Crossing my fingers

I am crossing my fingers that this works.  I am on my MAC and going to try and upload some pictures from my senior pictures shoot.  This is Lura who does pretty much everything.  She's one tough cookie.  Apparently she broke some ribs the other day.  I don't know the details, I just read it on facebook.  heehee  But here you go.

This was the very first photo I took.  You know the photo shoot is gonna go well when the very first picture turns out like this!  I love how the sun is coming through her hair and everything.

( Um, hello I want these shoes!!! )

I think this one is my favorite of her smiling.  I called out her boyfriends name ( it worked several times! haha Except for the time I accidently called him Gay instead of his name....that pictures was hilarious! )

This is her moms dress from when she was a teenager and I just think that is SO cool!

I know it is a LOT of picture.  Think about how LONG it took me to edit and shrink and reformat ALL of these ( and I only put SOME of them on here!  There are several of the EXACT same picture but smiling or not smiling but I didn't want to bore you with both! )

And lastly my FAVORITE of her from the day was when she was looking and wasn't ready for her picture to be taken.

Never stop SHOOTING!  Because then you won't get stuff like this!!!  And now I need to shower so I can get my boy up.  So later on I will for sure post the pictures of her sister Faith!  We would have fun taking pictures was Lura changed her clothes in my back seat.  heehee  Oh and I made myself a sun reflector out of foam board and foil!  It worked like a charm and the pictures I got of Faith with it are pretty nice.  :)

Seriously?!

Has it seriously been that long since I posted anything here?  Gosh...I apologize but I have several excuses.  We moved to another state RIGHT after Christmas which made it extra hard.  Now we are in our new house but don't have a couch or a kitchen table which means NO WHERE to sit.  Kinds hard to blog when you have to stand and type ( and annoying. )  My knees hurt today from all the internet surfing and craft making I did yesterday.  I am using the internet off of my phone.  Boooooooooooo  I took awesome pictures a week or so before we moved of my friend Lura and her sister Faith.  There were so many good ones that I had a hard time picking which ones to give her.  I ended up giving them a CD with over 250 pictures on it.  Haha  I would LOVE to post some but they are on my MAC and I am on my PC which can connect to my phone.  My MAC will connect too however, I am not smart enough to figure it out.  Maybe when the hubby gets home today I will beg him to do it for me.  It would be nice to get some on here for y'all to enjoy.  I loved shooting sisters because it always reminds me of mine.  This family has 3 girls all within 5 years of each other and they are really close, just like my family.  :)  It was also fun because of their different personalities and taste in clothes.  Kinda reminded me of me!  haha  The youngest one, Faith has the punky personality and Lura had the more modern edge going on with her natural beauty.  It's fun to look at their pictures because they look so much a like, yet totally different at the same time. 

Well, I better get my other computer hooked to the internet now because I am dying to show their pictures off.  It is gonna be hard the first couple of months here in Cali I think.  Mostly because photography is probably not gonna be popping up as often as it was the last couple of months for me in Texas.  I hope to build up some clients here and resume my passion.  And just so you aren't left totally void of pictures on a photography blog

This was on our porch right as we were leaving Texas.  I love that you can see the reflection of the Penske truck in the screen door.  My kids look so grown up.  SIGH

Catch Up

My husband is in bed early tonight and I had a chance to edit some older pictures.  SOOO since I haven't been posting much on here I thought I would update some landscaping photos.  Hopefully it is something everyone can enjoy.

These are from our trip back in August to Corpus Christi.  We had such a great time and it was beautiful there.  And the next couple are taken from the car on the way home from Utah.

I love how pretty Lake Powel is driving by it

And lastly, MY Christmas present.  I MADE my family wear all black and take this picture for me.  My mother in law took it for me and I think we got one we can blow up and print on canvas!  WOO HOO

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas

Babies!

I have had lots of baby shoots lately.  I was supposed to have another but it got canceled.  Bummer.  Here are some of my friends baby.  She was a difficult one so we didn't get many.  After about 2 hours of trying really hard to get pictures and having to breast feed a lot, Lisa, her mom said we should get out the blow dryer and have it going.  It worked like a charm.  Apparently we were too quiet for her.  She wanted some noise. 

We are gonna miss these guys since we are moving but come March, they are headed back to California themselves and we can have play dates again.  WOO HOO

Sorry

I apologize for the absence.  My life has been a bit crazy.  We are trying to move to another state and it has been hard getting ready to do so.  With the holidays here it makes it even harder.  I have had some photo shoots and wanted to share at least one picture to hold y'all over until I have some time to post a bunch!  Happy holidays!
