Riley(8) has always been into photography (really, always… since he was a toddler and we gave him one of our old cameras) and this summer he and I took three SLR camera classes together. He’s learning a lot, practicing a lot, and just entered his very first photo contest! He entered the MN Zoo Photo contest – and I think he has a good shot at winning the kid category!! He had so many excellent photos it was very hard for him to decide which to one to enter – check them out and I’m sure you’ll agree he is one talented little photographer! (=
UPDATE: He won! He was soo excited!! (=
Here is the photo he entered:
Here are some others he took:




At my "for pay" job I'm a Marketing Manager in the Yearbook industry - it's pretty fun as far as jobs go. But, what I REALLY like to do is spend time with my adorable boys - cooking, painting, creating, and making a mess. We thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite things on this blog. We hope you enjoy reading about our exploits, and maybe even take the time to try a few of them yourself. (=
