I have fallen behind on posting portraits this week. I have donated my office to my wife for her classroom for home school days for the boys. The moving of books and bookshelves and desks has consumed my days.

Today is Charlotte's 4th birthday and so today is a portrait of her. She is a wonderful little girl who is wonderfully crazy! She taxes us from time to time but I wouldn't want her any other way. It's her world, we are just living in it.  Happy Birthday baby girl!

Saturday found us at a birthday party. A wonderful little girl named Eva turned five and we were happy to be a part of the celebration. Eva's little sister, Isobella, was in the midst of the cacophony of kids gathering up the spoils of the pinata. What is a more natural environment for a child that her sister's birthday party, surrounded by friends, family, and candy?

Yeah, so for those who are paying attention, I did not post a portrait yesterday. As it turns out, falling asleep in your easy chair is not conducive to editing and posting a portrait.

So I am starting a new theme for the next set of pictures. The last set were leaned towards natural light (expect for Jonathan's basketball portrait). The theme for this next set with be portraits of people in their environment. I decided to test this theme with me, sitting at my desk in my classroom.  It's a start. We'll see where it goes from here.
