a visit with the NC grandparents
June 18, 2009 | Filed Under family photos, nature
so, i haven’t had any shoots for a while, but i did take my camera to raleigh in may and june when we went down for weddings and baby showers and whatnot. so of course i have some pictures of my son and nephew to share… it’s taken me a while to get my act together for a blog post, but here are some images from the personal side of our trips down to NC! the first few shots are from a quick walk in our neighborhood down to silver lake right by our neighborhood, where a resident swan came to see us.
also, i messed up my watermark file and while it would have been simple to recreate it, i thought i would try something a little different…
here, my son fell asleep during a day-long cooking extravaganza i conducted with two friends – pictures of THAT to come in a future post!
and here’s a little series showing the progress of a fight between my son and nephew over the blue car-carrier truck… with my brother completely knocked out on the couch the whole time…
the rest of these images are from pullen park in raleigh… the carousel, the little paddleboat ride, train, etc…
this one’s not technically a very good shot, but i just love the moment too much not to share it:

Ayesha! I love your pictures! seriouslyyyyyy you make each picture just glow with emotions :) I especially love the one of the two boys on the swings with i think..your father (?) – but its an awesome shot!
cant wait to see more :)
I love the boys’ expressions, they give emotion and meaning to the pictures. That picture with both boys being pushed in the swing is great, isn’t capturing that moment the point of photography?
HEY!!! That’s my swan :)
And I love the shot with Uncle Wahhaj pushing the boys on the swings, too precious! mashaAllah
