nature called

I have definitely figured out at this point, that my main passion in photography is capturing faces, expressions, people and their lives. However, this little guy landed in our yard today and he was begging me to grab my camera. So, of course, I did! He was quite pretty and unfortunately hurt, as he stayed around for a while.

And since nature was giving me a chance today, I took a few other shots too!

beautiful girls

We visited some friends recently who have 3 of the most unique, beautiful girls! Their eyes and lips and faces are such a combination of their mommy and daddy. "J", their oldest, was often playing with my oldest, so I didn't get many of her. However, I love this shot. . .

"Juju" their middle child was beyond amazing. Her eyes were piercing and sweet--there is so much going on in her head! I could NOT take my camera off of her!!!

I was also so excited to finally meet baby "M". She is such a happy baby--especially when Mommy was around, so I had to include Mommy in a photo too!
