More photos of the fam...

I really was pleased with the way most of hers turned out. She looks so mature without her glasses. She has wanted contacts for the longest time and I am about ready to give in. She doesn't really take care of glasses so whose to say that the contacts would get lost each day, rip and tear, hurt her eyes, etc. I love how these could actually be her Senior pictures-too bad she is just a sophomore. I have to add the next one in too because she just loves this one (and so do I -based on the fact that I am her mom and just adore her!!! She is awesome and just fun in this next photo!)
Emily would not let me curl her hair with the straight iron-which is a really fun way to do it nor would she let me just flick the bottom of her hair under... so she has long scraggly hair in most of them -but look at the last one! I love this one. I definitely want to print this one in a 5x5 frame.


Chrisitan has some good ones too; but doesn't like all the BIG freckles so we will get out those and then he thinks that the close up ones are the way to go -what do you all think?

Family Photos...just lovely!!!

The family ones were in the sunny/shade part and it didn't look good with our glasses; so we took them off and now the kids are saying that we look funny. Don't know what to do with that one. We both have glasses that when you are in the sun turn automatically into sunglasses. So a few of them are too dark. Anyone who has worked in Photoshop I would love to talk to and get some advice as to what to do. I need to just take the time and take a class. Ha-when would that be! Maybe now that I only work a few days a week I might have some time to study up.

I have lots to catch up on and will add more and more this weekend hopefully. We had a fabulous time at Girls Camp and can't wait to share all the fun picture from there to.

I have always wanted to get these done-and then the day comes and we all think to ourselves. . . "what were we thinking?" I know that it is wasn't the photographer-because I have seen her work. It was definitely the subject matter. Some turned out okay- you will have to stay tuned as we pop up more and more of them-we'll putup more throughout the next few months. She will be editing and fixing some of the parts that we don't like and I love how she plays with them. I wish I had the time to sit and play with all of mine.

So we want some real opinions and see what you think of these pictures. Let us hear the good, the bad and the ugly. We can't decide on some of them and need to get all the new ones posted soon. I have had so many empty picture frames for soooooooo long and finally need to fill them. Bring on the discussion. Vote for which one you think is the best-taking all considerations into effect-that the subject matter is the problem NOT the photographer! heeheehee
