Photographer in FRONT of the camera?!?!

(They look excited, don't they!?)

Ok, so it's not particularly easy to photograph seven people in a picture...

the task becomes even more difficult when you're the photographer...

and you have to be IN the picture...

Sarah stand here... Jayda stand over there... Logan scoot over just a teeny bit more... Matthew don't slouch... real smiles, kids... no, I said REAL smiles, not really big fake smiles... Lindsay, sit up... now move over a little more... Jayda, get your hands out from behind your back! Sarah... closer to Lindsay... she won't bite! oh come on, guys... just sit still for one minute and we'll be done... oh now why did you have to move Logan? Look at the camera and smile............. *sigh* I think you get the idea... LOL

So this is the best we can do for now...

Isn't he just the most handsome man ever.... (oh yes, I am smitten) hehe

Pictures of MY kids... (about time, I know)

Ok so I thought it was time to finally post some pictures of MY kids. :-) I was at my sister's house the other day and decided to take pictures of my nieces and of Sarah and Matthew. I thought they did a great job taking pictures!

Adorable kids...

Baby blocks

I thought this was the neatest idea... baby blocks....

and of course, I used Natalie as my guinea pig LOL

Sweet couple...

This couple is too cute... and I had such a fun time photographing them.

More pictures to come later...

Every good and perfect gift...

Every good gift and perfect gift is from God... and this little guy is no exception! What a handsome little darling!

So beautiful...

Natalie is one of those people who look stunning no matter what... and the pregnant belly makes her look even cuter! I had so much fun photographing her and her husband. They were both so easy going and are so pleasant to be around. Here are some of my favorite pictures from our session (can you tell I'm a sucker for black and white?):
