Happy Father’s Day to all Dads, Step-Fathers, Grandfathers, and especially First Time Fathers!

Happy Father's Day!

This is a special day to recognize how much you mean to the family.  Thanks for all you do, from 2:00 a.m. feedings to mowing the lawn, to babysitting the grand-kids, know that you are appreciated and loved.  Have a great day and make some memories on this Father’s Day – We Love You!

Watch this funny video and see Mom’s reaction when her baby panda sneezes.

Great video of a baby, a dog, and a balloon – this is precious!

If you are a stay at home parent working from home on the Internet, this post is for you. It is not easy managing work and children, especially newborns.  So, I want to share a great site with you I just fond.  It’s called Expired Domains and it lists thousands of expired domain names all in one place.  There is a good search engine that can also be used simply for inspiration, depending upon what your business is on the Internet.

The air is getting chilly – its time to start bundling up your baby.  This is a great opportunity to get creative.  Take some cute pictures of you little bundle of joy snuggling up and keeping warm as the weather starts to get cold.  Share your favorite images in the comments section below!

Have you ever considered turning your baby’s picture into Photo Stampss?  What a great way to coordinate your birth announcements!  Its also a great idea to make it a tradition.  Think about how fun it would be to do this every year – for example for baby’s first birthday party, and so on.  I also like the idea of using photo stamps for Christmas Card mailings.  Have you ever used this kind of service?  If so, please leave a comment of your experience with photo stamps!

It is summer in the northern hemisphere and a great time to capture baby’s first vacation in photos and video. The first year of life is a year full of firsts. There are so many experiences we take for granted that your baby will experience for the first time this year. As they grow some experiences will seem new as they might not remember encountering them this first year. This is all the more reason why you should take pictures of as many new experiences your baby is exposed to.

There are cameras that are specifically designed to be used around the sand and water. One of those cameras is the Olympus Stylus 1050 SW. I have the Olympus Stulys 1030 SW and love it! This little camera fits easily into a bag or purse and can take great photos as well as videos. You can bring it into the water up to several feet below the surface. What a great way to capture the look on your baby’s face the first time you carry them into the ocean, lake, or pool.

Feel free to share your baby’s first photos of summer vacation with us!

Springtime Baby photos are a beautiful reminder of new life and the hope for a better world. Consider taking some photographs of your new baby with some cutting from the garden. In fact, you might even consider taking your little one outside by the garden and snapping some images of your baby along side your blooming garden. Isn’t that a beautiful thought? New life and the promise of growth and better, more beautiful things to come in the future. It is a subtle message in a really attractive picture. Feel free to leave your comments below and even some images.

Every baby is beautiful. Capture the fleeting moments no matter what your personal situation is. Love is love.

Sometimes the best children’s photographers are right under the same roof as the baby.  Yes, I’m talking about your own family.  Who else is as connected to your new bundle of joy than his or her own family?  And who else knows them better as they grow?  There is an intuition and an anticipation that develops after living with someone over time.

Babies are so beautiful and they grow so fast.  Preserve these precious memories with portraits.  It doesn’t have to be fancy or even professional.  Think of it as a personal history book.  And you are already missing the first chapter.  So, get to work; start recording those simple moments.  Get in the habit of snapping shots often.  When friends come to visit, take their picture with your newborn.  When family comes to visit (and help!) take their picture.  This is one time where quantity is almost as important as quality.  Remember, it’s like, “shots on goal.”  The more pics you take, the more chance you will capture a golden moment.

Enjoy!

The last nine months may have dragged on, but I promise you, the next nine months are going to fly by quickly.  Don’t miss a moment; get those newborn portraits taken right away!
