More of...guess who

So, is anyone sick of pictures of Kayl yet?!?!?! If you are, then I'm sorry, because he is not going anywhere! I have kind of been using him lately, in a good way. I am really trying to get over my self-doubt when it comes to my photography. I feel like I have a long way to go before I get to where I really want to be. In the meantime, I am making no excuses in trying to better myself in this regard. I am really trying to challenge myself. I am trying out different locations, different lighting situations, different backgrounds for my mock indoor studio, etc. This can be challenging as I would like to be a solely "natural light photographer." This means that I work on location, with available light. I'm not too into studio posed photography, I think that anyone who wants that could go anwhere to get that done. There is something so much more organic about natural light. I am working on a logo, blog, and business cards which I may be asking your opinion on in the near future. I know it is weird but I really don't want to do it for money, it is just something that I really enjoy doing. I have definately realized that I want to try and stick to doing children/families more than anything. I think now that I have my own kids, I know more the kind of things that parents especially want captured in their pictures. So, if you know of anyone who is looking for a photographer(in progress), please let me know:) Here are a few pictures that I took of Kayl today, in some random alley. Also, it is definately a work in progress, and most of the pictures on there you have seen here already, but my photography blog is www.photographybyeden.blogspot.com Check back because hopefully it will look a lot more "professional" soon.

Thank you Uncle Aaron, Aunt Jennifer, Landon & Ewan for our new outfits! We got A LOT of compliments at the meeting today :)

It could happen to you.

My blue eyed boy....

is getting his first haircut soon, so I wanted to get a couple last photos of his wild and crazy hair.

I never want to forget...

how peaceful he looks when he sleeps. And oh how I love those lips.

Mexico #2

So A few weeks back, my brother Dustin, the boys and I were able to make the trip to Mazatlan, Mexico to visit my parents. We really had an amazing time, and REALLY enjoyed the warm weather. I was really nervous about traveling so far with both boys, as this was the first time since Elijah was a newborn that we have flown anywhere. Surprisingly, it was not as bad as I thought it would be. The layover in LA was the hardest, becuase we had about 4 hours to kill. Elijah and I rode up and down the escalator about 1,872 times. That kept us busy for a couple of hours :) Be prepare for A LOT of pictures, and even more to come! **By the way, they are all out of order because it is a mixture of all of our pictures. Some of them are also sideways. I don't have the patience to fix them right now, so please bear with me:)

My mom is so creative...this was their bathtub. They loved it!

My Dad carried Kayl in the Baby Bjorn everywhere! It was awesome.

This is their living room. My mom did the red painting of a sunset. This picture really doesn't do it justice.

Right after we landed, we went and ate at this beautiful golf course. Elijah was very excited to see Papa and GG.

Kayl's face was covered in sand! You'll see why when I post the pictures that I took of the boys on the beach.

I always wanted at least one girl!

We went to the aquaruim there, the boys loved it.

Elijah was quite a hit in Mexico. The ladies all picked him up, or at least rubbed his head.

These are some friends that came over to play cards.

Kayl doesn't cry much, but he screamed every time we would take him out of the sink!

See, I told you they liked to rub their heads!!
