I would capture my baby's first's... Today was the first time he rolled over from back to tummy!

A moment I'd like to photograph...when all the kids are leaving school. I love the chaos and fun going on around me.

I would love to photograph my cat "dancing" in front of our balcony doors. When a bird lands on the railing, she gets so excited she stands up on her back legs like a gopher and slightly hops from side to side. Strangest and cutest thing I have ever seen!
My sons playing…that is always what I want to capture.

We homeschool, so there are many moments every day I'd like to catch!
I love to capture the simple things in life, the moments we take for granted. But one I still have to capture is the moment my kids climb into bed with me in the morning.

One everyday moment I like to capture is my children being themselves, being in the moment and not realizing I am around taking a photo of them!
I'd love to capture my sweet babies sleeping, snuggled up to each other, or "snuggle cuddling", as they call it. I can't seem to get it right, being so dark in their rooms...but it's my goal!
The one every day moment I'd like to capture is the look on my son's face when I pick him up from daycare.

I'd love to take more pictures of my sister and nephew together!
Wow, there are so many. I'll be seeing my grandchildren at the beach so that would be a fun moment to capture. . . sand castle building or something like that. I don't see them very often so really anything would be great even just hugging grandpa.

The big smiles my 4 month old gives every day.
Since I am at home with my 9 month old twin boys each day I would love to capture some of the moments I share with them when my hands are too full for a camera like feeding them their bottles at the same time, I guess I need to figure out the timer on my camera and just do it huh?
I love any every day moment with my kids but my favorite lately has been of my almost 3 month old baby girl. Every time she wakes up (especially in the morning) she stretches for a few minutes with these big smiles on her face. It is the cutest thing!
The everyday momemnts of my little boy growing up sooo fast!!
thanks for a chance
