't think we'll have many more of these for a while here in Cleveland!

Owen Loves Grass

Not only do I love my son's chubby little fingers, I love the lighting in this shot - the bright spot of sun and the deep shadows. We were sitting under a tree and Owen was pulling grass out of the ground. He is a landscaper's nightmare.

Spiky Hair Club... No Girls Allowed

Boys and Rocks...

What's This?

Owen Posing

What's Up, Mom?

Bath Time Baby

Owen's Grammy Patrice got to give him a bath this past weekend and I got to take pictures! It's hard to take pictures and give the bath at the same time... not a good idea for expensive photography equipment.

Baseball Portraits Take 2

I did some baseball portraits of Owen back before he could crawl and I just loved them. I decided to do it again, but this time I took him out on the ball field... er, grass. I think he's going to be a catcher. Check out the hand signals!
