My mother is a stickler for making things fair. She had three kids, so her life was filled
with, "But she has one!" and "If he can, why can't I?" She always made sure that
what she did for some, she did for all. I wanted to do the same with my kids- mini personal
photo albums of their first 3 years, their own scrapbooks, and for my mom, a small
collage of each of my boys when they were around 4 months.
I was just starting photography school when my oldest was born and let's just say, he got used to the camera pretty quickly. These were shot on black and white film with a Pentax camera my mom and dad had just given me for Christmas. Check out the blanket "backdrop"!
We continued the tradition with my little guy, mostly because my mother didn't want him
to think she loved my oldest more than him, but I was happy to oblige.
And now, with the addition of a granddaughter, did you really think I'd get away scott free?
She came to visit me, so naturally, we turned babysitting into a photoshoot!

I love seeing not only the three grandbabies on her wall, but the progression of my
photography since the beginning. Hard to believe it's been eight years since I began my journey! I hope that more adorable faces will be added to "Mimi's" wall in the near future!
