Still Laughing...

Read the sign on the car and notice the toddler is in the front seat, isn’t in a car seat or isn’t even buckled up!

Home

This is not my home, but I’d like it to be!

Celebrate!

Every fourth of July we go to the Gilbert Peach Festival. Every year we don’t want to go to the Peach Festival, but we do anyway. Maybe in 2012 we’ll celebrate a different way!

My Favorite 

Once a year I eat these little beauties. I look forward to October every year just so I can indulge in these mini-donuts!

Don't Ever Change

I never want to change my sense of awe in everything that God created.

Project Pinterest: Family Shadow Photo

This photo was my inspiration for Project Pinterest this week.

Pinned Image

We’re two hours away from the ocean so I couldn’t use that as a backdrop, but that’s okay. The time of day is a little different too.

Oh well! I love the shot anyway!

Top 11 Pictures of my Children in 2011

What a year it’s been! It’s hard to believe it’s already almost over. Here are my top 11 shots of my boys this year. Really though, this isn’t my top, top 11. There’s no way I could go through each and every shot of them from an entire year!

Charlie enjoyed the first snow of the year.

This shot was taken in Camden, SC at a old Revolutionary War-era home.

I’m finding that I’m loving the headless shots just as much as shots of their faces.

The boys love riding their bikes on trails.

This smile makes me melt!

There’s an awful lot going on in that mind.

I have a feeling he’s thinking about Lego “dudes”.

The boys are in the middle set of swings.

Ryan LOVED soccer this year and is so excited to start in the Spring again, which, by the way, is in just a few weeks here in South Carolina!

Second Family Photo Shoot




***Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of this post for an important reminder!***

This was my second family shoot. I used many of the things I learned on my first shoot to better the second one. I SLOWED down and made a mental note to think before I act. I tend to be a fast talker and doer. I can slow down if I keep reminding myself.

We had some fun!

I tried to mix it up between poses and candids.

I saw a shadow picture like this on Pinterest and wanted to try it out with this family.

We even got a little goofy!

This mother/son shot just melts my heart.

The adorable little girl wanted to pretend she was holding up the sun. I tried to make it work for her, but it was just too early in the day for this to happen. I thought it was great that she asked me to take a picture of what she thought would be cool! There is a pretty little natural sun flare in the shot though.

It’s no wonder that these two people have children with the most beautiful eyes!

It’s interesting how everyone’s hands are clenched like this. I certainly didn’t say, “clench your fists.” Perhaps this was in anticipation of their near-future jumping.

If the family was a band, I think this would be an excellent cover for their CD.
