Ryan's Best Buddy

My 4-year-old had a playdate yesterday with his buddy, who happens to be incredibly photogenic!

My Guys

I was dying to try my new brown muslin backdrop so I dragged my guys into the studio a couple weeks ago. Boy, are they tough. But at least I got something. Bribing with Hershey's Kisses is usually what I resort to! And I love the brown - nice warm alternative to black and grey.

Ryan's Dimple

I visited my best friend Carolyn's house last night and brought these tulips - they're her favorite flower and mine too. I liked the way they looked in a vase by the window. I didn't have a flash or a tripod so I bumped up the ISO and had a really shallow depth of field. (One of these days I'll learn to use a flash -- but right now, it always seems to ruin my pictures!)
