Mom-tography Workshop

I got the best birthday present ever!  I attended a mom-tography workshop hosted by a couple of local photographers I love (Jamie Frayser Photography and Precious Encounters Photography)!  I have always wanted to learn more about my camera I got a couple of years back for my birthday and this was just what I needed.  It was focused on getting your camera out of auto and into manual....all those who attended were moms wanting to take better pictures of their kids.  I have SO much to learn, but I also know I learned more in those 4 hours than I did in 2 years on my own.  So much fun!  Can't wait to learn more.  I feel like I have been bitten by the photography bug ;)  Here are some pics I took at the second half of the session....they had us bring in our own kiddos to practice on.

Mom, I am done!

White Belt

Erin was promoted to a white belt after completing her karate enrichment program at school. So proud of you, Erin!  Your karate moves were super cute!

The hair....

Trick-Or-Treat

What an awesome Halloween the kids had!  The fun started on Wednesday when Erin had her parade at school, class party, trick-or-treating at Daddy's work, and then finally....the Monster Mash.  A school dance for Elementary school?  It was so cute!  Luckily, Erin had the next 2 days off to recover and prep for the real deal.  Trick-or-treating.  We first stopped by a Halloween party at her friend's house and then headed over to Tejon St.  I know I've said this before, but our neighborhood is the best!  People go all out over here.  The kids loved it, but I am worried a few of the displays may give them nightmares in the future.  Oops!
