Meet Garrett

Our new grandson Garrett arrived yesterday to be greeted by much love and a flurry of picture taking. He didn't really care, just happy with a dry bottom and a bottle of formula.
I took a 35-70mm, thinking that would be plenty long. Grandma Sue brought her 70-200mm. We ended up swapping lenses from time to time. That is her in the photo above with her D300, Daddy Thomas in in the background. Our daughter Tracy is showing Ann's mom Nancy some photos on a small Nikon.

This photo of Thomas I had in my mind for a week, baby Garrett in the nursery waiting to go to Mama Ann. The foot was too good to pass up, yhis was one I borrowed Sue's 70-200 for.
Proud Grandmothers Deborah and Sue beaming with the new arrival.
I am sure in the coming weeks, you will all be saying "Oh no, more baby photos." I will try to contain myself, but bear with me.
Thanks for all the wonderful thoughts and comments both here and on Facebook.

Baby Time

I have posted a couple of pictures of my children, Thomas and Tracy, when they were children. Thomas is 29 now, and Tracy about to be 26.

Bless them, they grew up in front of cameras. Both their mom, Sue, and I are photographers, so they got a double dose. Some really pretty, some pretty odd.

Tracy made the comment several years ago that no one else has family pictures like our family. Not sure exactly how she meant that.

Tomorrow we welcome a new generation, Alexander Garrett Gilleland. Thomas and his sweet and beautiful wife Ann are having their first child, My first grandchild.

Deborah and I are really excited.

I am sure he will have plenty of photos taken over the next few years, and some will show up here. So, be warned.
