What I learned this time...............

What did I learn today?????...................... Editing takes a lot of time.  Someday it might take me less time but right now it takes me a while to get through all those images and decide all the different ways i would like to enhance them.  I loved these pix though.  They were a blast to work with.  I felt like I had a wonderful variety.  Thanks again to this Sweet Family!

A Beautiful Day with a Beautiful Family

I had a wonderful time with this sweet family on Saturday!  All 5 of these kids were a delight to photograph.  It takes a pretty amazing Mom to have kids so well behaved.  Thank You for asking me to take your family's photos.  I had a Great Time!   I have many more to show you......hopefully I will have them done and uploaded tomorrow ;o)

Our Family Pix finally have been accomplished!!!

In all honesty, this photoshoot took longer than all of them I have ever done.   It was such a scrambled day!!!  I had a plan and then life took over.  We did finally get a good picture or two but we really struggled this particular day.  We had bad moods, failed plans, emotions, cold weather, and it just seemed like everything was working against us.  I'm grateful for many things....like the sunshine  (which limited my places of choice because it was too bright but kept us much warmer than we would have been without it), my van that ran great and still is and got us everywhere safely, my amazing camera which made this a lot easier, my tripod with which pix would have been impossible without on this particular day.............and too many other things to mention. 

So without further delay here are our family pix for December 2011!!!!!!!!!

By the Way this is going to be a pretty long post  but here it goes....................................

 Mr Pesky Sun kept us warm but blinded us and I really loved this spot but everyone was squinting!

 This is the one we used for our Christmas Cards Dec. 2011

 

Merry Christmas EVERYONE!!

Sunset Perfection

We just enjoyed some time in Florida with my sons Football team for Nationals and while we were there I used the "O" Family for my models for a couple sunset pix.  They are such an adorable family!   Personality really shines in this picture.   Thanks again "O" Family!  We love you!!!

Safe in Mommy & Daddy's Arm/Hands

The Cutest Pumpkin in the Patch!!!!!

 

Thank You "M" Family for letting me capture tiny moments of this little Pumpkin!  I truly had fun, this was a first and it was a real teaching moment of how long you have to plan to take pix of a newborn.  I'm grateful you all hung in there with me.   Congrats on your little Beauty!

And now for my Family

Fall is my very favorite time of year.  I love the colors, I love the jeans I can comfortably wear, I love the sweaters and sweat shirts.  I love it all!!!!  The smell of dry leaves, and the smell of fall rain!   Here are some shots of my kids while I was experimenting with different back grounds and lighting!

More of that Adorable "O" Family!!!
