KODAK MOMENT of the Day

Village boy playing with old bycicle tyre. 

He's always looking for opportunity to see how high he can jump. Performing acrobats while waiting for the sun to set. 

First year playing tee ball. Look out! Determined to hit a home run and play with the majors next.

This photo was taken on the morning of June 9, 2015 in downtown Raleigh, NC. The photo is of my son and his girlfriend of three years after their high school graduation. I fell in love with this picture right away as it captures their true love to one another. They didn't even know the photo was being taken. They both worked very hard to graduate and were very excited to celebrate that moment together.

A previous Kodak Moment we're bring back to celebrate all graduates!

This is part of the golf gang that plays nine holes every Saturday before our families are up and ready to start the weekend.  Always lighthearted with stories created and shared – did anyone think to grab a pencil and score card this week?

During the holidays these girls ran out of the water because it was so terribly cold !

You're not a Cali kid unless you ride!

Looking up the future, up to my grad!

He is always trying to be like dad. Not a bad guy to be like. Love these two!

Our second ultrasound of our first child. Jennie Lea Alessi is doing a great job growing a healthy human. Good lookin' kid, if you ask me (takes after its mother).

DADDYSON Love

Daddy and his little mini me. Capturing a true moment, creating memories.

Her little legs were too tired to walk any further

Early Father’s Day gift = new hammock! Taken Memorial Day weekend 2018 in Carmel, Indiana. 

This is a picture of my daughter and husband on their first fishing expedition.

We always go to the park for a walk and talk.  Special times with the kids.  Took picture of Dad plafully walking with his princess.

this is my son's picture. It's of his good friend Peter and his daughter. She is a little anxious looking but safe with daddy. This is a higher resolution image.

Daddy finally got to spend time with his little Buddy, 2 years later Daddy passed away 

a cuddle moment between my son and his son

On the beach in Nieuwvliet Bad in the Netherlands.

I remember trying not to cry, trying not to mess up my make-up. And holding Dad's arm tight. I was so glad he was there walking alongside me. 

Laughing, enjoying this moment with my dad is the best thing ever.

Sunscreen ✅ Cute, tiny swim trunks ✅ Leo took his first steps on the beach ? and into the water ? ... and hated it lol we’ll see if we can change his mind by the end of the week ?

This picture is priceless to me. My husband and our children safe in his hands. It was my sons first visit to school and he wanted Daddy to walk him in. This is my everyday hero and our babies wanting to be just like him.

This is my Grandson and his first Baby Girl. This captures the love a father has for his child. It was taken at the home of my grandson in Eastlake Ohio. Taken on March 30th, 2014 It relates to Family Love for our Little Babies.

My husband is a good sport and a wonderful father - and we want to say "Happy Father's Day!"

Editor's Note: Wishing all Dads a Happy Father's Day!

It's spring, but it feels almost like summer. The air is fresh, the grass not yet green. You're lying with your favorite person in the world on the grass and can't stop smiling. And that all in the best city to live in - Berlin!

A dad is someone who holds you when you cry, scolds you when you break the rules, shines with pride when you succeed, & has faith in you even when you fail.

My grandson enjoying the summer.

I was trying out my new underwater camera and asked my twin grand-daughters to swim to me and smile, the result was more than I could have hoped for. The joy on their faces says it all! Taken in my pool in Jan. 21, 2014 in Brisbane QLD

Playing marble with friends is a fun for the kids. Their soulful laugh reflects the joy of amount how much the enjoy the game.

This picture was taken at the end of my son's second birthday party. He had gotten some bubbles, and his great Grammie was showing him how to blow bubbles.

This photo was taken by my husband on our wedding day. He surprised me with a trip to Key West AND a wedding ring! I am in front and my great friend Lisa Wilburn is there. We were on a sunset cruise celebrating the wedding day. (March 4, 2005) This picture can pick me up any time - it reminds of what a wonderful day it was.

Brother and sisther during the funfair in Altweerterheide together enjoy a candy floss.

Don’t disturb,  I am soul searching.

Beautiful Portugal, tranquility, peace, and the friendliest people I encountered from my travels so far. A place that I never even thought of visiting before. Well worth it.

Traveling throughout the world, I have always been drawn to the youth. With smiles, laughter and innocent, inquisitive stares, the children of Asia make great subjects for photography. Whether the kids atop a temple in Cambodia who intently listened to my Ipod or the little monk who followed me around Mandalay with not a word uttered, children provide good subjects for photojournalism and conversation. Like the elderly, they are easily approachable and often curious. Chance meetings often develop into ongoing relationships and avenues to inside, locals-only knowledge. I caught these kids while waiting to cross a river to Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

This photo is taken 7/14/13 in Paradox Lake NY. Our family goes camping yearly and love the water and as you can see so does Penelope Brozost. She is a Black Lab that loves the water and will go swimming any time you want.

Wedding day bliss 

Every year we go camping with my sister and her family. We take our raft and float down the river. It's really the only vacation we take. My oldest loves the river, but in this photo he looks really uncertain. I thought his expression was funny.

This is my one and only grand baby. The photo was taken at the Lincoln County fair in Troy, MO. July, 2010.

The captain is ready to take the boat out.

This is a shot of a father and daughter at the July 4th fireworks in DC. I love how the father is looking at me while the daughter is fixated on the fireworks.

This picture captures my 5-year-old daughter's first visit to the ocean on June 27, 2013. She was fascinated by the crashing waves, enormous rocks and immense fog that added to the mystery of the beach. We traveled from Minnesota and visited Duncan's Cove on the Sonoma Coast Beach.

Summer fun in the surf on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

This picture has a lot of meaning to me. I was out in the country, taking pictures. In an impulsive decision i jumped off of one. Then comes the broken ankle. It was really hard to deal with because i missed out on so much of my summer.

On a hot summer day taking advantage of the hosesbeing tested on the fire trucks.

Local high school baseball marks the start of Summer. Play Ball!

My daughter Isabella and I raise butterflies! We love nature and noticed all the lizards ? eating the  chrysalis so we went on a venture to save the  fritillary  species ! We raise over 100 of them and let them go into the world! It was beautiful to see and teach my daughter about butterflies, compassion and love!

We enjoyed every moment!

This little butterfly Bella, decided to give my daughter butterfly kisses, to thank her for a great job of helping Bella and her butterfly friends! 

So, off they go into the world! How beautiful! 

My granddaughters sheer delight of being at the beach. 

Mother and daughter caught in a moment of laugher. Both of them are gingers with amazing hair. The photo was taken in Southern California's beach.

I captured this as I was watching my son swim in our yard. He got out the pool and noticed his BIG shadow on the house and began making muscles. I think it is so funny.

How cute is this little clown? She brought so much joy to the nursing home residents at a circus-themed picnic event that I photographed in May 2013. I love how she is missing her two front teeth! I think she is extra special with her toothless smile and rosy red heart nose!
