He is Three

If you've spent any time checking out this blog over the last few years, you've definitely seen shots of my good buddy, Mr. T, along with his little brother and his awesome parents. I've been fortunate enough to photograph this little dude several times, and I thoroughly enjoy every minute of every session. He is a true gem.

Mr. T is three now, and we marked the occasion with a little walk around downtown. He was in a great mood and we got lots of fun shots -- a success all the way around. Here are a handful...

Popping Up for a Sec

This time of year is just... nutty. Crazy. Overwhelming, at points.

The truth is, I can't point to any one major event and blame it for the way I'm feeling. It's just the cummulative effect of a million little details needing my attention.

Hopefully I'll have my head on straight again sometime soon. Until then, here's a goofy girl caught in a goofy shot.

Anyone Up For a Game?

Hey. Hey you.

Do you remember me? The Clausen family dog, Stella? (Well, there's that other dog who claims that he's the "original" Clausen family dog, but whatever. I could eat that guy for lunch.)

I've been accused of being a lazy sack of potatoes -- mostly by people who don't have a clue. I'm actually peppy, spunky and downright ATHLETIC.

Anyone up for a game of baseball?





How about a light saber war?



Hula hooping?


What?


Am I doing this wrong?



I have some serious leaping skills, which are bound to help out with this jumprope...



Now that's a workout. (Pant, pant.) Think I could get a gig as a personal trainer? I rock at circuit training.

Spunky Monkey

Last weekend I met up with a family that included the cutest, spunkiest girl I've met in awhile (maybe ever!). She had more energy in her little toe than I have in my whole body, and I wish so much that I could've bottled it and taken it home.

She also loved to run, climb, swing -- you name it. She'd probably be right at home in a jungle tree. :)
