Nicole and Paul

I had the awesome privilege of photographing Paul and Nicole this past weekend.  Paul is my awesome cousin from the big town of Ville Platte down in south Louisiana!  Their wedding is in May.  I had so much fun with both of them!  We went to a few new locations I found just driving around.  My faves are the first and the third to last.  I’m loving shooting into the sun…it’s my new favorite thing!  Oh, and we had to get a fun group shot at the end.  Don’t you think that angle makes me look thin?  😉

 

Writings On The Wall

Well it finally happened…Bexley found a new coloring book…our living room wall!  It looks like he scribbled a bit, walked down the hall holding the crayon, and then scribbled some more.  I didn’t even notice it at first.  My first reaction was to get on to him for it, but then I stepped back, took another look at it, and then tried to think of some way I could get that tiny masterpiece into a frame.  Every time I walk past it, I can’t help but smile.  I know that 15 years from now, I’ll wish I still had a little boy putting his “writings on the wall.”

Bento by Mo

Ok, so today I made my first “Bento” meal for Bexley to bring to school.  I got the idea from another photographer, Amy Coffey.  Well, actually the idea came from the Japanese culture.  They make these meals called “Bentos” that you can get for take-out or as a home-packed meal.  They are small amounts of foods packed in a little box, or served on a divided plate.  If done correctly, the size of the box is essentially the amount of calories in the meal.  For example, a 400ml box would contain roughly about 400 calories!  Pretty cool, huh? 

So, this is my “Mo” version of an americanized Bento meal.  I sent Bexley with this one today, and his teachers loved it.  And for the first time in a LONG time, he only had the napkin left!  I packed strawberries, purple grapes, half of a banana, crackers, and a wheat tortilla with PB&J…and a sippy cup with milk 🙂

Ski Trip

We had an absolute BLAST on our trip!  We didn’t know what to do with ourselves without all our kids, but it didn’t take us long to start having some FUN!  We stayed at the Copper Mountain resort in Colorado.  It snowed every day we were there!  Here are some pictures we got with our little take-along camera:
