The "C" Family

Doesn't this smile just make you melt?

More flowers & my silly boy...

the many faces of my two year old...

A good friend of mine who's also a photographer had this great idea to get your child to look at the camera- you just say "do you see an elephant in my camera?" well, this is what I got with that:

and this is how we have fun at Grandma's- sweeping the driveway...

and making faces at Poppop...

Flowers & Fun Outside

These flower pictures are practically SOOC, all I did was resize & sharpen for web...maybe a vignette here & there.

And some of my little guy on his pre-bedtime walk...

Most amazing classic rock band ever, seriously!

My son & I went to see our friend Mike (our awesome bass player from my previous post) play with his other band, Slym Pyckyns, at Yachtstock. They were absolutely amazing! They did an awesome rendition of "Sweet Home Alabama" and Led Zeppelin's "The Ocean"- and there are only 3 of them! These guys are sooooo talented. Always in photography mode, I brought along my good camera and took all these pictures while holding my wiggly 2 year old...

Fireworks

My little guy was absolutely terrified...so I got a few pics while he was sitting with Daddy & then mommy duty trumped photography.

Didn't get any pics of the big finale, so I had to photoshop one up:

Quite possibly my fave photo of someone other than my child...

My friend Mike, the most talented bass player since Paul McCartney. Seriously- come hear for yourself- our band is playing next Friday at The Vine bookstore in Springfield (details here- the vine website) I love this picture because it makes me feel like a real photographer, not just a mom with a camera- really makes me want to get into band photography...musicians are a lot more cooperative than your average 2 year old!
