Working hard | Bay Area child photography

I’ve been such a slacker in the blog department! So many sessions I haven’t shared. I’ll do better. I think. I hope. But no promises, because these last few weeks of school are always nuts. I love it, but I’m looking forward to the relaxed, schedule-less, do-what-we-want summer hours. In the meantime… check out this...

Big Milestone for me…

So… today, my baby turned FIVE. I think that means he’s not a baby anymore. Here he is rocking the fauxhawk. It’s his favorite hairdo. The other day, he was refusing to come to the gym with me, but when I told him he could wear a fauxhawk to the gym, he suddenly was excited...

Brenda Miles - I’m sure he wouldn’t appreciate this, but I’ve always thought he was so pretty. He was only 2 when we met him. I’m not sure I’m okay with how fast time is flying by. Oh, well. Happy Birthday Buddy!

michelle - shannon, I haven’t seen you guys in a long time. Franklin lost his babiness. (if that is a word) He looks like a kindergartener. Ahhh….I miss you guys.

Kaija - thank you for sharing these thoughts and fabulous photos of your “assistant”. as one who hopes and prays to soon be able to begin the journey that you are transitioning out of, your words bless me. i love your descriptions (especially of the dessert at the end of a long meal) and your sincerity and honesty. i know we don’t know each other that well, but i love following your blog and am blessed by your images and your words. thank you. (and one of these days, i’m going to book a session with you! i am saving up!)

Laurissa - Wow, that was a fast 12 years. It’s worth having four just so you can enjoy the last one, I guess (ha, ha). Thanks for the reminder to enjoy all the “lasts.” When I read your post about Franklin starting college I’ll know I’m old . . . wait that’s only another 12 years!

Hilary - Oh man, I still think of him as a baby.
Really, I think it’s time you had another. It’s just so much fun.
At least the photography’s great. :)

kent - Wow – those pictures make him look even older. Wow hard to imagine that when we first met we both had two and well..I still have two but you have 4!

Stefani - Look a the little guy! What a cutie. Loving the freckles, he didn’t have those last time I saw him. I hear ya on the whole “baby” thing. Luckily there are always new things to replace those that they don’t do anymore.

melissa deakin - hi shannon,
i remember when we made PK Power Team, I think you were pregnant with Franklin. it seems impossible that it was 5 years ago.
he is so beautiful and grown up looking.
i love the hair!
you have accomplished so much and you should be so proud of yourself and your beautiful family!

davina - Shannon, you crack me up with the all about me post. I feel your pain. And thanks to you I just read that this is my last month with just Grace at home! I hadn’t even realized that! And then she goes to kindergarten ALL day in the fall. ugh. I don’t know how I’m going to make it through…and now, Nikki says I’ll be bummed for a month.

On another note… :) I love all of these pictures of your little mister! What a fun little photo shoot, great light, awesome expressions and fun-ness (I don’t think that’s a real word…)
