 This day was so much fun! There are so many photos I want to post- but I am slammed this week so they will have to wait. Katie, my amazing sidekick at Elizabeth Galecke Photography, is out on vacation, and I am trying to hold down the fort!

Tomorrow I have another shoot at the Gaddy Center- I am so excited. We had planned to only shoot Black and White, but the folks at Easter Seals UCP  decided they would like some color too, so I am heading back for more photographs of the sweet kids there.  I hope the weather cooperates!

On Monday my 10 year old nephew, Sawyer, is flying to Raleigh to stay with us for a week! I am sooooo excited! I will be juggling work and play all next week, it is going to be wonderful. Post any suggestions you might have for what to do with a 10 year old boy! We have planned so far an evening excusion to the Museum of Life and Science they are having a black light bug hunt on Saturday the 22nd! They even have entomologists on hand to help the kids identify the species! And then we are also checking out the new Harry Potter movie in 3D at Marbles/Imax Theater they are having a huge event on the 21st with magic, a theater group performance and games- sounds really cool for a kid who can’t get enough of Harry Potter! So that is a start, I think we will do a night of camping with some canoeing at Umstead, and he has requested sushi- so Sushi Blues is calling! We won’t be able to make it out of town this trip- but I think it is going to still be a blast! I can’t wait!

Easter Seals photo shoot today!

This morning I had a shoot for a project I am working with Easter Seals of North Carolina. I went over to the Charlie Gaddy Center- a center for children with disabilities. I photographed the sweetest, cutest kids! It happened to be “water day”  which meant all of the toddlers sported their cute little bathing suits and got to play outside in various water activities ranging from slip in slide, to sprinklers, to tubs of water just for splashing. I could have stayed there all day to photograph all of this.  I can’t wait to get the photos back from the lab! I think my favorite was the kids on the slip in slide- they would stand in the spray of water and just scream with delight- the light on the sprays of water, mixed with the exhilaration on their faces was so much fun to capture.  I love my job!
