So, I was gonna say nothing has been happening but that just wouldn't be true! It feels like we haven't been up to much, school and dance can slow a girl down! But this past weekend I got an opportunity to take some pictures - which is ALWAYS fun for me! First off...I got to take some pictures for some friends at church. She said, "I cancelled my high dollar photography appointment because I think you can do just a good!" This is what I heard..."I cancelled a professional photographer so this better be good!" HA HA HA!! That is not her personality at all...but I did want her to feel like I saved her a pretty penny! And it was a HUGE privilege! HUGE! That she thought I was on that level! Her kids are gorgeous! Take a look...
Wendy is my friend who has the same unhealthy love for Coke as I do! So we thought it would be so fun to get some Coke shots! The kids loved it!
THEN, the pressure was put on a little bit more when my aunt asked me to take pictures of her and ALL my cousins and their families Saturday!! You know - when it's family - you have to live with them! I really, really, really wanted to do a good job for them. And I think it went pretty well! I got frustrated because there is now equipment I don't have that I really want so some of the pictures would have come out a lot better. But Jason has been telling me, frustration led me to this point in photography and frustration will now lead me to a new level. Anyway, Saturday...We were in a race against time. Did you hear me say that I took pictures for them Saturday (around sunset) - well, Alabama was playing a REALLY nail-bitter of a game and no one wanted to leave (including Jason) - so we get to Twin Lakes at 6:15 with a projected sundown at 6:39 with my aunt and uncle and THREE other families!! YIKES! No time to talk or play - it was all business!! I told them they MUST call me back for a re-do. Even though they tell me they love what they got! They promised they would all get together again! I will hold them to that!
Crazy kids...
Josh and his family
Nate and his family
Rachel and her family
Grandparents with grandkidsand the BIG FINALE...
It's just that time of year! When people can stand outside, and not only can they stand it, they enjoy it! And I was happy to be able to capture some fun times with some REALLY fun people!
Thanks Jamie for the collages! Made the blogging MUCH faster!!
