Since my grandsons birthdays are just under a month apart, my daughter decided to hold a joint party for the both of them in between their actual special days. Saxon turned 3 on September 12th, and Eros turned 1 on October 6th.

(1) Saxon got his Speed Racer cake….

(2) A smaller cake just for Eros to ‘dig’ in to!

(3) Saxon only takes one try to blow out his candles

(4) Saxon then sang “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Eros…” and blew out the candles for his little brother

(5) Eros wasn’t too sure what to do with the big hunk of food in front of him, at first…

(6) Then he dug in and figured it out….

(7) and boy did he like getting his hands all in the cake!
(8) Off tot he bathtub for Eros… look at that 2-tooth grin… what a happy birthday boy!

(9) Digging in a cake and making a mess… AND a bath… what an AWESOME birthday!!!!

(10) Saxon got to lick the icing off of Speed Racer
(11) Lots of presents for the boys to open.
(12) Only at 3 can you get sooooo excited over new underware. Well, they were speed racer and batman undies… I guess thats exciting!

(13) A Bow on the baby… Just cause we had to… lol

(14) Saxon finished opening his presents and gladly helped out with opening Eros’s…

(15) An exhausted Mommy (my beautiful daughter, Tanja) with all the boys new stuff

My daughter Tanja and her youngest son, Eros, came by a few weeks back to have some photos taken to send to her husband who is away at ‘boot camp’ for the Army. The older grandson, Saxon, wasn’t feeling well – so we just took some of Eros.

I think these are some just downright adorable shots of my grandson Eros – if I do say so myself!!!

I hope you enjoy them as much as i enjoy my boys!

Some studio stuff…

Yesterday a friend and fellow photographer opened up his studio to a few of us for a mini studio lighting workshop. Since I don’t have a studio and am just gettting into taking portraits with my new backdrop system – it was good to learn a few things from a pro!

So thanks to Sergio for the lessons and to Tina and Sara for modeling.

Operation Love ReUnited – 9 Feb 2008

On Saturday February 9th I had the honor of my first Operation Love ReUnited

photo shoot.

If you’re not familiar with the organazition, photographers volunteer our time and creativity to capture precious memories of the families of deployed service members. We then send (at no charge) a book of the photos to the deployed spouse.

I signed up for this since many moons ago I was a military wife and know how hard it was for him to be away for any lengths of time. Being a civil servent here on Lackland and dealing with airmen of all ages and ranks and knowing what they sacrifice on a daily basis it just felt right!

Here is the slideshow I made from the photos for the family:

Here are a few of the photos from that session.
