10? WHA...

Trying out some new lighting and just a cream backdrop for tomorrow's shoot..thanks mekell! I think we shall get some new pj's for her since tanks seem to make her look WAYYYY older than what she is-
:)

No-Smile at pictures Sam

Need I say more? Every pict..and I mean EVERY picture I own of my son lacks a smile! He loves to goof around..and is very happy..just a typical don't take a pict of me boy- Someday maybe huh?

The Hat

I just have to say it about Maine..or at least the 5th grade girls of Lincoln Elementary..WHY? Mekell has got a different style than every girl at her school. This is ok right? Can't girls just accept the fact that it is ok to be different? Apparently not! Whenever my cute girl goes to school she is told that whatever she is wearing is SUPER weird. This has given her such a complex it just makes me want to march down there myself and tell a few of those snotty little know it all's what is what..You know what I mean? Anyway, I wanted to capture this moment in her life to show her that she is adorable and her style is her and perfectly AWESOME!
Love you Mekell!

One More

And..had to get the dress...

School Picts ? Why?

Madisen brought home the lovely school pict and wanted me to purchase them so we could hang it up. NO WAY! The background was awesomely swirled in splattered paint and I think I must not have known it was pict day at school cuz I let her go out with not sure what she was wearing! I will say, she rocks anything..but thought I could get something for the wall a little more "portrait-y" (is that a word)?

D700- Thanks Tim

So, I was able to borrow a REALLY nice camera today..took about 5 shots and fell in love with it! Let's just put it this way..D80 is like coloring with a crayon and this D700 is like coloring with fine pens..OH, I want it!

Rhett turns 2

Ok..this shoot was hillarious and extremely difficult..I worked up a major sweat! Why is it when you photograph your own children, they just refuse to cooperate? :)
Loved the look on Rylan's face..this is exactly the look he gives when he hears Rhett's voice..it means, watch out- here comes my brother and I'll probably get a finger in the eye, nose or ears. Watch out Rhett- cuz when this little guy gets a bit bigger, you'll get yours! More picts to come..will have to be when I can edit them while they all sleep. Love my boy- 2 years and counting the years to come!

Just Plain Fun!

So these girls are making a cookbook for girls only to pass off their activity days requirements..this will go on the front cover - they were soo funny! We had a few BIG nostril shots..I thought I'd spare them from any humiliation and maybe future blackmail on mom's part when showing this to potential dates! :) Ha!

Going Vintage

I thought I'd play around with a few photoshop colors..AND I got this very sweet headband from Vanessa Lang off of etsy, check her store out (early bird and worm). LOVE IT! Madi, always a good sport! Mom..thanks for the dress-
