The Turner's
I love the Turner's. I've loved taking pictures of them the last couple of years and watching the kids grow and change. They are so much fun and just silly! I love silly. And mom and dad are just so adorable and I always think about them when I think how I want my relationship with my husband to be. Thank you for your wonderful example and your beautiful kids!

The Thompson's ~ "mini shoot"
How to prepare for a "mini shoot"
These shoots are fast and 30 minutes goes by super quick, but We can take some really amazing pictures if you and your family are prepared.
1. Let you're kids know ahead of time what is expected. Bribe them if necessary (McDonalds, DS games, candy, ice cream, etc...)
2. Let them be themselves. I always believe you'll get the best pictures of your kids if your expectations aren't too high. The more you scold and threaten the more pouty kids get. So I like to encourage them to be silly then wait for them to give a natural smile
3. Know what you want. It makes it so much easier for me if you let me know what you want out of the shoot. Like do you want some really good family shots and just a couple of the kids, or do you want more casual pictures and lots of individuals of the kids, etc.
4. Bring your ideas, and your props!!! Please, Please, Please, if you've seen a family picture you love and want to "replicate" (or just out right copy!) let me know! I love copying great pictures!!!
My favorite quote from this session "Don't I have beautiful blue eyes?" Yes, yes you do!!!

Flowers
I had so much fun at last Saturday's "mini shoots". I'm really looking forward to warmer weather, greener surroundings, and taking lots and lots of pictures! I get busy with "life" stuff and miss taking the time to do something I really love.
I won't ever promise to post more because I don't want to break a promise, but I will try really hard. I want to post more of my kids too. They are chaning so fast and I feel like I need to slow them down somehow. Maybe freezing them on my blog will help, but then I go back and look at past pictures and I'm sad all over again because they've grown so much.
