Perspective
More insight into kid brain development. Scarlett drew this image of a person sitting on a chair. I asked her if the little box was a tablet. She said, “No, it’s a door.” So I asked her why it was so small. “Because it’s far away.”

When only one kid is actually looking and posing….
Crop everyone else out!

Kids with a 50mm Prime
That sweet, sweet bokeh. Although, you have to remember to increase that f-stop as soon as you start moving things out of one plane.

Hoodie Sam
When Danielle brought out a hoodie for Sam a few weeks ago, I knew I had to photograph him in it for the incongruity of him just being a little baby in a hoodie. But I wasn’t sure what look I was going to go for. Then I remembered my snoot. Hooked that up to…

Eat My FOOT!
When Scarlett was born, I went a little crazy. Sure, it’s natural for first time parents, especially someone with my personality. But I think I also deserve some slack because it was a difficult, complicated pregnancy and then Scarlett needed surgery in her first week of life in order to live. So when I saw…

Older Siblings vs Parents
(I don’t know why uploading this to WordPress has ended up with the video upside down) There’s a story about my childhood my mom is fond of telling. My dad asks Daniel (the brother born after me) to do something. To my father’s consternation, he refuses because it would make me mad. It’s funny to…

Scarlett’s Art
I know that Scarlett is just 4 and she’s still learning things like putting in pupils and giving people proper heads and bodies. But sometimes I wonder if I have the next Tim Burton living under my roof. Plus I think the thick, black marker adds to the effect.

The Dancer on Stage
One of the photgraphers on Adorama’s channel has a show called You Keep Shooting. That advice worked rather well when I took Scarlett into the studio with me for a photo shoot that would be used for my Black and White Conversion Challenge. (While the videos are already live on Youtube, the blog post that…

Easter Portraits of the Kids
You never know what’s going to happen when you try to take portraits of babies. Throw in the extra unpredictability of kids of any age and it’s a crapshoot whether a photo shoot is going to turn out to be fun with rewarding photos or a series of photos of your children crying. One thing…

Scarlett colors some Easter Eggs
You’re never 100% sure what kids are going to enjoy. We know that Scarlett loves painting. Would she love coloring Easter Eggs? The answer was YUP!

This Was A Lot Easier with Just One (Part 2) – Variations on a Theme
Just in case the captions for the photos don’t appear on your RSS reader or on Facebook, here’s what I wrote as the caption to the photos: “Inspired by title I chose for my photo for the twins’ four month photo which didn’t come out quite the way I wanted it to, I decided to…

This was so much easier when it was just one baby! (4th Month Portrait)
I wanted to do this earlier – somewhere around 2 month portraits. I was re-energized to try the idea after seeing someone do a photo that made it look like their kid was bounding out of the crib with her stuffed animals. I did not take the Sam and Stella images from some other random…

Sam wins the teeth race
Yesterday Sam’s teeth started erupting – making him the earliest of the three kids to get their teeth and also explaining the last few days of insane amounts of drooling. (this was not a pre-published post)
