A couple of months ago, I took photos of Isabella when she performed with her dance group in Pismo Beach (http://owenphotographie.blogspot.com/2007/05/test_29.html). This month, I had the priviledge once again, to take her photos and it seems like she has already grown so much in such a small amount of time.

Somebody once asked me, why do I "have" to take so many photos? Well, aside from the fact that that is what I do and love to do, I find that time goes by so much faster with children. They are wiggly little babies one day and gleeful pitter patters, talkative toddlers the next day. As a parent myself, I would love to hold on to their years of growing up and see how they look like in every stage of their childhood....and if a photograph would give me the pleasure of bringing back a visual glimpse of that memory, then so be it.

This is Ava. She is definitely one-of-a-kind. She is as fun and free spirited as her beautiful wild curly hair. We did the photo shoot late in the afternoon and I remembered the day was gloomy and the weather cold. But Ava's radiating smile and sunny disposition just took away all the gloominess of the day and we had a fun time shooting as if it was summertime....well, being with Ava seems like it was summer indeed.

What is a blog without a blog post? Yes, my blog is long overdue but whew, these last few months have been very interesting...sometimes, life just throws stuff at you and you have no choice but to just slow down and take it one step, one day at a time.

But my camera sure did not slow down...in fact, I have quite a few to share with you all. Let me just start with a few halloween photos I never got to post in time....

Here are some photos of my dearest Troy and his buddies at the daycare...
