brothers and uncles and nieces, oh my!

and now for a very special treat (for i never photograph children), my niece anna!
yesterday joseph and i traveled to columbus for her birthday party- she is two and quite the heart-stopper already.

this was almost my favorite photo from the day. all that light was natural, flooding into the photo. if it weren’t for those cars. also, i’m not used to trying to keep up with a 2 year old- it was difficult to take photos as she kept scurrying along.

because the previous photo couldn’t be my favorite, this is the one that is.
playing with uncle tim.

and uncle joseph.

and a baby bird that fell out of its nest! 🙁
