Yay, Leopolds!  Christina and Glen live next door to my best friend Lizard and I was thrilled when they asked me to take family pictures.  I have  loved watching their curly-haired, energy-packed kiddo, Alex, grow and grow the past couple of years, and was excited to finally meet sweet Leo, the newest addition the family.

Christina and Glen, THANK YOU for hanging out for a morning full of humidity, toddler chasing, newborn soothing, and picture grinning.  I had a ball and am down for round 2 whenever you say the word.  :)

(and one more because they are so stinking cute)

Those boys look SO cute! I love it, and them! Humid barely describes that morning, but it all paid off in the end I see. Thank you for inviting me. It was really great to see you at work.

SO MUCH CUTENESS! I love the shirts :)
And no kidding about the blue eyes!
Really nice job on these! :)

Because I have no shame

It is just plain difficult to take a decent picture of oneself.  Wouldn’t one agree?

However, since I found myself actually showered and dressed in socially-acceptable clothing the other day, I figured it was a good time to give it another go.

I brushed my hair, slapped on my shortest lens, and planted myself directly in front of my sunshine-filled window.  Wrist shaking from the ridiculously awkward posture of holding a 7 pound camera with one hand at arms length while feigning pure relaxed confidence, I started snapping away.

Basking in the warm sunshine, feeling a bit victorious…

Cue the photic sneeze reflex.

Uh-oh…

Pure pre-sneeze hottness.

You jealous??  ;)
