A Blast From The Past

When Erik was in his toddler years he loved to line things up. Wherever he was he found a way to line things, but his most popular spot was going outside in our old house and using the drive way.





Yesterday I was just hanging out with the boys killing time before we headed out to dinner with some friends. I look at the train table and saw this.


It took me a while to figure it out. At first I thought he was just lining up the cars to play along the track like this brother. Elliot often learns things faster using his brother as an example. Then I started really looking at his work and figured out that he was stacking his cars like his brother use to do. Its funny because Carl and I were just talking about differences in Elliot and we both noticed a brain explosion that happened over the weekend. Then its Monday and here is the evidence of his progress. Its funny how you turn around and your kids just surprise you like that.

About Heather

My photo
I am a Los Angles based photographer and mom of 2 wonderful boys. Photography has been a passion of mine over 15 years now, ever since I picked up my first camera in journalism school and started developing my black and whites in a darkroom. The instant an affordable DSLR came out on the market in 2002, I had to have one and have been shooting digital since. Once I became a mom I realized how much I enjoy photographing children and how much better I could understand their nuances so it became a passion of mine. Their is such innocence and beauty in their pictures and I feel privileged to be a part of that. I am constantly trying new approaches and tuning my skills to create the art that is in my head, not just the art that I can create right now. I am very interested in off camera flash, and the depth and clarity it adds to my photographs. Sometimes I take breaks from my blog and photography, but it seems to never leave me completely. I always come back.
