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!

Random fun

Sheep & Wool Gathering

My mom is a big time knitter, so she took us to the sheep & wool gathering, which was a great oppurtunity to take photos.

help! there's a llama eating my hair!

my son wanted to join the band!

I had the pleasure of taking maternity portraits for my good friend Rita, who is due soon with her second little bundle of joy!

Cousins

and 2 faves of my baby-

Prom!

This is my beautiful niece Ashley. I can't believe she is all grown up & going to prom! I remember when her uncle & I were still just dating & we had a 10th birthday party for her at my apartment! Now she's graduating! WOW, I must be getting old :)




Here she is with a bunch of my other nieces & nephews. Apparently in Philly the entire family & all your friends come out to see you off for prom. I only remember my parents being there for mine. This was much more fun!

Hope you had a ball Ashley!!!!
