These kids were not happy about waiting to dive into a wadding pool filled with sawdust, candy, and money. Is it sad that I’m glad they had to wait so I could grab this pix?

A Word a Week: Create
One of my favorite things to create is memories. Not only is this a great family, but they are actually part of my extended family, and I’m grateful they entrusted me with capturing this particular memory for them.
A Word a Week: Transport
As a child, my favorite form of transportation was seeing how high I could make the neighbor’s swing go. It was a great swing set that was about 20-feet high with heavy chains on the seats so you could really pull hard and get some serious air. Go to any playground and you see the same thing. Kids are always trying to see how high a swing will let them fly.
Sunday Stills: Face Time
Baby R is back and still as cute as ever. The roses from A Baker’s Dozen Roses belong to his grandma, so he and his parents came along for the shoot, which meant I got to grab some more pictures of him and his sweet family.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Contrasts
This week’s photo challenge is about contrasts. The pictures I’m using show two different kinds of contrast.
In the first one, I used my photo editing software to bump up the contrast and saturation to enhance the striking difference between the deep colors of the trees and the facade of the building.
The second picture is of Baby C and his great-grandpapa, one life at the beginning and the other nearing the end of a long and very productive time on this earth.
A Photo a Week Challenge: Pink and Gold
Pink and gold always make me think of little girls and fancy dresses. This sweetie was playing in the fountain while we waited for the bride and groom to come out for pictures. I love how her curls glow as much as the sheen on her party dress.
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO WITH PINK AND GOLD AS EITHER THE MAIN OR ACCENT COLORS.
Look for the pink and gold around you, or use your photo editing software to enhance or create images that represent pink and gold to you. Then blog them and post a link to your masterpieces here.
Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
Here’s how it works:
1. Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.

A Photo a Week Challenge: Trapped
This little sweetie came with her mom to a church youth activity (we toured the State Capitol Building), and she was not happy about being strapped in her stroller. She really wanted to roam free, like the big kids.
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO THAT YOU FEEL REPRESENTS BEING TRAPPED.
There are so many ways that things or people can be or feel trapped. Some are good for us, and some are not. Blog an image that shows someone or something trapped and post a link to your find here.

Baby R
I had the privilege of photographing this little guy. You wouldn’t know it from looking at him, but he’s only two months old (big boy). He was so much fun to photograph. He loved the flash and was a perfect angel through the entire shoot. Thanks to Baby R’s Mom and Dad for letting me have this much fun.
Don’t you just love baby feet? Me, too!
Weekly Photo Challenge: Family
A Photo a Week Challenge: Children
I realized that I missed last week. Sorry if you were looking for the weekly challenge. This week I have chosen children for the theme. I love shooting pictures of children. They are so unpredictable. Sometimes they’ll look right at the camera. Sometimes they will only let you take funny pictures of them. But however they react to the camera, it is always surprising and interesting.
