The cake ended up in other places besides the mouth :-)
3 more years and she will be driving :-(

Daughter Turns 13!
My one and only daughter turned 13 this past weekend. I'm not ready for this!! She is a really great kid but come on now... I'm not ready for having a teenager :-( She's excited though and we had a lot of fun on her birthday. Thanks Kim! For letting us use your pool and letting Kenna hang around one of her best friends :-)
One of my issues with her becoming a teenager is her starting to wear makeup!

Photographing Kids
Hi All,
Kids are a lot of fun but very challenging when it comes to photographing. The most important tips I can give when photographing kids is that 1) you have to get down to their level (or lower). At the very least, don't just stand at your normal height to take the photos. To be different, getting really low or really high angles can really help your photos stand out. 2) Take photos with a partner. I am fortunate that my wife (also my best friend) is very good with the camera. She is also very good with people and why I find myself "getting into the zone" as my wife will point out, she is busy either communicating with our clients or taking photos from off angles.
We try not to pose kids. We let them do what they want to do and follow them around, capturing the moment as it happens. Dad was having some fun here :-)
At the other side of the court yard, Michelle was capturing the same moment from a different angle.
While I was taking photos of little E walking to mom and dad, Michelle was off to the side again, getting some great shots.
Can't get much lower then this :-)
