She Makes Three Look Good

Yesterday's photo session went so, so well.  I was shocked.  I was certain we'd go off the rails somewhere - bad weather or rowdy kids, user error with my camera.  But it was fabulous.  Great weather, the kids were awesome and in rare form when it came to posing.  The light was great.  I didn't accidentally hit any weird settings on my camera.  And Emily was patient and happy to enjoy the time with her kids and the nice day.

I know most people take their time culling through their photographs and only uploading the best.  Not me.  I have photo diarrhea.  You just never know which ones are going to be someone else's favorites, so I include all the ones that have a shot.

I hope I'll get to do a lot more of this in the future.

By the way, doesn't Em make being a mother of three look good?  It almost makes me wish I was pregnant again.  Almost - but not quite.

Point and Click

I'm doing my first photo session today!  As in, me behind the camera.  I've had so much fun with my camera lately that I decided to start taking my friends' family pictures.  As luck would have it, my best friend is currently pregnant with her third baby, so today I'm headed over there to take maternity and family pictures.

I'm so excited!  The weather is great and this will be the first time I've ever had the chance to do actual posing instead of action snapshots at events and gatherings.
