Spring Is Finally Here
May 5, 2009
Well, spring seems to have arrived in Michigan, and wouldn’t you know it I had to spend a lot of my day indoors today. No picture taking today!
My grand daughter had a play to go to at the Wharton Center on the Michigan State University campus, and the play was about a family during the Nazi occupation. The children were all around 9, but they paid very close attention to the play and were able to ask the actors questions after the play ended.
From there back to school, then to Grandma’s house, snacks (banana, ceral, cookies and a dab of ice cream) and Dad arrives to take them home.
My days are a bit long as I get up at 5:00am to go to our son’s home (he has custody of the little ones, and has to be to work at 5:30am), grab a nap and get the kids up at 7:00am (8 year old boy and 9 year old girl), off to school and back to retrieve them at 3:00pm.
Busy days – but the good part is they usually like to play outside and I get to take lots and lots of photos of them. My husband had to get me to terabyte external drives to store all of my pictures! But what fun!
Well, got to go – until next time keep shooting!

Welcome to my world!

As this is my first post, I am somewhat nervous, but my webmaster tells me it isn’t that difficult.
So let me begin by telling you a little about myself. Ever since I was a young girl I have been fascinated by cameras. In fact, the very first thing I ever purchased with my baby sitting money was a Kodak Starmite camera (I’m revealing my age here!).

Kodak Starmite Camera
I took a lot of pictures and I remember my parents telling me “That camera sure takes the best pictures!” Of course I knew it wasn’t the camera, but that was OK with me. Being the oldest of five with two sisters and two brothers I always had a chance to practice my passion – Child Photography.
Over the years I have taken thousands of photographs of many, many children, and now my favorite subject are my grandchildren, a girl and a boy.
So please check back often and share my passion for child photography.
