Bucket Pictures

Years ago my mom gave me one of those buckets you put drinks in when you're having a picnic outside. I thought that was kind of weird till she mentioned it would be a great photo prop. I had to wait a long time to get to use the bucket - but when I did...it became my favorite prop for Caleb. I have been taking his pictures with the bucket every other month for his first year and then I waited till 15 months to do his next one.

I can't believe how big my Little Squirt is getting!

2 weeks


1 Month3 Months (January of 2010)


5 Months


7 Months


9 Months


11 Months


15 Months (January 2011)

This past year he has changed SO much. I can hardly believe he's learned to sit, stand, walk, talk, and show off so much in just 12 months. The bucket pictures will be fewer and further between from here on out - but I'll keep doing them. (I have an idea to do one picture of Caleb holding the bucket with his first little baby in the bucket. I hope the bucket is still around then.)

Frosty Night

Have I ever mentioned that I love night photography? It is so much fun and in the winter you don't have to wait half the night to get some good shots. These were taken between 7:00 and 8:00 tonight.


My wonderful husband doesn't even mind if I ask him to take me home so I can get my camera and then he comes back with me to stand in the cold while I take some pictures. He's the best!


Which of the panoramics do you like best?


The river was so pretty on the other side - but due to snow I couldn't get the exact shot I wanted. I do love long exposures with water though - it makes the water look so soft and beautiful.







While I was photographing - this is what Sam was up to:

He made a little snowman on each side of 2nd East. "So everyone can see one as they drive past."
