The Cousins @ Winter Green Gorge!

One nice day this month, Shane and I went to the Winter Green Gorge (Cemetery) to take some pictures of my cousins and their kids! At first, the youngest, Tyler, was a little shy, but we decided to get right into taking some pictures so it would loosen him up.


Didn't take too long.


This was their favorite part of the photo shoot. Throwing up leaves.


Tommy, Austin, Ava, Tyler, & Gerri


Love these ones . . .


The lighting was so good and they are so cute loving on their parents!


I was surprised how many different spots there were to take pictures (without getting tombstones in the pictures)!


Tom & Gerri


This was actually kinda nerve wrecking for me because it was my first "official photo shoot". I thought it would be harder to pose them and what not, but they worked so well with me! (I am not by any means a professional photographer nor do I consider myself a good photographer, but I do love taking pictures, especially for family, so I had a blast!)


Cutie Ava


I love the boys faces in this one.


This is about when all the geese started plopping down into the pond. It was pretty cool to see. We got a little distracted.


They are the cutest family!


It's just so crazy to see my big cousins and my little 2nd cousins (their kids) all grow up. Time sure does fly by.

The New Cam! First Pics!

My first favorite pics with the new D-SLR!
Sooooo excited!! :-)

Back Alive But Tired As Heck!

Well I am back from my cruise! Actually I got back a while ago, but I have been so busy with work and Christmas preps and our pup Behren and family get-togethers and getting our new licenses and trying to upload all the pics from the cruise.

I plan on blogging about our trip over a week or so because we did A LOT and took A LOT of pics . . I only took 337, but Mase took like 1,400!!

I will leave you with a funny story. . .

I was in New Orleans and took a cute picture of myself in front of Bourbon Street with my camera phone. I sent it to my family and Shane, my husband . . . or so I thought . . until I received a text message back from someone who had one number different than Shane. They replied "who is this? you have the wrong person". . to which I replied . . "I'm sorry! I sent it to the wrong person!" to which they replied "That's ok! Have a great trip!"

So thank you random person I accidentally picture messaged! I did have a great trip!

:-)

Quick as Lightning!

So I am going through pictures for a special event that is coming up. . . and I really can't say what it is . . . because I don't want to spoil it . . . . but . . . I found this picture I took a while back . . .


Crazy!! I really don't think I could do that again if I tried. What are the chances!?

I Love Sommer & Bry & My Un-Born Niece!
