The Way I View...│Sacramento Family Photographer
It's hard to believe a month has passed already and here we are in March ready to share the February round of "The Way I View..." with 12 other amazing photographers I've met through Clickinmoms. Don't forget to click over and see Breanna Peterson's point of view and continue clicking through to see all 12 photographer's views for the month.
February's theme? Sweetness and love.
As I thought of what I wanted to photograph to express this theme I was left with many different ideas, but not a lot of time left in the month to execute them. Then as I was reviewing my February images there were a few that jumped out at me right away as perfectly fitting for expressing how I view sweetness and love.
First off were these two images of my 3 1/2 yo daughter at her first day of dance class with her older and much adored cousin. These two girls could not love each other more and my heart always flutters when they see each other, be it only a day or hour since they've been apart, and tightly embrace with the innocent and all encompassing love only a child could express for another.
The other two images that stood out to me were of my son and his kindergarten teacher when she came for a home visit. We received a letter stating the kindergarten teachers were available for home visits on a voluntary basis, a program that exists in hopes of fostering more open communication between parents and teachers. We felt comfortable with the amazing Mrs. Randazzo already, but knew Myles would be beyond excited to have her come for a visit and we were right!
At the end of a very difficult day where we found out Myles' teacher's long-time teaching partner and friend had terminal stomach cancer, Mrs. Randazzo still gave of herself and came to our home visit. For an hour and a half she delighted Myles letting him be her tour director and entertainer, letting her overwhelming love for children and teaching flow out and make our little boy's day! Maybe even his year! This joyful experience for him, during a tragic day for her seems the epitome of sweetness and love.

The Way I View...│Sacramento Family Photographer
Each January my heart fills with the hope. A new year. A new beginning. My mind fills with thoughtful goals and projects I hope to complete.
One of these projects I'm excited to be a part of is "The Way I View...", a 12-month project with 11 other wonderful photographers from Clickinmoms documenting an image or series of images that describe the way we view things. Each month we will have a different theme to photograph and post at the beginning of the next month.
January's theme? The way I view...new beginnings.
The world is filled with many new beginnings...the tiny bloom of a bud, the cry of a newborn babe, the joy of a newly engaged couple...I could go on. However today I share the new beginnings in our home, a home newly devoid of baby gear, not a crib or bottle in sight. We've gone from baby nurseries to big kid rooms for our 5 yo son and 3 yo daughter. We've said goodbye to the baby and toddler phases and are in the beginning of the adventurous preschooler and school age phases.
Now please head on over to Gretchen Willis Photography's wonderful view of New Beginnings and leave her some love!

I am a Fort Engineer│Sacramento Family Photographer
I am so proud to be part of the amazing Clickin Moms "I am a Photographer" campaign, raising money for RAINN, the country's largest anti-sexual assault organization.
I encourage you to see the whole video they created here, it's a wonderful collection of amazing women and a reminder that we are so much more than just photographers.

Holiday Edition of What to Wear│Sacramento Family Photographer
It has been a busy last few months here at Mindy Newton Photography and I've enjoyed all of the lovely families and children I've photographed. Between editing images, processing orders, photographing sessions and keeping up with emails, my little blog has been sorely neglected. I hope you all have found me on Facebook though as that is a fabulous way to keep up with what is going on at Mindy Newton Photography!
In the next few weeks I do hope to begin updating my blog as there has been lots going on and much to be excited about in 2012! Until then, please enjoy this Holiday Edition of "What to Wear"...
