I think I mentioned previously that we got our family photos done when we were in Curacao. However, there were some shots of each of the children that I sort of wanted to come back and explore more on my own. Here is CRD's photo shoot; I love the boy in a Hawaiian print shirt!

Three out of three of my babies are summer babies. C is funny, kind, goofy, smart, and big-hearted. We are so glad every single day that he's ours, and I hope 12 is a fantastic year for him!

We may never know who Eric is, but he knows a good time.

And we'll all float on anyway.

Blasting back to October 2025, and spending some time outside with the kids.

Photographing a moving target, and A's day off at the Science Center

Zinnias, butterflies, and my babies.

This costume was a hit. It was also a lot to explain.

I got a fixed prime lens for Christmas in 2015 - a Canon 50mm f/1.8. I don't use it as often as I would like, but it's a great little lens - that low aperture is great. I took some photo tests of C while he was asleep, because that's really the only time that you could catch him still.

A 6-year-old and a 1-year-old near jet engines; what could go wrong?

I promise I didn't enjoy torturing my child with Santa visits. And I will say, A's look there of pure hidden glee turned out to be pretty prescient.

If you don't like looking at up-close photos of bugs, this is probably not the post for you.

Scooting through the photo backlog, taking a peek at Thanksgiving of 2015.

It's that time of year... Iowa State Fair Photography Salon results for 2025.

Leafy photos both in our old front yard and on campus at our local university.

Lighting photo class was not my favorite class.

C's turn for a birthday

One of our goofiest Halloweens
