Part 2 - Sunday Family Photo shoots

You may recognize these kiddos from a blog post last spring. It's wonderful to get to work with the same families over and over. The kids were more in to the pictures and had lots of fun with their own poses. We had to fight the new time change and try and get enough pictures in before dark but I think we got them done just in time.
Hope you enjoy!

You gotta love it when...

you go to do a photo shoot and there's a family of 5 (like my own), the same birth order like my kids (girl,girl,boy) and there's plenty of chaos and frustration...just like my family! It felt just like home! It didn't take long for the kids to come out of their shells and that's when we really had fun. They worked it for the camera, helped with pose ideas, and then helped me out with their friends that had a family photo shoot after theirs. Thanks guys for the fun afternoon, the entertainment, and the Dr. Pepper:) Hope you enjoy your sneak peek.

Ms. Personality

It's always fun to work one-on-one with a kiddo. I love trying to capture them being real while we interact. And Ms. Ellison was definitely interacting! She was performing and hands-down gets the award for Most Animated! She's only weeks away in age from Drew and does a lot of the same things that he does...only she has about a million facial expressions to go along with her animations. Cracked me up! I had a blast hanging with you guys! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek.

A Post a Day

No words tonight because I'm about to pass out...but had to get in my post a day today. My computer says I made it with 6 minutes to spare. Whew!

Marley & Her Family

This was the night that I was freezing with the 60-degree crazy-wind blowing temps. What a wimp, I know! Marley (who thought the photo shoot was all about her) was adorable. At one point I had everyone turn their backs towards me and then I was going to have them look over their shoulder. Marley lined up and turned her back on me. A dog turned her back on me! Then when I had them look over their shoulders, she did, too! I swear it! I'd show you but the wind was crazy bad and their hair was flying all over the place.

I've got lots of sneak peeks coming up. I hope to have at least one a day and I figure that if I write it here for lots to read that maybe I'll stick to it. Ha!

Hope you enjoy your sneak peek guys:)

I'm gonna go broke from...

bribing my girls the way I have been the last couple of nights. I love for them to play with my hair and especially while I'm sitting at the computer working. Mackenzie started her own "Hair Style Shop" and I've been taking advantage. Tonight I called her and said, "I'd like to have my hair done." She asked which style (she has 16 different styles drawn on a piece of paper) and I picked out the one I thought would take the longest. She finished much to my dismay and a few minutes later I told her that I wanted a different style. She obliged. Then she was getting cranky so Cassidy took over. I had to pay them each some change. I really should get my camera and get some pictures of my hair right now. There's a ponytail in the back of my head but it doesn't include much hair. It's tied with a huge blue bow/bead thingie that's totally obnoxiously BIG. Then I have braids down each side by my face. It really is lovely. Wink!:) Maybe I can talk the girls into a foot rub shop next!

For this photoshoot the family knew what type of pictures they wanted but man did we have to wait, and wait, for the sun to cooperate. Their girls were so cute, especially playing around in the field waiting to do some pictures. It was too cute when at one point the 5-year-old was posing for a photo by herself and all of a sudden we see rabbit ears spring up behind her head. Her 3-year-old sister (whom I didn't even realize was behind her)decided to add them! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Email Issues

I had someone a couple of weeks ago that said they had emailed and I never received it. Then yesterday and today there have been 3 more. So, I guess I'm having email problems. If you've emailed me and I haven't responded within 24 hours please shoot me another one. THANKS!
