Yo Dawg.

One of my photography sessions rescheduled for tomorrow so I took the open slot for myself!  Andrew is turning 5 early next month and I wanted to make sure that we got his birthday pictures done in order to have prints for the party - more honestly for the grandparents and other family members.

The other day I was going past the elementary school and there is a structure that was recently "hit" by graffiti artists - much to my delight, it was a very cool dinosaur.  With big teeth.  And little arms and hands...those little arms reminded of Cee Lo Green. So in any event, I have been thinking about how great of a backdrop this would be (now with the final product you do not even see the big monster that had me so inspired).

Andrew and I headed out this morning for our adventure.  You see, this is much different when you are taking photos of your own child vs. clients.  Two reasons, the first is that your own child does not listen to you! The challenging part.  The second, is there is a sense of adventure that you gain - you can be flexible and daring!  So, with a little inspiration from Cee Lo and of course, Mac Miller - here are some shots from this mornings session!

As Jen's husband, I am often pulled into conversations with my wife. "Mike, what do you think about this?" is a question I'll hear often. And then it'll be the hedgehog for the youngest son's first birthday. Or the top hat for the Mad Hatter party. Or the bull horns from the flea market. The pictures and pictures and pictures that she takes everywhere, with anyone, about anything. The little things like the seed packets held in place by forks on the mantle. That's next to the upside down babydoll head from Paris. Don't ask. I don't.

But it's fun, fancy and keeps her busy. I'll be her guest blogger to keep you informed of the real madness. She'll explain what she did and why she did it, and I'll bring her (and you) back to reality. She wants to post all sorts of things on here....from flea market finds, cooking, to being a working mother in the healthcare industry, and to her adventures as a casual family photographer. Ohhh and her opening of an Etsy shop, the pinning obsession on Pinterest and of course the new found love of Tweeting (she is still trying to figure it out)!

There is no thread. No organization. And no rhyme nor reason. And that's good...
