a lost friend :: toy photography

i like a dark photo. something that gives me a sentimental shiver. this doll and these photos did just that.

"bump" and bunny :: toy photography

vroom, vroom :: toy photography

both of my little boys love cars.  love them.  we have every hot wheel car there is, i'm sure of it.  the other day i saw this great painting of toy cars stacked high and thought how great it would look hanging on the wall in our home.  of course, i couldn't afford the painting, so instead we made our own version by photographing our cars instead!  "the monster" had so much fun setting up the cars for me to photograph... and once we get one or two framed and hung, i know he will be proud of the art he helped create.

do your kiddos have any special collections?  or did you as a child?
