Mommy + Daddy + Baby Penguin

In all seriousness; I have been looking forward to this shoot from the moment we discussed it several months ago.  This couple is so laid-back and fun-loving; they made it feel like we were simply hanging out, talking baby talk which always makes my job a whole lot easier, as my favorites are always the non-posed, ultra personal.

I now have to wait patiently (HA!) for Miss Davina to make her appearance to not only capture the sweetness in her first week, but to snuggle with the precious little princess!

 

Tely 10

A running goal of mine for the last few years.  A goal that was number one on my 2013 list; but unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control this year, not one that will get completed.

It will remain on there for 2014.

 

That aside; I did stand on the sidelines and snap photos and take part in the cheer squad.  Here's a peek at the fabulous people I got to capture as they made their way along the 10 mile route towards the finish line and a great sense of accomplishment . .

 

 

 

Signal Hill - Cabot Tower

Another stop on my Summer of discovering our beautiful little city.  

This was always a favorite of mine as a child; a place I would go with my Dad with our binoculars.  

For a child it was fascinating being so high up looking at things so closely; both in the day and at night.

As an adult it's still a favorite of mine; this time looking through different glass.

I could still just sit on the wall for ages; watching.

Take a spin and see our city from a different view and give Cabot Tower a little look see; it's packed full of fascinating history!!

Nate

An afternoon filled with belly laughs, hilarious facial expressions and bum wiggle dances.

This boy can melt a heart with a simple smile and make grown ups get down and act like a silly two year old.

Meet Nate.

 

Childhood . .

I remember how fun these were when I was little.  How it was ever so tempting to pluck them up and blow them clear apart.  Watch them carry in the wind and repeat.  

Little did I realize it would cause the pesky weeds to quadruple in population; then again, the temptation hasn't left me yet!

I apologize ahead of time to all of you that have to spend more time on your lawn to the childhood in side of some of us!

 

Man in the . . Sun?

You would think this is the moon; nope!  It's the sun we awoke to after the 'Super Moon'.  Through a very thick haze this beautiful, albeit a little strange, orange ball was rising to greet us.  Cool huh?!

Man in the moon . . .

I've always had an interest in astronomy; it's beautiful, peaceful and just a little fascinating.  Sadly I fell asleep waiting for the 'Super Moon', but did manage to grab this snap shot.  Tell me it isn't beautiful . .
