My Best Photographer's Assistant

 My fake photography business has been really busy the last little while! We've been doing two or three shoots a month, sometimes even more.  When I say we, it's because when you ask me to take your pictures you usually get me with my whole family tagging along!  I'm professional like that. However, my kids have learned how to help and they love to be my assistants, even two-year-old Lyndlee holds the reflector for me.  As you can see she is in charge of making the kids smile too.

This morning we did a really fun session! I love to take pictures of kids (& babies), they are my favorite! We did Easter pictures of the cute neighbor girl and her brother.  "My Dami" as Lyndlee calls her, is Lyndlee's best little girl friend. These two are sooooo cute together! And by cute I mean: They are going to be BIG trouble one day!

You can see from the picture that Lynd is a dedicated assistant. Most of the time she made her silly faces behind the camera, but she couldn't resist sneaking into a couple pictures with her friend! At one point she had Ducky covering his eyes with his wings playing peek-a-boo! Super cute! What a little helper!

I had another BIG helper today, Everette! She slept through the whole photoshoot! Which was more help than she knows! Thank you, baby girl!

NOW...if only I had that kind of help finding the time to edit!

Happy Easter Faces


This is our most recent family picture. Our awesome neighbor Angie was out taking pictures of her little Easter Family when we got home from church, and she offered to take some of us. So we grabbed our camera and had a seat on her poarch! You can tell how awesome she is from all the happy faces!

I just plain ran out of time to make the girls Easter Dresses. I had ideas in my head, but they never made it to the fabric. So three days before Easter I headed over to Target and found these cute little dresses. Of course, they didn't have all of the sizes I needed so I sewed ruffles on the bottom of them. Which worked out fabulously cause I now feel like I helped make them, and they are a bit fancied-up.


Introducing Everette Lace

Born six whole months ago and finally getting a shout out on the blog! I guess that's what happens when you're the fourth child. Really it's because we spend all our time loving her so there's no time left for the internet. My hopes are that one day I will go back and post about some of the missing time, like her birth, but let's be honest, how long has it been since my last post? We might just have to be happy with this!
Everette has been so much fun! She is the smiliest baby!
 I can not believe she is six months old already!
