My daughter has started taking horseback riding lessons at a farm in Edgewood, MD. During the hour lesson, I captured a few frames.

An early snowfall arrived here in Maryland on the same day my family planned on finding and cutting down our Christmas tree. The annual trip to a tree farm has been a Hoffmann family tradition for 13 years now.

I took my wife and two youngest kids for a long weekend at Bethany Beach in Delaware. Of course I couldn’t leave my camera home.

Today my 7-year old daughter Keely, tried her hand at doing face painting … on my 2-year old son, Henry.
I happened to be setting up for headshots I’m doing on Tuesday, and my daughter decided now that she has mastered the art of painting on faces, to try her hand at doing photography. She gave Henry explicit directions on how to pose (which of course went on deaf ears), and then manned the camera (with my careful eyes on her making sure she wouldn’t break anyting) and snapped off a few shots. I was able to salvage a few somewhat usable images. I think it’s time for me to spend some time now educating Keely on the art of photography. I think she is showing a liking to it.
