A year and a red rocking chair

It's coming up on my birfday, and I usually get around to thinking about the past year. It's convenient to have a birthday in January, when I'm already exercising my brain.
But sometimes it's even easier to think about someone else's year, especially when that someone is your own kid.
Kids' lives move faster. My kid's nearly 3 feet tall now and transitioning to a big boy bed. Last year he wasn't standing on his own yet.
That didn't stop me from bringing him into the studio for some photos. Brian came with me to help with the baby-wrangling.

So here's a treat from last January.


It's true. The shoot did end in tears. But I got to take a picture of my big guy comforting my little guy. Life is good. And blog entries about one's offspring are sometimes gooey. :P

Wild rumpus

Okay, it's been a little while since I posted any photos of my kid. Here are some from yesterday.

Hooray for more daylight! The winter sun is coming in differently through the windows since the solstice last month. I've been kind of chasing it around the house. Add to that the need to chase this kid around, and we've got the makings of a wild rumpus!


That hair. Oh, that hair! As momma, I know it needs a trim. As photog, I rejoice in its waviness.

Fabuloso at MRT

Merrimack Rep has a new play - Fabuloso by John Kolvenbach. Kyle Fabel directs, and Rebecca Harris, Amy Kim Waschke, Ed Jewett, and Jeremiah Wiggins play the parts. It was pretty zany, and I had a good time moving around to take the shots.

Here are the pix the theater chose for PR. I particularly like the first one, with Ed Jewett's arms flowing up out of the frame and the big, big belly helping push that "I'm crazy" vibe.
