Holiday Gift Idea : Use Pictures Of Your Kids
Saturday, December 01, 2012
If you're a parent of small children, then this is for you. Undoubtedly you've spent much of the year photographing your children with your iPhone. So much of the time those pictures are relegated to the computer or to Facebook. Here's an easy holiday gift idea. Select some of those pictures and use them in a photo calendar. Your family will love it! Tip: You can make beauitful photo calendars for under $10 at Costco.com. Here are some of my favorite kid pictures of the year. No, they weren't made using my iPhone, but if you don't have a regular camera? Then iPhone pictures will work great. — Sean

We are six weeks into summer vacation and already it's been a whirlwind. In June, Sean and I traveled to the Chesapeake Bay, just across from Annapolis. Sean photographed 
two weeks with my family. I grew up on a small farm in the North Country with my brother and two sisters. My parents own a cider business, they keep an Apple orchard and watch after a donkey, a small herd of goats and some chickens. It's the PERFECT place for small children. I brought one camera and one lens on our trip and we made some really fun summertime adventure photographs. If you want good photographs of your children, then take it from me,
it's important to engage them and participate in their activities right along with them. You have more fun too! Here are a few pictures from the last six weeks including some from our trips to Maryland and New Hampshire. Oh, and one more thing... whenever you travel keep it light. Getting through airport security with three small children by yourself is reason enough for just one camera and one lens:) — Cathy
My daughter's first-grade class at Manitou Springs Elementary School held their annual Tea Party last Friday. Children practice their manners and get to enjoy tea and treats with special guests. A big thank you to Manitou Springs Elementary for allowing me to attend the Tea Party. If you're a parent of a first-grader, please email me directly for a link to a private gallery of all of the pictures. You can download and print the images at no charge. — Sean
