Keepin' Up!

One year old and on the move. It was almost impossible to keep up with this kid! But, Aunt Hayley is determined. I don't get enough time with this little guy, so we need to make every minute count!




You again?

Never give up!


On the move.

Time to give up the camera, or put it away.

Lights, Camera, "Actions" and Baby Teagan

Once upon a time, I promised more photos of this beautiful, blue-eyed, bundle of boy. That was a little more than a month ago, and I bet he doesn't even look like this anymore. That makes me exceptionally sad, because this breath-taking little guy is my nephew, and he lives so very far away.
I never knew how "in love" a person could be with a child that was not her own. Now I do. I love this little guy.

Today I had the opportunity to play with a few new photoshop actions, and I decided that Baby Teagan would be my inspiration. The actions, by Paint the Moon Photography were....wait for it you fellow-photographers...FREE!! And, with breath-taking names like Sunny Days, Lemon-n-Honey, Sugar Cookies, Vanilla Pop, and Strawberries & Cream, how could they not make one swoon?

Here he is, in a few never-before-seen photos--Baby Teagan. Now, I miss him more than ever

Photostory Friday - Teagan and the Bear

Everybody has been sharing this story today, but I think it is time I told it exactly how it happened.

So, there I was, relaxing at my Mapa's and Papa's house.

I was kicked back, ya know? Airing out the piggies...

Now and then, I'd flash my baby blues at my Aunt Hayley's camera. She's a little crazy for the photos if you ask me.

I was starting to work in to my really great stuff. You know, a little smile here and there. I'm starting to figure out that adults need those cheap thrills, see?

It's worth it too. I get these killer rewards. My mom's smooches, for example. They're the best!

Back to my story.

So I was chillin', see? I had no worries. There were no wild animals in sight. (Well, okay, my cuddly giraffe was there.) Don't make anything of it.

Oh, and if you ask me, my cousin can get crazy sometimes. He's a little bit like a wild animal. But, I'm paying attention. I mean, he had some really cool moves that I might try when I'm a tad bigger.

I digress. The point is, I was the first one to see it! Something didn't seem quite right. I've never seen one before. But, I'm only two months old, and there are a lot of things I haven't seen.

Besides, like I said, I was really digging my mom's smooches.

The thing is, there it was... right in Mapa's front yard... less than fifteen feet away. A BEAR! No, not the kind that they shoved in my face when they put me in that basket (What the heck was that about anyway?). No, I mean a REAL BEAR.

Well, Mommy and Aunt Hayley were so quick to get away that Aunt Hayley left her zoom lens behind in the grass. (THAT'S how serious this was!) Nobody was going back for it any time soon, so this is the best photo she can offer.

Everybody hung out and watched the bear for a while. Then, my Daddy (the only brave one I think), scared it away. Daddy's cool. After that, I think the bear was all that anyone could talk about for hours. It must have been the most exciting thing to happen around here since, well, ME.

So, that's my story (the REAL story) and I am sticking to it.

He's Here!

No, I mean he's really HERE! And, since I only got about ten minutes with him and my camera, I'm going back for more! Look at him? How could I not? So, please check back later for more Baby Teagan!
