Another photo shoot

This last week I got to do a photo shoot for a friend and her family from church. Here are some pics that I thought ended up nicely done. The lighting was hard to work with as we did it at 1 pm. The sun was so high in the sky that it was hard to avoid lots of shadows on faces as we stood under trees!!! But, we ended up with some fun shots still. I didn't know their kids very well so it took some time to warm up to each other :) It was fun though.

I like black and white a lot. I made sure to give them a disc with black and white and color shots.

We went to the arboretum to take the pictures. The trees were beautiful.

Little monkey :)

And ANOTHER lil monkey!

I think he has the coolest eyes.

I love her freckles in this one!!!

The happy family. They were pleased with their pictures so I was relieved. I do my best but never really know what I'm going to end up with you know?! :) I'm always eager to get home and upload the pics and see... and then edit and tweak just a little.

As for the Nutthouse... we're doing all right. Micah was sick a day last week and it's JJ's turn last night/today. We have a very busy week so I'm praying we can keep it contained. I have a head cold and I'm leading worship at church this week. We'll see how THAT goes.. ha ha

A couple weeks ago we went and visited my Grandparents down in Oregon. We had a great weekend with them. We had some of our corn the other night and Noah declared it the "Best corn I've ever had".... so I think all that shucking and cutting the corn off the cobs was well worth it. Thank you Grandma for your professional cutting skills!!!!! I'll make another post with a few pictures from the weekend.

Last weekend I went to Seattle with my friend, Jani. We attended the Women of Faith conference and it was an amazing weekend. The speakers were authentic and real - which is always refreshing. I could easily be making that a year event.... if the pocket books allows it .. ha ha. :)
