Boys will be….well, boys

Went to Berkeley for a family trip and went to a Cubs vs. Giants game at the AT&T park. I choose not to bring my big camera to the park and got there and was sorry I didn’t. So much raw emotion and excitement from the crowd watching the game. The park was beautiful, and even knowing the bare minimum about the teams and the sport – the spectacle of a live game at the park is truly exciting. Took a bunch of photos the next few days to make up for it. Archer frowning, scowling, smiling, yelling shouting and then Charlie who also was hamming it up.

Double the cute!

I took photos of twin toddlers last weekend. LOTS of movement – lots of fun! They were sooo cute. I followed them playing and I got great shots. And then we tried for some posed photos, but really if you are having fun playing, why stop the fun? The planned family portrait was in danger of disaster until – their dad swung Patrick upside down. Solved! For moving little busy bodies, trying something different to get the giggles going is a great strategy for those challenging posed portraits.

File under adorable!

Little Olive is just on the edge of learning how to walk and babbles THE cutest baby talk ever! I spent much of the afternoon crawling on the ground, chasing her and giggling. When I take photos of little ones I try to get low, low, low on the ground as much as possible, and to laugh a lot. Try it when you are taking photos of your little ones. It really works. And guess what? It makes shooting lots of fun!
