A meaningful Father's Day gift...

I have to apologize for being MIA for so long. We have just been spending as much quality time as we can as a family. My husband works a lot and sometimes we just don't see him for months at a time so we don't hesitate to take time off from everything to be with him.

Let me tell you, I haven't stop taking pictures. I have so many I don't even know where to start. I thought it would be a good idea to show you a little mini photo session I had with my family. I wanted to give a meaningful gift to my husband for Father's Day. I asked, and asked, and asked, until finally after some bribing everyone agreed to get their pictures taken. I wanted to just get a couple of pictures of him and the kids. Oh, and I am still learning on-camera flash photography.

I could write 10,000 words on why my husband is such an incredible father but I rather just show you ;)

 The man of the hour. He really doesn't like to be put on the spotlight but he made an exception for me this time =)

They are a handful but I wouldn't trade them for all the money in the world. Well, actually nobody has offered me any yet but I'm pretty sure I would say no… or would I?

 They love each other 

and then…

 and then…

 You are not seeing double…

 He is the playful and fun parent!

 This is a trend going on here in Japan called Kamehameha from the cartoons Dragon Ball Z. My oldest really wanted to try doing a picture like this one. Not bad eh?!

 I never knew what the phrase "play by ear" meant until my husband explained to me that he learned to play the guitar on his own, just by listening to the sound the notes made and by reading books. Amazing, I know. He is teaching our daughter and I think she has the same talent he does.

From all the 200 pics I only liked this one on B/W

Humidity is awful here. I wasn't going to be on the pics but my husband said, just put the self timer on. Well, 10 secs. later and a lot of running from the camera to try and pose did not go so well. I could be the next model for Garnier Fructis or John Frieda for frizzy hair products.

My son took this pic. Is not what it looks like…it is actually what it looks like.

My everything <3

Happy Father's Day to my dear husband and to all the fathers out there. Happy Father's Day to my wonderful mother who had to play both roles as well and to all the mothers out there doing the same. 

Until next time.

With <3
