I'm Still Here

Life has been super crazy busy since August. I didn't expect life to change so much with 4 kids, but it has. I don't think it's adding baby #4 so much as it's just being involved with everything. I'm feeling more pressure from myself to homeschool more consistantly since Z is now kindergarten.  I can't justify it that's it's "just preschool" anymore. Plus I've gotten more involved in MOPS, taken on more piano students, and don't forget added another member of our family to care for. I do like being busy, so I won't complain.

I've had a few people ask me to do their pictures this year and it's really fun. I'm not starting a business or anything - I feel like I'm a pretty good amataur, a not-so-good professional. So I'll just stay on the amataur level (feel free to laugh at me here).  So here are some of my favorites.

After this shoot, the guy was asking me questions about my camera and stuff. I found out later that he's studied photography a bit. He was super nice and was shopping for a camera himself. I sure hope that the girl had told him that I wasn't a professional. It was my first time to do engagement pictures. They had lots of props which I LOVE. They brought along "mom", friend, and friend's boy. We took the church van. lol. They were so cute!

These boys are the same ages of 2 of mine. They cooperated so well and this baby's eyes are so gorgeous!!

The mom of these 3 girls wanted pictures for her husband. She brought his grandmother along to get in a few of the pictures. Grandmother told me she did not like herself in pictures and was not going to look at the camera. I thought she was kidding. She was not. She even tried to hide her arms under the girls ponchos - I drew the line on that one. Cracked me up.

Sisters. They were so sweet to each other and loved getting their pictures taken.  The older one is only 14! I know I did not look that put together at 14!

Family pictures. I actually did this family last year, too. A repeat!! They must have been happy since they asked me to do it again.

My sister's family!! Her kids were about as excited to do pictures as a cat is to go swimming.

Can you tell?

Notice anything wrong with this picture?

Ahhhh! My sister redeems the whole family.

Mom & Dad did our pictures and I did some of the boys, too. I'll post them after I make our Christmas card. IT"S ONLY 25 DAY AWAY!! GET OFF THE COMPUTER!!
