Morning on the couch

Since my boys came along, my love for photography has blossomed. I just can't get enough of capturing my little guys and the moments I want to hold on to. This picture for instance is just a quick moment we spent on the couch watching cartoons this morning...He was doing something that makes me want to stop time forever. He was giving one of those big ol' belly laughs that I just adore.
Zach took a bit more to get him to smile... I had to tickle him (which he really doesn't like- but I do it anyways!)

And this was the look I got when he was too tired to laugh anymore. He says "I outta gas mama"! That's his way of taking a breather, until he's ready to attack again!

I have found that photography isn't a cheap hobby. But each time I learn a new free trick to add to my bag, I feel my pictures get a little better. My girlfriend Flo, who was out a couple weeks ago, helped me figure out some exposure issues.

And getting these kind of pictures straight out of the camera (no editing), inside my living room (dark room)... AND capturing those handsome faces... make a mama proud!

And so my love of the boys, and my camera grow! :)
