A couple of my daughter

Most of the time, I feel I’m too busy to actually photograph my own daughter. That’s why I’m so thankful for Heather taking up the slack, learning photography, becoming an amazing photographer and taking loads of photographs of Alana. But every once in a while, I’m in the right spot to photograph her and I wanted to share three with everyone!

While I was shooting some headshots of Paul Baswell (pics coming soon), Alana, Heather, Pauls sister Christen hung out at the Aquarium and Alana felt right at home in the water. Soon Heather stripped her down and Alana got a REALLY soaked diaper.

Check out how saggy this diaper is! haha. I’ve heard of stories of those things bursting if enough water gets into them. Fortunately, that didn’t happen.

The next day, I got a photo of her in this, uh, field really close to our home. The grass was about as tall as her! I love my little Alana so much. She’s the coolest kid in the world!

Heather, Amber, Alana and I got to go to the Aquarium on Saturday morning. Taking advantage of our new membership! In one trip, we nearly paid for our membership fee. And we can go as much as we like for a whole year. What an amazing deal the membership is. Also, since we got the membership, we don’t feel pressured to do both buildings. We can take our time at one building and not feel rushed.

Since the last time the family went to the Aquarium, I had to leave early for a photoshoot so this time, I brought my full arsenal of camera equipment to document our experience. With some of the pictures below (I believe around 10), I also created wallpaper for you guys to enjoy! Just download the appropriate link below the picture and enjoy!

This little showoff would hang onto the branch with just his beak. Then he’d get back on the branch and take a bow to his audience. It was fun to watch!

Penguins! This was the first time I’ve seen the penguins and they were really active! So fun!

Ooooo… scary!

Then we got to go to the new jellyfish exhibit. It has only been around for a week. Jellyfish are some of the most beautiful creatures. I wish there was a lucrative job photographing jellyfish. But only if I’m safe behind glass from them though. If anyone knows a job opening with those specifications, please let me know!

Such a cool room here. Hundreds of jellys. All so beautiful.

Look at these cute little guys. Next time I go, I’m going to read more about them. We were too busy taking pics and chasing Alana around!

The look on Alana’s face most of the time. She loves the aquarium!

I saw this cool opportunity for a photo so I grabbed it. Sweet family. I gave her my business card so she could contact me for these photos… hopefully she does! I love this photo!

Outside, this guys was playing the steel drum and had a table full of instruments for people to play along with him. I was an idiot and focused on Alana without getting the whole scene for you to enjoy. Lesson learned. But hope you enjoy!

Thanks for checking it out and I hope you enjoy some new wallpaper for your computer!
