Life Through the Lens: September 2007

Two Under Two

Two kids under the age of two. They are two beautiful babies with the most amazing big brown eyes.

Urban Mamma to Be

This is the incredibly gorgeous, glowing and very pregnant Clara. We spent time documenting her pregnancy as well as the fact that she is pregnant while living in the city. We had a great time together and came up with some cool shots. Looking forward to meeting the baby. My guess is that baby is a boy, but I am always wrong so you can put money on baby being a girl. LOL No doubt baby will be beautiful and as you can tell from the photos, it won't be long till baby is here.

Just one

I took my camera out for the first time in over two weeks yesterday. This is what I got from Miss Katie.

I've been tagged

By fellow photographers Joyce Smith and Sunshine Trout. I have been asked to list 8 random facts about myself and then tag 8 more photographers. Sorry to disappoint, but I am rather boring.

1. I love, absolutely love American Idol. I have a little crush on Simon Cowell, man boobs and all. LOL

2. This minivan driving mamma is a former student of Skip Barber Racing School. I went on a swanky corporate event there back in the "boom" days of the high tech industry. We had a lot of those fun trips back in the 90's. Hmmmmm, wonder why the bubble burst? LOL

3. I love Pringles chips.

4. I used to have super curly hair like my daughter but lost the curl (along with my sanity) after the kids came along. ;) Hormones? Age? Not really sure. It has been replaced by something that isn't quite curly and isn't quite straight. Frizzy waves would probably be the best way to describe it.

5. My husband and I were married in Ireland 8 years ago.

6. I avoid high heeled shoes like the plague. I can likely count on one hand the occasions for which I wore heels over the past year. I sport running shoes, Croc slides, Merrells and Uggs about 90% of the time.

7. I love perfume and my top three faves right now are Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana, Very Irresistable by Givenchy, and Her by Narciso Rodriguez.

8. My favorite color is light, bright blue. It makes me happy. If I ever have a home with a proper office that I can call my own, I will paint it light, bright blue.

Okay, now to choose 8 photographers. As a sidebar, after checking out all these blogs I've realized that I need to step mine up a bit. I need to make a fancy banner for the top. I never bothered before because I use this just for family and friends. I often wonder if anyone even looks at it or am I just talking to myself.

Okay, back to task on hand. Tagging 8 fellow photographers. Please check out the links to see their beautiful work.

Gavin's 4 month session

Baby Gavin is so cute and has the best expression. Big Brother Austin was there too. They are such handsome boys ad it was a blast photographing them. :)

A few of my faves.

I think this one is so sweet.

Gavin has a fantastic smile.

More from Ireland

I saw this and had Susan pull over on the road.

Love the sass and attitude here.

Back from Ireland

We had a fantastic time in Ireland. I spent a month there with the kids. My bestfriend Sue was there for the first two weeks and then Scott joined us for the last two weeks.

We spent most of our time in Rosslare Harbour in County Wexford and one week in County Mayo. Ireland has had horrible weather this summer and we lucked out by getting the best of it. We spent many glorious days at the beach.

I did not use the Internet for the month which was quite liberating. I read a bunch books and at the top of the list is A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby. Fabulous, dark English humor. Absolutely superb.

And now for a few pics.
