Sneak Peek Studio Photo Shoot

Thick luscious paint, bright sunny day, my little buddy hanging out with me in the studio... perfect day for a photo shoot! Here is a sneak peek of my recent shoot with the fabulously talented Laura Rush Photography, a fellow Arlingtonian! Be sure to follow my facebook page to see more!

Mr. Toodles the Peacock

Last weekend we took our three boys to the movies to see Disney's Monkey Kingdom, a sweet nature documentary about a monkey troop living amongst the ancient ruins in the jungles of South Asia. The boys LOVED it, but when we got home I asked them all: which animal did you like best? My oldest son said the leopard and my middle son said the peacock. Now these animals were the B-list stars who made 5 second appearances! I laughingly told my middle son's preschool teacher about it yesterday and she said "Oh yes! That is his favorite animal! It was his favorite during zoo week." Little did I know! I've had peacocks in the back of my mind lately for some reason and felt inspired to do something he would think is cool. I think he likes it :)

My son told me this is called the "train" :)
