Lately, I have been really inspired by alot of my photographer friends to hone in and sharpen up on my photography skills. I truly believe with with focus, research and more time with the camera in my hand I can make heaps of improvement and even WOW myself. My Camera of choice currently is a Canon EOS 40D.I Love, Love, Love it! I have a variety of lenses to work with and thought I should get them out an play.So over the weekend Me and the Kids had a little fun! Photo shoot fun that is. Here are a few shots of the Kids I took on Saturday!





Shawn he really is a great Model! The camera Loves him!





He is modeling a New Toddler Snap shirt from Kait Emerson Designs. You can purchase here in my Etsy Shop

Kait was really excited to wear this dress.. A-line Tunic Dress in Tattoo also available in the shop. She just rocks the hat too! Too Cute!




Stay tuned for some more Rock and Tattoo inspired KED clothing. I've got some new Designs up my sleeve for Fall..

I know, I know I am way behind in updating the Blog. I've been taking a little time away from Kait Emerson to spend a little more time with the kids & family. The Family & I spent the Memorial Day weekend at my parents vacation home at the Colorado River in Arizona.This was really our 1st trip away with the kids. Spite the 5 hour car ride getting there; they absolutely LOVED it!










Shawn was just thrilled to ride in the Polaris.



Kait, the thrill seeker had no fear riding in the boat. Shawn he didn't really care for the loud engine.



We all had a a very nice weekend enjoying time together in sunshine out on the boat relaxing with our family. I really didn't know what to do with myself having no sewing machine to run to. I can't remember the last time I went w/out sewing for 3 days. I'm not use to sitting around relaxing; I recall telling my Mom. "I'm kinda bored. and don't know what to do with myself". No sewing machine or PC. I was way out of my element. I really couldn't sit still.

So back home and ready dig in and get back to work.

April 20,2009

Unfortunately, that past several days everyone in my household (for the exception of me) has had the awful case of the flu. Boy has it been exhausting with 2 toddlers both sick.. Thanks goodness & a big sigh of relief they're getting over it. After being cooped up in the house for 4 days I thought it would be nice to get the kids out for some fresh air. We headed down to the beach to have a little fun in the Sun..

Here are a few shots...
