"Elliot Two Years Old"

I am a broken record because I have mentioned this book several times already, but its a very exciting time when a new book arrives. My kids both independently jumped up and down for joy when they found out it came in the mail and keep taking it out of the book shelf to look at it. Although this book is all about Elliot, it means so much more than, that its about memories. By spending so much effort to make these books I am keeping their childhood memories strong. Also to be honest it is worth it because I take so many pictures and high quality pictures, what else am I going to do with them? They get lost in a blog, a photo album isn't that personal or good for display, so these books are a perfect compromise. In my mind they are worth every single second I spend on them and can't wait to create more. I have already started on Erik's 4 year old book.

Here are the kids reading the book.

I love that Elliot has a smile when looking at a picture and a memory.

If you are curious what the final result looked like and can't come visit my house to see it on the nice professional paper printed out in gorgeous book format, here is a good alternative. I swear, the book version is so much better though so come over and check it out!!

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.
