I took some photo sessions last week, and if I say so myself, they turned out pretty well. And I thought to myself, “I am the world’s best photographer.” Then I bought some new Photoshop actions and started playing around, and the pictures got even better. And I thought to myself, “I totally ROCK as [...]

I was taking pictures for a friend in the park the other evening and the girls went with me, to serve oh-so-willingly as helpers. OK, that’s a big fat lie.  I paid each of them $3 to help me schlep my cameras and bags and stepstools and reflectors around the park …. THEN they made me [...]

… and this still makes me giggle. Kendrie, age 8′ish months, with the world’s most mutant Easter Bunny, in the new “Awkward Family Photos” book, page 157, under the section labeled “Most Awkward Holiday Mascot.” Ha!!  The heck with leukemia, she’ll need therapy for THAT RABBIT!

Regarding our family photo shoot from earlier this week, I received the cd of images from Jim, our photographer this evening.  After carefully looking and checking all the images he took, I can honestly say ……. for the record, no-one on our Christmas card list will be receiving the traditional letter/photo combination this year.  Because [...]

Last night was Kellen’s next-to-last game of the football season.  I won’t be able to attend their final game next week, so to ME, last night’s game was the last.  I place Kellen’s first season of football in the “positive experience” category because he’s learned a lot and had fun.  (Mainly.  When he’s not whining about having [...]

I knew when I went to bed last night I would title today’s post this …. and why. The first time we tried to get our family photos done this year, lousy weather blew in just a few hours before.  The second time, the weather was perfect but we forgot about daylight savings time and [...]
