I wanted to share with you a sneak peek of the beautiful M family. We went back and forth on finding a date that would maybe have the possibility of being warm. We finally decided and boy did that day come through for us. It was perfect. A bit of chill in the air but that kept us on our toes. We played, we laughed, we pretended for hours. It is my favorite kind of shoot. Comfortable and relaxed and just pure FUN.
Book your session today! Visit Earth & Skye Photography for all the details.
What a fun afternoon I had yesterday. I met up with this adorable preemie and her sweet Mommy, Shakeria. They were the winners of the photo shoot I donated to support the wonderful website, It’s a Preemie Thing. I learned so much about preemies. Things I never knew. If you are looking for group of people that are in the same situation as you, I recommend this site to any Mother who has a preemie of their own.
Could I gobble this little one up?
Gulp!
and that is all we needed to bolt out of the house for a very needed walk in the fresh air. With all this sick going on, I couldn’t have welcomed it more. The first thing we noticed, with all the snow melting, it made for some really cool crevices.
Monsta was fascinated that all water was now going down the huge street drains and making a lot of noise.
There are lots of rivers on my block.
Cubby was interested as well (in his nonchalant way)
I liked this particular spot. Can you tell?
We were about 12 feet from home and we were HAPPY!
way HAPPY.
We stumbled upon tons of acorns. I was wondering why there were so many. Don’t the squirrels bury them and eat them all winter? Are there too many acorns around? Are there not enough squirrels? I’m thinking the latter. I remember when I was a little girl, they used to be all over the place. They are pretty scarce nowadays.
After we walked/stopped/biked/stopped for miles around the block, someone was pooped.
He relaxed by drawing on the driveway while Cubby…
played the game that never gets old, “Where did my cheerio go?”
Happy New Year everyone! I’m feeling great about these next 365 days, I really am.

In the middle of all the holiday rush, meet Baby M. She was such a delight to photograph and gave me the perfect break in between all the Christmas card madness. M and her Mama are working out all the kinks and in the process are building a very special bond. It is so nice to see all that LOVE! I know, I’m sappy but come on….look at this sweets:
My little sweets amongst the foliage…
Caught a moment in the garden…
Things have been wonderfully busy for Earth & Skye Photography so the posts here are a bit scarce. What’s going on in your neck of the woods? Doesn’t even have to be exciting news, I would just love to hear…
My Monsta helped me out this time around. Thanks for being still for like 1 second!
check them out!
I entered this shot into a contest for Photographing Children: Using textures. Winner gets Photoshop CS5. I’m keeping my fingers crossed but I never seem to have any luck with these contests. It’s fun to participate anyway.
Welcome to my new squeaky fresh and clean site. It has been a long week trying to redesign this whole thing and I’m not even close to being finished but I wanted to go live asap. I miss you guys! Although there are many similarities as far as content, the whole structure is different. This new layout will allow me to basically post more “stuff”. I will be changing pages and info forever over the next few weeks so don’t get used to what you see. I plan on showcasing my biz, Earth & Skye Photography and even offering some giveaways to my readers. I can’t wait for that!
Speaking of new……I want to show you what the Monsta made the other day. I love when I witness him doing something new creatively. He plays with playdoh all the time and usually makes funny faces with spiked hair, waffles, long rolls, a big mess….this time, he started building something very intricate. I saw him concentrating with the tongue out and everything. I watched quietly. What did he turn out? A snow man with a trunk he told me.
Isn’t it the most interesting snowman you have ever seen? I thought so. Look at those arms. I can imagine this snowman animated with those arms moving so gracefully to really cool music. I just had to capture it.
Another first: Cubby started eating! Today is his fifth day and he is soooo happy. Started with rice cereal then moved on to sweet potato. Gosh, he gets so excited when he sees that spoon. It has been hard to capture that moment though because he has been moving around so much. Craig brought down the highchair from the attic so now it will be easier for me and more controlled. It is a sight to see. Check him out:
This shot was his first viewing of the spoon. He sort of looks a bit like a deer in headlights. He warmed up seconds later though.
Well, it is Thursday (It is actually Sunday but when I posted this it was Thursday) and I must get off this darn computer because if the house is dirty on a Thursday……not good.
I want to thank you all for sticking around and visiting me. Is there anything YOU would like to see here? Any topics YOU would like to discuss? Any anything? Just putting it out there.
Happy Earth Day! (We’ll be planting bulbs and strawberries and peas today)
