Today was Ayden’s first day of preschool. We are fortunate to have got him into the SDSU Preschool where it is a labratory teaching environment. The amount of teachers to students is very very good.
He was so excited all day long. When we got there we took a few images and off he went. We couldn’t keep up with him as he ran down the hall, went straight to his locker and out on the playground. I reminded him to say goodbye to his dad, which he did as he ran out the door and didn’t even look over to say it. Then we spied on him as he played. First jumping off a toy and then rounding up two girls for himself. Ata boy. he he.

Ayden turned the camera on us. Not our caddie in the background.
The locker…
With the girls.

jessica rehder - How sweet, did you cry? It does not get easy dropping them off! Brayden just gets out of the car now and away he goes! I hope we can get in our shoot in October! I cant wait! Tell your handsome models hi from the Rehders! Miss you guys!
Cory Ann - Kelli,
He was proud.
Victoria,
Thank you for your compliments. The camera was the Nikon D2x with the Sigma 30 1.4 lens set at 100 ISO, 100 shutter speed and an aperture of 4.0. I did not focus for him, the camera is always on manual with autofocus. I just put the focusing sensor on the middle one for him and he goes. He’s been using the camera since I got it so he knows which button to push. It’s funny. Before he took the image he actually told me to tilt my head a specific way before he would take it. Don’t know who he gets that from.

Anonymous - Great shots! I have been reading your blog for half a year and I must say I love every image you take. Your son is just adorable and a great model! Same for your husband!!
Ayden took a great shot of you both as well. How did he do that!? I’m new to photography. Just got a Nikon D100 last year and I’m still learning (also unashamedly copying some of your “style” taking shots of my daughters). Did you prefocus it for him and then jumped in the shot with your husband? I assume it was shot with like an F 5.6 aperture setting??
Have a great day!

Kelli - What a cutie pie. He looks so proud to be in school.
