Field of Fun...

Here's my little man jumping in a nearby field...I can't believe he's going to be 5 in 2 short months!
Other parents have warned that these early years go by so fast, I never could relate...until now. Sometimes I wish I could freeze time, but these pictures will have to suffice.
Thank you Tyler for being my precious boy.

New Name! Kara May Photography!!

My art and business is growing and evolving rapidly. As such my business name has changed to allow room for this growth and fun new things in the works. My focus is still children, but I have some other ideas and plans that I'm working on. You will see changes to my blog, and my website during this transition. Please bear with me during this exciting time of change. My new URL is www.karamayphotography.com . Thank you!

Feeling the music

We woke up this morning and cooked our weekend breakfast of pancakes with fresh cut fruit. In the background daddy had his Ipod going and the kids were dancing in their chairs to the music. I love that they have such a connection with music. When a country song came on daddy took my hand and asked me to dance - I danced. Once the song ended Tyler asked if we could play another 'cowboy song'. He ran upstairs and got his cowboy hat and began dancing, Brielle saw and joined him. It was so cute to see him mimic daddy and I dancing by spinning Brielle around. I grabbed my camera that was sitting nearby and got these pictures - not the best quality or composition but at least I caught a little bit of that moment.

Eerie August Morning

Finally, it started cooling down a bit here in the South. I think we’re to normal temperatures for this time of the year…whew! Last night we had some much needed rain and with that came thunderstorms and a lightening show. It made for a fun night actually. Around 8pm it hit our area and the kids were cozy in their p.j’s jumping around with excitement. I was trying to submit an order when they came running in to ask me to watch the ‘show’ with them. Daddy had laid blankets on the floor with pillows in the bonus room and we all laid together listening to the ‘boomer’s’ and watching the lightening show. Every time the room lit up from the lightening, Brielle would say ‘oh awesome, wasn’t that awesome?’ And Tyler kept saying ‘Isn’t this the best show ever?’ It was a memory that I’ll always remember… we were so comfortable and peaceful we all almost fell asleep there for the night.
Anyway, the grass was wet from the rains last night, so Brielle wasn’t real excited for me to have her out on the grass this morning for these shots. These are the only 2 I snapped before she hurried to the house saying ‘Okay, I’m all done, bye momma, Briella’s all done, okay’ She’s definately a girl who knows what she wants and what she doesn’t want.

One Little Monkey Jumping on the Bed...

Thankfully she didn't fall off and bump her head. While her big brother was at a birthday party, Brielle decided to play in his room. He has always encouraged her to jump on the bed (the two of them together) even though I've told them that it's dangerous and guided them down. Now this has become Brielle's 'thing' when she goes into Tyler's room to play. It's a battle I don't know if I can win...

My World with Kids...

This morning I was looking around the house with the thought of 'organization'. Having two young children makes this a challenge. My house is a world of metallic sparkling hotwheels, plastic action figures, undressed baby dolls, random game pieces, princess dress up clothes, colorful markers, well used play-doh, books upon books and many other all well loved items.
But this is the world I live & love...
