day in the life…chubby style

March 30, 2011

His day in the life images have been sitting on my computer for…ahem…eight months now.  I’ve given you my other boys’ day in the life HERE, HERE, and HERE, and now I’ve finally had time to sit down and go through my baby’s pictures from his special day.  At one year old, I tried to think of the best way to document a day in his life.  Well, turns out that babies that age can sit, lie, stand, sleep, eat, walk, crawl…doesn’st matter…they are JUST. SO. CUTE.  Soooo, I present to you…a day in the life of Beckham…or more commonly known as Beckingham Palace, Beckeroni and Cheese, Becks, Becker, B, and of course, Chubbs.

The day started out with a bath.  Ooooaaaaaoooo…hello baby Fu Man Chu…

He sooooo loves his blankets (there are 5 of them), stuffed monkeys, and older brother

Sleepy time (insert my relaxation breathing here)

Hanging out with brothers at a cider mill (THANK YOU MICHIGAN…best tradition EVER)

Someone forgot to tell Isaac that it is Beckham’s special day for pictures.  And, of course, no cider mill trip is complete without doughnuts and cider!  If it isn’t obvious from the way he is shoving that doughnut in, this kid LOVES food.

And finally, his big photo shoot to end his day.  Dreamy orchard.  Dreamy light.  Dreamy day. 

Love my baby more than life itself.  Happy one year little one.

day in the life

December 16, 2010

Ahhhhhh…finally. Finally I am caught up on work for 2010 and am able to share some of my personal projects. Some of you may remember when I started my Day in the Life project.  In a nutshell, I am a very busy photographer mommy with four children.  Those four children don’t get photographed very much these days (which makes that mommy very sad).  So that mommy decided to take one entire day (around each of their birthdays) and document them…as they are…doing what they love to do.  They get special treatment with extra video game time, extra yummy food, extra play time, and of course, a date with mommy.

I was first…and now I introduce K.

My oldest.

My mini-me…in looks and personality.

Words can not describe the bond and love I have for this kid.

He loves all things lego and has a tiny little collection…as you can see…

Definitely not my first choice of extracurricular activities for him, but alas, he loves video games.

Of course, with any boy, food is such an important part of life.  Especially the sort that is full of sugar.

This kid adores reading.  I’m embarrassed to admit that he can probably read faster and has read more books than me. 

These images (sniff) are hard to see (sniff) because they are physical (sniff) proof that my baby is truly growing up (snifffffffffff).

Our date consisted of a bike ride through the metro park and treats on the beach at sunset…

Thanks for spending a day with us.  His day is just another day for the rest of the world, but it means everything to me.  K.  10 years and 4 months old.

my project

April 5, 2010

So. I have a personal project. It’s just a little fellow of a project, but it is so needed right now in my days-and-weeks-that-fly-by-at-warp-speeds kind of life.

My kids mean everything to me. I want to remember everything (well, some things could be left out) about their childhood. I realized this as I looked over the other day and realized that I HAVE A TEN YEAR OLD CHILD. How and when in the world did that happen? Ten years come and gone…like THAT.

In steps photographer mommy. This is where I am supposed to shine, right? Photographing their every sweet smile, silly dance, or quirky moment. Excuses happen, laziness happiness, work happens, LIFE happens…and their smiles, dances, and moments don’t get photographed. But yet, it means so much to me and I never want to regret. Not even the tiniest of things.

But I have four. FOUR KIDS. That’s a lot of kids in my book. So, carrying around a camera and constantly taking pictures just ain’t going to happen…just keeping in real people. So. Back to My Project. It starts with an internal vow that I will take more everyday pictures of my kids. It ends with a promise that every year, around each of my children’s birthdays, I am their own little paparazzi for a day. I will document “a day in the life” of each of my children. I will capture them being them at that time in their life….which is exactly what I want. I love it because I get to hang out with them and photograph them while doing it…they love it because they get tons-o-mom attention, get to do things they love all day, and get to show off what they love doing.

So, without further adieu, I present…A day in the life of my two year old monkey…Little I.

Breakfast was important to capture as it is such an important part of I’s life.  That kid. LOVES. TO. EAT.

So in love with his blonde mess of a bedhead in the mornings.

Not potty trained yet, but at least he sits on it.  Baby steps people, baby steps.

Smiling and playing in the bath tub is a huge accomplishment…considering he would scream bloody murder for the first two years of his life while in the bath tub.  I said he loves food, not water.

Always want to remember his little voice asking us to read him a book.  3,067 times a day.

My momma heart is melting into a big pile of goo.

Showing off his sweet moves.

Heart.  Melting.  Again.

Thanks for spending a day with us.  His day is just another day for the rest of the world, but it means everything to me.  Little I.  2 years and 11 months.
