This latest blog entry was particularly interesting, because the little baby and I share a name. I'll admit, however, that I did NOT have a head of hair like that as an infant.

A baby named Nina
There are several photographers whose blogs I follow because they set the bar for exceptional child photography. Carrie Sandoval is at the top of my list--she's a genius. I adore her clean, beautiful style.

Multi-celebratory Sunday
On Sunday our family celebrated Mom's birthday (the 18th) and their wedding anniversary (the 21st) as well as Father's Day. This triad of special occasions is fun, no doubt, but snuck up on us this year. Luckily a little team effort brought it all together: Paula craftily slipped a wedding photo out of their album, and had it restored and beautifully framed. She had already purchased a collector's edition DVD of "The Magnificent Seven" for Dad, and I got a card and Starbucks gift card for Mom. Then we ordered Tuscani pasta from Pizza Hut for lunch. Done!
We're entering the heat of summer, and Sunday the temperature was in the 90s. Waaaay to hot for the boys to be outside playing like they normally do at Grammy and Papa's house. Unfortunately, being inside in the AC can also lead to cabin fever for rambunctious little boys. Thank goodness for Cartoon Network!
There's a strange contradiction between the way they like to alternate wrestling with being affectionate. As cute as this moment was, it was equally brief. Within minutes there was a "Stop touching me!" incident and Aunt Nina had to claim the middle spot to maintain peace.
But I do LOVE these boys, stinky feet and all!

Hither and yon
From one side of town to the other, I was all over the place today. First I attended a baby shower at my friend Tania's home in Fayetteville.
Tania and Scott are special friends: they were one of the first couples I photographed when they got engaged. Now they are expecting their first baby in only two weeks. Scott's daughter Madison was full of energy, keeping everyone on their toes and "helping" Tania open the presents. She'll be a wonderful big sister.
After dropping off a friend who rode with me, I headed over to Decatur for my friend Ellen's solo exhibition show at the Sycamore Place Gallery. Ellen is a fantastically talented artist--this exhibition featured textured dry-brush paintings, and the theme was AIR FIRE WATER. They were fan-tastic.......really. Amazing use of color and texture. I want one! (Truth be told, I wanted THIS one, but somebody bought it.) You can view more of her work and purchase it here.
The gallery space itself is pretty darn cool: there's an alley that leads through an open garage door to the space. It was warm but not unbearably hot, so the perfect night to have an indoor/outdoor event like this.
And as usual things got slightly silly when the crowd dwindled at the end of the evening. I don't know these people, I swear--I just happened to be walking by with my camera!

Look at the birdy....
Seems like just yesterday that my feathered friends were setting up house on my balcony and building a nest. But now things have progressed, more quickly than I anticipated.
Now this....
Has turned into this....
It's an almost-grown baby bird!
(Unfortunately, in the course of getting this shot, the little birdy flew away, probably for good. Oops.)

Mason
Katie's big brother, Mason, was only fleetingly interested in the goings on involving the camera lady. He had WAY too much energy to pose, or heck, even stand still for a nanosecond. To the immense disappointment of his mom and I, he could not be begged, cajoled, or lured into taking a photo holding baby sister. No way, no how, no sir!
He was a little charmer, though, and came to lay down next to her on the bean bag and make sure she was okay. So sweet! The makings of an excellent protective older brother, for sure. Here was that one moment--I had to snap quick to get it before he was up and gone again.
