Perfect View With Daddy: #MySundayPhoto – 04.26.15

It was storming all day and finally let up before the sun was completely set. My wife, Avery, and I walked out front of our house to soak in the beautiful sunset as the clouds finally broke.

Again, big thanks to my lovely wife for capturing these lovely pictures of daddy and daughter watching the sun make way for the moon.

She wasn’t happy with the port-a-potty in the background, but I think the beauty of everything else far outweighs the portable toilet. But, as I’ve been doing, I must share one more pic, and it does not have the blue plastic john in it’s range. Again, thank my wife for keeping it out of this one.

How have storms been in your area?

Don’t you just love the after-storm calmness?

Getting Over Sickness: #MySundayPhoto – 04.18.15

It’s been a hectic week with Avery experiencing her worst sickness and fever yet. All of the life was drained out of our highly energetic toddler and all she wanted to do was have Mommy and Daddy hold her close.

The cuddles are priceless, but never under these circumstances. Thankfully, our little girl’s fever finally dropped and she gradually became her normal, crazy self. I attribute a lot of her recovery to my wife’s “boob milk” because there’s nothing better in terms of nutrition and comfort.

Before she was fully recovered, I was able to snap a few photos of Avery while she remained motionless. It was sad to see her this way, but at the same time, so nice to have the opportunity to take pictures of toddler that isn’t constantly on-the-go! Is that wrong of me? I hope not!

Anyway, here’s one close-up of I think captures the life slowly coming back into Avery. The picture isn’t as clear as I’d hope, but you can almost see her recovery just from her eyes alone. No editing for this one.

Do you “take advantage” of cuddling with your kids when they are sick?

Have you ever used their sick, immobile state to snap a few easy pictures?

Blinded By Happiness: #MySundayPhoto – 04.12.15

I’ve fallen behind on the amount of pictures I take of Avery this week. This is both a good and bad thing, but mostly good.

Bad in the sense that I don’t have as many pictures to choose from for #MySundayPhoto, but good (if not great) because I spent more time just playing with Avery instead of sticking a camera in her face.

Sometimes I think we all forget the most important part is time, and we don’t need 100+ pics a day. I know it’s hard, but so worth it. Now if only I can do better about this from now on….

But it’s hard when you capture your kid beaming with delight and not a worry in the world, isn’t it? Here’s one I snapped of Avery being “blinded by happiness”.

The quality wasn’t that great to start with, as it was fairly dark and grainy. I think with the exposure adjustment and sepia combo, it turned out pretty good. Please check out the original below and let me know what you think.
