In Pictures: Zboy

Zane is one of my most favorite subjects to capture because he is so expressive. Very much like me, he shows his emotions on his face. You know when he's happy, truly happy…or upset. And when he is just still and quiet and taking everything in, he's even more beautiful.

These are my favorite pictures of Zanie from this year. Over the next few days I'll be doing this with my other two boys, and will also share some random shots I enjoyed capturing.

{this was one of my very first pictures with the new camera. still playing with lighting and the settings.}

{he is so soft and those eyes do it to me every time.}

{he wasn't into the baby for the longest time. i captured a tender moment that was new to us. now he just adores his baby brother.}

{the open mouth, the eyes, the lashes, the hint of mud on his nose…all of it made for a great shot.}

{see. when he is happy you not only see it, you feel it!}

{i fess up, this might have been taken with my point and click camera. not all of my favorite pictures this year came from my DSLR. i *heart* this shot of my son. he looks like such a model here.}

Pictures make me happy. They give me the precious opportunity to relive moments I'd otherwise forget. And I never want to forget any of them.
