Josh Turned 2!!!

It's incredible how quickly two years with this little guy have gone by! I mean, they've flown! It seems like the first two years with Lily were in slow motion, but having two kids makes everything that much more chaotic and awesome and fast. 

Saturday we taught Josh how to answer the question, "How old are you?" His response: "Do!" He was all ready to be asked a hundred times on Sunday, which was his actual birthday, and he was all grins about it. Of course, the balloons helped!

 We love you, buddy! Happy birthday!!

The First Day Dress | Rochester, NY Photographer (Who Sews!!!)

Listen, this is not a photography post. I mean, there are photographs in it (lots of them!), but this is really a post about sewing. Yup, sewing! 

You see, yesterday was a rainy, muggy day. I was already sweating by 8am and I was anxious to find something to do. My husband was at work, and the kiddos were relatively well behaved. We read books, wrote a story, baked some well-intended but cardboard-y muffins, and I ended up on Pinterest with this pattern begging me to buy it. When I checked to make sure I had all the materials on hand, I clicked buy, printed out the pattern, and got to work. About three hours later, I had a new dress for my daughter! Awesome!!

All day today, she has been saying to me, "You should be so proud of yourself, Mommy!" And, boy, am I! This is my first dress. The first of many, I'm sure.

Photographing My Little Ones | Rochester, NY Lifestyle Photographer

My favorite thing to photograph is my children. I'm sure that's true of most moms, but nothing makes my heart beat faster than capturing their childhood through my camera. And! It's even better when they are feeling happy and cooperative and let me take their photographs without fussing. Yeah, that's the best!

When my daughter was first born, I would spend hours taking pictures of her, just to pass the time. It's funny how, even five years later, things haven't changed much. I'm busier now than I was then (let's face it, newborns are cute but boring), but I still love a lazy afternoon with nothing to do but click! click! click!
