I know I posted a very similar image to this just a few posts ago, but there is one very important reason I post this one today. This is the shoot I did for my son Caleb’s one year birthday! I have done this very same shoot twice before this one, and I have to tell you, even though it is the same, it is so not! Each child reacted very differently to the cake. The first two dug right in and ate it up. My son, not so much. He did try a little, but he really didn’t eat much. My daughter was the same way when she turned one. Of course she had an ear infection and didn’t feel good, but we gave her the chance at two and she didn’t really do it then either. I guess the point is that, especially with kids, you can do the same setup and get completely different results every time. That is one of the reasons I love working with kids, you just never know waht you are going to get!

Today is opening day for the Milwaukee Brewers. Now, I am not much of a baseball fan, but my wife is. She dressed Caleb in this Brewers outfit today to celebrate opening day. I captured this quick picture of him while we were playing at the park with my iPhone.

Tonight the weather was so great that we got to play outside with the kids again. Addison really loves to push Caleb in his swing, and he obviously enjoys it as well! I am looking forward to more fun this weekend and this summer with the kids and Lori!

Tonight Caleb was really getting into eating his oatmeal. Enough said.

I read page 162 in 40D manual.

Today, I did a quick session with my son Caleb. I had this setup for a client, but they had to reschedule, so why waste it? I went and got some bowls, and some utensils, and some flour for his face, and I think they turned out pretty cute.

Today I read page 86 in the Canon 40D manual.

Today we have a picture of my son Caleb and my wife Lori. We were at my mom’s house tonight and she likes to give the kids baths. Caleb really loves baths now and was being very funny. I caught this sweet moment of Lori and Caleb during his bath. The lighting was just the bathroom light, so it was a good thing I had the 5D MArk II so I could shoot at ISO 1000 with no problem.

Today I read page 141 in the 5D Mark II manual, Protecting Images.
