A brief pause for the perpetual motion machine. (read more)

By Scott Shephard

Ibby (aka Irene Bernice) doesn’t sit still for my camera very often. And when she does, I’m lucky if I get one or two shots before she moves on. Such was the case yesterday during our informal portrait session in her back yard. The session lasted all of two minutes

At 14 months Ibby is a perpetual motion machine. She has little to say and yet she always seems to get what she wants and needs. And, of course, she’s amazing to watch.

My wife, Deb, asked me yesterday if I remembered that I had a photo blog that I used to post to once a day. And, yes, I did remember. She pointed out that I had plenty of good photos to share. And, I guess she’s right. So I’m back! At least for a day. . . . 

It seems appropriate that I should return after close to a six week absence with a picture of the youngest member of the extended Shephard family. We know her these days as “Ibby,” though her full name is Irene Bernice.

And what can I say except that I think she’s beautiful. But what grandparent wouldn’t say that about one of their grandchildren?

04-21-14 Glenyce Jane – Easter, 2014

Glenyce Jane seems to be in perpetual motion but she does pause from time to time for photo opportunities. . . .

By Scott Shephard

We recently spent the better part of a day with out son Brian, daughter-in-law Katie, and our beautiful granddaughter Glenyce Jane. She is approaching her first birthday and I have discovered that when she is awake, she seems to be in constant motion, which makes her hard to photograph.

After her afternoon nap, Glenyce donned her brand new Easter dress, made by her grandmother Mary. We tried to pose her and I managed to get a few decent shots, though she seemed to be interested in any thing but my camera.

Glenyce Jane is perfect in every way, of course. What grandparent wouldn’t say that about their grandchild?
