Watch Me Grow...6 Months

Holy whaaaat?!? It's been 6 months since Easton was born...unreal!! So check out little Smallz on his 1/2 birthday. We went to the doctor on Wednesday for his six-month wellness exam and here are his stats: Weight: 16 lbs (17th percentile) Height: 27 in (59%) Head Circumference: 16.6 in (82%) Upgraded to the size 6mo onesie... Sitting up in Mommy's favorite chair He's been doing this "crunch" thing for weeks

OPC - Day 14 "Eyes"

Sooo glad my plan for Day 11 "Something Blue" failed because I didn't realize "Eyes" was right around the corner...suppose I should start paying attention to the upcoming assignments. Here's the shot I was looking for :) Photo Specifics : Shot in Auto+ mode 1/100, f/5.6, ISO 320

OPC - Day 13 "Yourself With 13 Things"

Uh...ok I'll play along (unenthusiastically). Now let me tell you why...because I'm about to head out the door to get my hair done and there are very few things that make me so excited. Hopefully when I'm done my color will look something like this (would also take the face and body but only so much one can do at the salon). So I apologize but I totally enlisted a guest photographer for this one - will protect said photographer's anonymity because this person simply does not have time to take requests for portraits, weddings, infant photos and the such! Here I am with 13 things - can you tell who was spoiled before the little homie came along?

OPC - Day 12 "Sunset"

Had to dip into the archives for this one because we've been under a thick cover of clouds here in Boston since about 3 o'clock this afternoon. I took these two photos in Ogunquit, ME this summer  with my family. We had such a fun time and the scenery was breathtaking! So much fun to watch the tide come in and go out and how much it affected the beach right by where we were staying...other highlight was getting "jump" photos of my family! lots of laughs there :) I don't know which of these two is my favorite so here are both. Will probably post photo #2 to Flickr since the first has that funky green flare in it but I think I like the setup of #1 better...you?

OPC - Day 11 "Something Blue"

For the last 30 minutes I've been walking around the house noticing just how much blue there really is around this place. Once I'd snap a photo I'd turn around and see something else I wanted to take a picture of...oh the choices. I took a bunch but since it's dark outside and the lighting in our apartment absolutely stinks not many turned out well but here are a few that fell into the "acceptable to display in public" pile...your favorite? So this was my original plan - a picture of this cutie's beautiful blue eyes but this was the only shot I could get because he was TIRED and not having it :( So then I thought, why not show you the source of those baby blues (Jace's eyes are brown so I'll have to snap those beauties for some other assignment) It's close enough to Halloween for a slightly creepy shot, right? Couldn't skip taking a photo of the Air Force blue! I think this will be the one I submit to the Flickr site And my ...

OPC - Day 10 "Childhood Memory"

Thinking about today's assignment was a lot of fun for me. Unfortunately, I don't live anywhere near the small town in Illinois where I grew up or I could throw a couple real doozies in here...I'm sure my girlfriends are OK with that though ;) It was a lot of fun to take a stroll down memory lane to try and figure out what I could take a photo of to represent a childhood memory. I settled on this - a photo of my bear. This bear was a gift from Santa (oh how I love that man) in 1980-something. Photo Specifics: 1/30 f/3.5 ISO 500 I've had this sucker for SO long that I honestly can't remember not having him around. I believe he was a Mistletoe Bear from Marshall Fields but it's been eons since he's had his cute little hat and actually looked white . His head's been sewn back on twice (thanks, Mom) and the reason I decided to photograph him is because there's one story that actually comes to mind every time I look at his sad little right eye... ...

OPC - Day #9 "Someone You Love"

Because this foolio wouldn't let me take his picture this morning I've found another way to get him into this assignment. Oh my goodness we look like little kids...21 June 2003 Someone I love VERY much ;)
