The best part of my sabbatical is actually finding joy (and energy) in photographing my own family again 🙂
Never forget why you got into photography in the first place.
There’s something endearing about the imperfections…
my bathroom is…umm…well, its seen cleaner days, and my kid looks completely dischevelled.
But that’s life.
Its my life.
And I love it.
Here’s a little “behind the scenes” action video. Â Enjoy!

I love this!!! I seriously laughed out loud when he said/signed “all done,” then said “more!” So great! And I love the pictures where you can see the reflection of his face in the mirror. So cute! Nice work Brooke!
Oh for CUTENESS sakes!!!!!
Your bathroom looks totally fine! Wait until you have more kids and THEN you’ll know what a messy bathroom is 🙂 I love the video and can’t wait to see more of Buzzy’s adventures with his “friend in the mirror!” Check out this old video I made of my oldest boy when he was potty training: http://slward3.blogspot.com/2008/07/photo-and-video-editing-at-www.html
I think you’ll get a kick out of it 🙂
This is to0 cute! The signing brought me back to when my boys were that age 🙂 Love It!
Lets take a moment to kiss his face off.
He has the best smile! I love these.
He is so cute, Brooke! Enjoy him!
oh that bottom one is sooooooooooo awesome!!
Boys are exhausting aren’t they? So how did you do video and still photos at the same time?
Hey Jenny! I have a video mode on my slr… So I’d shoot video for a few minutes, then switch it back to regular still shots for a few minutes. If he was doing something particularly cute, I’d switch quickly to the still shots to get the shot I wanted and then hop back into video. I honestly don’t use the video very much, but putting a little story together like this was so fun, that I’ll probably start doing it a lot more. I have no video of me growing up as a kid. We never had a video camera (my parents still don’t have one)… and there really is something delightful about seeing movement and hearing voices that comes with video. Its a whole new ball game. Similar to photography in many ways, but also totally different…
So cute when he waved and still couldn’t stop drinking the water. Priceless.
I LOVE that video. It makes me want to record my kids more often. (And switching back and forth is such a great idea…I don’t do that enough). Thanks for sharing the laugh 🙂
He’s such a cutie!
Love!
Oh, how time flies… (*sigh*)
