I count myself very fortunate to be an at home mom to my almost 3 yr old boy.  

Never for one second before I had him did I think I'd be an at home mom.

Once a devoted, career focused, stressed out working girl

(Social Work to be exact)

I never thought I'd give that up.

BUT

I get to see every moment of my boy's life.

I love it.

He's growing up too fast not to be there.

I was with him at his gymnastics class on Monday,and I was running along side him while he was blissfully 

doing his version of gymnastics with the biggest smile on his face.

I realized these little things are big things.

These are the little moments I want to cherish.

And savour in the moment.

So I did.

I just watched his joyful, youthful smile that was totally focused on the sheer bliss of the moment.

And that was an amazing little (BIG) moment.

Reading a recent photography site, they asked about everyone's photography inspiration.  I wish I could say it's my 2 1/2 year old son, but most days it's not- because he is so tired of me taking his picture that he generally hides, or rolls his little bitty toddler eyes when I come with the camera.

But

the other day I did capture a few keepers.

And I got to thinking, that although he loathes the camera- he is my inspiration for everything.  He's not my muse (haha as if) but he's my inspiration.  He's everything.

What's your inspiration??

Do you have a muse?

My Boy.

2  1/2 yrs old.

Love him.

There seems to be sessions where I feel like I've hit my stride.  This was one of my favorite sessions.  Mom and her adorable little guy were so much fun and open to trying lots of things.  Here are some of my favorite images from this session.
