I love long four day weekends. I love them partially because they end and the kids continue their routines in school. I am nervous about summer because I love a good routine and that goes out the window. My mom took the kids for three days and that us always wonderful for me and let me say I think the kids need a break from me sometimes too.
For the first time since I started taking pictures of the kids I took pictures of people I had never met. It was a scary, exciting, nerve racking experience for me. Of course the family was wonderful, but I lost a little of my confidence I thought the pictures turned out really good but just a little nervous about them. So I grabbed my favorite guinea pig family to recover some of my mojo. I have to say that I love some of these pictures so much that I might frame them and hang them in my own home. This is my favorite.
I have to say the Kitners are so much fun to take pictures of. They did anything I asked. Even when I asked Kyle to sit there while Barb crawled up to him like a cat. Barb goes "I don't know what you mean, you show me." You should have seen the look on his face when he thought I was going to crawl up onto his lap. Priceless. This one of Gracie is just one of my favorites too.
I am just having so much fun creating things. I am excited to get up in the morning and try something new. I wish I would have done this a lot earlier in life. No regrets though.

Gorgeous, as always. I wanna see the "crawl up in the lap" picture.
What a blessing to have your parents close and that your mom takes your kids for extended periods. Oh how great that would be!! Gorgeous pictures. I wanna see the "cat" picture too! Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
I'm sure that was nerve racking for you but I'm sure you did a fantastic job...these pictures are wonderful. Now you'll have even more confidence next time you are asked to do it for strangers! And that's hilarious about the cat thing...wish we could've seen his face!
mojo!!! You are awesome!! I can't wait for my family pictures, I can only hope that the five of us can look as good as the family that you posted! I love watching you grow in photography and seeing you challenge yourself.....I hope someday soon, you will see in yourself what we all see in you.
Thanks for doing these! We had a blast doing them--even Kyle :) They turned out great. Can't wait to get some of them framed!
