Eva’s sleeping, Jane’s out shopping, and it’s just me and Emily at home. It’s just me, Emily, and my camera. It’s actually just me, the Emster, my camera, and my packs. For reals this time, it’s just me, the Emster, my camera, my packs, AND A CUP FULL OF GITSOMEPICTURESDONE!

Eva’s lesson for the day: If you take a long nap, then no pics for you.

Here’e a quick sneak peek into what we’re up to this weekend. Location scoping! Hopefully the winds die down a bit and I can get some lights out here today…



… and here’s the rest of what happened day. We had a little fun while looking for locations…

1. For those of you that ask me why I don’t shoot with any telephoto, here you go. The 70-200 makes it’s yearly appearance…


2. Back to the wideness we go!


3. Chasing Eva while running down hill with a camera never ends well.


4. Eva chasing me uphill while holding a camera never ends well either.


So we didn’t get a chance to go back to hills. The winds were howling and I honestly didn’t feel like turning my octabox into a rather expensive kite. I couldn’t let a full charge on the packs goto waste of course, so out to the front of the house we went! BTW, the answer is yes. Our neighbors think we are completely insane.

5. BOOOO


6. YAAAA


7. INYOFACEEEEEEE


8. Eva was completely pooped and/or bored. Most likely bored…

As promised, my acrobatic super ninja daughter…

1. The warm up…


2. NINJA START!


3. NINJA CLIMB!


4. NINJA REST!

We had our good friend Erik over a few weekends ago and we took him out our favorite park to do a quick behind the scenes on how weeeeeeeeeeeeez do them pictures here. Here’s a few quick snippets from the early morning. Part II with my acrobatic older daughter to come later this week…

1. We were supposed to be taking pics of Eva, but how could I resist this?


2. When posing takes a bad turn…


3. Who is that guy kissing Emily? I don’t think I’ve seen him on this blog in like.. ever?


4. Those shoes are so built into her socks btw…


5. What more could I possibly ask for?

Once again, this is a post from a while back… but whattayagonnado… i’m still sticking to my two posts per week promise

1. She’s not in trouble, she’s just bored. Eva sorta sad…


2. A bunch of other little kids rode by and forgot to say hi back. Eva really sad..


3. Eva had to sit for a picture. Eva hecka sad…


4/5. Eva likes her buggy, and her “ugly-face” - not to be confused with her “sucky” face.


6. At least someone in the family has big eyes…


7. The kids rode by again and said hi this time.


8. Emi-Wan Kanobe

Here’s a few snaps I missed from the last few months years. The first being a few weeks after Eva’s birthday and the latter being Eva’s bday… duh…

HELP MEEEEEEEE!!!!

I’m still sticking to my promise of 2 posts per week until I’m caught up a bit more here. I’m up to the end of April now..

After a nice trip to curry house, we thought it would be nice to visit the Cupertino central Memorial park. We had awesome food in our belly, it was an awesome day, and a duck/swan thing bit Eva’s finger cause she wouldn’t listen to me while feedin’ the ducks…

1. Eva was happy going down the slide…


2. …and then she met the duck/swan thing…


3. …and spent the rest of the time at the park in a ball thing…


4. …but all is better once you have grandpa next to you.
