My Crew!

Was itching to get out and try out some of my new equipment that arrived this week. So who do I pick to torture???? My crew of course. Thankfully they were eager to oblige.

All four of them together!!!! Just love em!


Charlotte has recently learned to roll her eyes. It's quite a trip!


Like father like son - two peas in a pod.


My angel - the wings were added afterward - I don't torture them that much.








My handsome hubby!

Individual Redemption

Ok, so my 6 year old got wind that some of her classmates saw the images of her crying so I must set the record straight and post an absolutely gorgeous image of her. She really does do a wonderful job for me. Peyton is pretty good too. Charlotte likes to say "take pictures" and point out places I have taken them for the torture but she is super fast these days and doesn't stand still for long, if she is far enough away from me to begin with.

So here is Bella gorgeous as ever............



Peyton smirking...........



Charlotte running for me, smiling at least....................



And then there is the group shot. I did manage to get two that will "do" for now. Still trying though.

What have I created!

Bella came along to help me with Charlotte and the impossible task of her photo session. Of course I prepare her too as she is always a good model for me. We are beginning to grow her bangs out and wow, do I love it. Having the bangs off her face really brings out her beauty. I just can't get over how gorgeous she is. God really blessed her. She wanted to bring a camera along too so I gave her one she could use. What oh what have I created? She loves it. She had so much fun. I only hope she too has a husband one day who understands her obsession with the latest and greatest equipment! Until then, she can use my old models.

More Dance Class

A few more from dance class yesterday.

Bella's Dance Class

Took my camera to dance class today. Played around a little with some different angles. As always, I have a great time with my camera in hand. It's such a neat toy! And thanks to my friend, I didn't have to take Charlotte along. She doesn't like me paying attention to anything but her so she makes it impossible for me to shoot when she's around.

Kristin's Handywork

I just had to post these images. As you all know, this past Friday was Bella's birthday. She got some amazing gifts, in addition to having fun with some of our friends. One of my girlfriends is an amazingly gifted crafter. She can knit, crochet and do anything else with yarn you can imagine. She made these items for Bella - the rose poncho, the little purse and the scarf for her birthday this year. Last year she gave Bella the amazing striped hat. We are so blessed. Thank you so much Kristin. We also hear some other items are in the works for Charlotte's birthday- ooo ooo ooo - can't wait to see those. :)
