3 years old!

so i finally got around to taking jace's 3 year old pictures last week. it did take a little bribing on my part to get him into the clothes i wanted and out the door. we didn't have much time because it was threatening to rain on us but we still got some good ones.

actually we got a lot of good ones. here is what i've edited so far.





this last series is one of my favorites. it totally shows what happens when i want to take his picture. the first picture he is saying "mom, do i really have to stand here and do this?" the second shows him so often distracted and interested in something other than the camera. and the last is his nice little cheeser. man, i love this kid!


more to come when i get around to editing them.

photography

after a couple of months of not picking up my camera much i am in the mood to take pictures again. as much as i love to take photos of jace, he gets kind of tired of it. i have always toyed with the idea of doing it for others. so, to see if it is something that i would enjoy doing and if it would be a good fit for our family i thought i would give it a try.

what you would get: a one hour session and a cd of the best photos, edited.

what i would get: practice. practice. and more practice.

so, if anyone is up for it, i would love to take pictures of you or your kids or your family. just let me know. i would love you forever! you can leave a comment here or email me at jm.mclaughlin@gmail.com to set up a session.

p.s. i am in the process of updating my photo blog if you want to check it out to see some other photos i've taken.

amber (jared's cousin) took some quick snapshots of jace and i last spring when she was visiting. i have been meaning to post them but never got around to editing them until last week.

i love. love. love. having these pictures of me and jace. we have such a great time together and i always want to remember this time of our lives.


thanks amber!

a couple more dandelion pictures

green balloon

after the dandelion we tried some balloon pictures. he only lasted about 10 minutes but i still liked how they turned out. now i just need to start printing his pictures and hanging them on the walls or putting them in a book. that part is so hard for me.

dandelions

we found some huge dandelions the other day so of course we had to take some pictures. the morning light was beautiful and we had fun trying playing with the dandelions. jace couldn't quite blow them but if he shook it they would fly away. he's a good sport to let me take pictures of him all the time.
