It's a Mud Bath!!

Had a blast taking the kids out back today. It finally rained minus the lightening so we went out back, started all bundled up and ended up down to boxer briefs, i talked them into getting dirty and wrestling around a little in the mud for the sake of pictures.










What happens at my house when my son goes outside after a long day and asks why mommy has not cleaned up the dog poop yet today...

A little monsoon fun!

Woo Hoo We Beat the Monsoons...barely

Ok after rescheduling due to the rain at our first session of course we manage to reschedule on the worst down pour of the week. Luckily we were able to get the session in, get in our cars and have a minute to spare before it hit hard.

I had such a great time photographing your family, you are really a fun bunch to be around, hope to get to know you all more in the future.

Here are your sneak peaks, enjoy!
I should have the rest of your session op for you to view in your gallery tomorrow or the next day, I've had a great time looking at all the images we took

Soon to come.....

Soon to come I will be adding more to this blog. For products I have discovered to share with you, random quotes and the most important....tips for you on getting great snapshots of your kids and capturing them in the moment in day to day life. These day to day images are so important to capture, tehy tell a story, you get to look back and remember and later tell stories to future generations who can then continue to tell the stories.

Below a quote I loved from a movie i wanted to share:

"I'm sure my customers never think about it,
but these snapshots are their little stand against the flow of time
The shutter clicked, flash goes off, and they stop time.
Just for a blink of an eye, and

If these pictures have anything important to say to future generations,
it's this:
I was young, I was happy, and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my picture."
