It’s been a long week for this DFW newborn photographer.
My son had a great start back to school last week, so we are beginning to resettle into the old routines. I am so glad that he reports having a great day every time I pick him up, and that he has some old and new friends in his class and likes his teacher. Such a relief to know that when he is away from our home that he is well taken care of and enjoying learning.
In addition to back to school last week, we also have the start of college football!! If you know me at all, then you ought to know that I am a huge LSU fan, as that’s where I did my undergrad. I love me some Tigers, and the first game of the season usually coincidences with my birthday weekend. This year it was on my birthday eve, so I was really, really excited. Unfortunately, the Tigers lost in a rather unsettling way and I am still a little depressed about that so let’s not talk about it too much.
My actual birthday was on Sunday, so I had family over and did the whole cake thing. Today it’s back to the regular work week and I got to photograph Baby Cameron, who was the sweetest lil’ munchkin.
Here’s a look at what else we were up to last week.
DFW Newborn Photographer | Project 365 | Week 36
244/366: A little after school snack time.
245/366: A surprise rain shower followed by a gorgeous rainbow. My son and I went for a bike ride and turned around at some point to see this vibrant rainbow. By the time we got home and I was able to nab my camera, the rainbow wasn’t as clear and I wasn’t in as great of a viewing spot, but it was still so pretty. Holden was super excited, because I don’t think he remembers ever having seen a rainbow before.
246/366: After a successful week back at school, we celebrated with some jump time at the trampoline place.
247/366: My boy loves riding his bike, but Texas doesn’t usually get the memo that it’s fall until sometime in November. We usually ride first thing in the morning if it’s not a school day. This boy took a 3 mile bike ride without a single complaint, which I think is pretty legit for a 4 year old. I love that he’s old enough now to actually do this stuff with me. So cool!
248/366: Birthday!! Some pretty flowers from my boys. My husband also got me the best gift—a new camera lens. Whoever said diamonds are a girl’s best friend was clearly not a photographer. We usually don’t do big gifts, and this wasn’t a milestone birthday for me, so it was really shocking that he went all out like that. Can’t wait to try out the new lens, I’m sure I’ll have some images taken with it for next week.
249/366: The hubs went back to work for Labor Day, go figure. It was just me and the little guy. We did some swimming, the splash park, a grocery run and then spent the rest of the day coloring and hanging out together. Plus, I am not going to lie I bought him some new colors but really I just wanted them for myself because it doesn’t feel like September without opening a fresh box of Crayolas.
250/366: Sleepy dog with a case of the Mondays on a Tuesday.
