My favourite photo is one I just happened upon recently of my brother and I as toddlers. I found it in an old box. It was so neat to discover such an old photo. (yep ~ I'm old. LOL)

My current favorite is one I took of my littlest, sleeping on the stairs. He fell asleep in the car on the way to pick up his brother from kindergarten and when we arrived home, he only got as far as the third step. So cute!

My favorite photo is one that was taken of my husband, my little girl, and me. We are standing next to a vintage WWII aircraft. My daughter went nuts over it because it was painted and looked like a shark. She was so taken with it that she now wants to be a pilot. I love the memories attached to this pic. We shared not only history with her, but have fueled her aspirations as well.

My current favorite is from a photo shoot of my three year old daughter last week. She is wearing jean and a white t-shirt and is barefoot. The look she is giving the camera (and me, since I was taking the photo) is mischievous and captures her in this season.

My favorite photo is one of me and my husband dancing. It is so hard to get good pics of that and it is such a big part of our lives!

My current favorite photograph is of my oldest son jumping up in the air to catch the soccer ball. I caught him in mid air and it looks as though his is so high plus I captured his shadow on the ground. Thanks for the chance to improve my photography with one of these classes or fabulous bag! :)

My favorite photo is one that was taken by my midwife a few minutes after my youngest was born. It is of my two older daughters with their brand new baby sister. The smiles on their little faces always makes me smile!

We were having family portraits done. At the end, my husband & I were goofing off a bit, I grabbed him from behind by throwing my arms around him & playfully said "here's the perfect shot!" The photographer--who I thought was putting her camera away, turned & clicked! We haven't had our couple portraits done in 10+ years (since our wedding). The shot she took is fabulous. It's us & we are so happy. Simple closeup, but it is so special.

My current favorite photo is one taken of my adult daughters, all home during the New Year's holidays, being silly at the beach. We love taking pictures of them jumping in the air. . . laughing together, not caring what bystanders think of our silliness. Looking at that brings warmth to my heart, and a smile to my face.

My favorite photo is one I took of my girls on the first day of school. They are walking, just the two of them, away from us with dresses & backpacks on and the light streaming down the street is silouhetting them in just the perfect way and they look so happy & independent.

My favorite photo is one I took in January of my daughter taking a photo - she's a freshman in college, pursuing a degree in Interior Design and double minors in Art History and Photography. On a very snowy weekend she came home to work on an assignment, and I followed her around. Love seeing her in action!
