My son has recently turned 7 and he is an avid and very good reader.
The other morning I walked into his room and this heartwarming view welcomed me! We got him the reading light a week or so ago and since then he enjoys a read first thing in the morning. I am such a happy and proud Mama.
I'm so thankful that I was able to capture these simple and special moments of his growing up. This is what our life looks like and I love it!
A few weeks ago I placed a hummingbird feeder in our backyard. It took a little while but now that feeder is 'a-humm' with cute, tiny hummingbirds. They are the daintiest, most exuberant little creatures you can meet.
At first we thought it was always the same bird and we called him or her "Flying Saucer". Then one weekend morning I took out my camera and my 70-200 lens and got some really close-up shots. I realized that it was not just one bird but several different little guys that all looked quite different. I counted about 4 or 5 different types, although I did not manage to get good pictures of each of them. They all behave really differently. Some are more relaxed than others.
I still want to go back and spend a bit more time capturing these sweet little birds, but here are a few pictures I took.
It is quite challenging trying to shoot these incredibly agile and fast flyers, so sometimes I found the focus was not spot-on, which is why I want to keep at it.
I had so much fun - these bird pictures really show how gorgeous they are. And while I was waiting I also got a few pictures of our Fuchsias!
Oh my - oh my, how time has flown. It has been almost a year since I wrote in the blog. Life has been busy.
My family and I relocated to Seattle WA - or to be more exact Sammamish WA - in September last year. Prior to that we had 3 busy months of researching if we should move, making the decision and then getting the ball rolling. An avalanche followed: selling our house, buying a house, moving our belongings including 2 cars and the list goes on.
My first priority is and always will be my family, so I took some time off from the Photography business to get everybody settled into our new home and to make our house a cozy place for us.
We are now settled and very happy in this beautiful part of the world. The Pacific Northwest has so much to offer and we have so many places to explore and discover, it is so exciting. Life is good. I look forward to sharing our journey.
I have now registered Katja Wright Photography LLC in Washington and I'm getting the business back on track. Hopefully I'll have some new clients soon and I'll be able to share some moments from their sessions.
For now, you'll have to be happy with some 'Easter-egg-colouring-fun' with my son! We did this a year ago and I just took a look at the old pictures - what a difference a year makes. My "little" man looks so grown up now! It's all just going by way too fast.
So, just as Easter is the story of new beginnings, I see this time as a new beginning for my family as well as my company.
Every story has an ending.
But in life, every ending has a new beginning.
