Happy Mother’s Day to all of the Moms in the house! I hope everyone enjoyed the company of their Mom, or if you are a Mom yourself, I trust you were cuddled and snuggled and fawned over appropriately! Whether your Mom is living or not, I hope that you took the time to stop and appreciate all that your Mom has done for you and will continue to do for you. And yes, I realize that not all Mom’s are saints, Mom’s are people too who make mistakes and bad choices in life too. So celebrate THAT with a Hallmark card, right?

One of the things that I remember as a kid that either my Mom or my Dad did I can’t honestly say but I loved, involved pictures of me. They had me sit in front of the kitchen windows and make all kinds of faces. ‘Make a scared face’ or ’show us your happy face’ were the directions I got. I was SOOO freaking cheesy and did I cheese it UP for the camera! I had such a bowl cut going on, and I swear I was Georgie’s stunt double. So this afternoon, while gardening with G I brought my camera out for a quick session that kind of morphed into a recreations of my childhood shoot… Georgie is such a HAM!
On a nerdy note: these were all straight out of the camera (my Nikon D700 and shot with my 50 mm 1.4 G lens, wide open at 1.4, my white balance was the cloud because I tend to favor slightly warmer images- No light room adjustments or photoshop aside form the layout and branding was done to the images) I got the D700 a month or so ago to have on hand as my primary backup to the D3 and my other lighter camera for quick shoots. I really love it and can’t recommend it enough if you are thinking of making the leap from a D300 to a full frame camera. DO IT! Corvette Summer ipod
Jack on the other hand… would rather play with his friends than be with me and was pouting when I told him he had to come home and be with me! I let him play with them on the porch and he came back around and told me how much he loved me later… but how cute is he sitting here in the driveway pouting???
