The Picture-taking is Coming Along

Jordan's cousin, Lacey, got married last weekend at a beautiful home not far from here. The grounds were absolutely lovely, so I thought it would make a nice opportunity to take some pictures of my two little ones before the summer's over and the ground is once again covered in a thick blanket of snow.

My mother always sends my girls the most adorable dresses for Easter, but seeing as I was as sick as I've ever been over Easter weekend, I never took any pictures of my girls in their dresses. Therefore, the Easter Dresses became the Wedding Outfits and also the wardrobe for our summer pictures.




The Bride


As a side note, I've just finished reading a book on photography that my sister-in-law, Shauna-the photographer, recommended. I'm really facsinated with photography and have been working hard to improve my techniques and "creative-eye." I need a tutoring session from Shauna, but otherwise, I think I'm making progress...now if I could just get the new lense I want...

Also, if you've never seen Shauna's work, you should visit her site at www.photographydujour.com She's amazing!

This one's for you, Mom!

My mother has been asking me to update my blog so she can see how big my kiddos are getting...so, this one's for you, Mommy!

Love the matchy-matchy for church.

Our 4th of July outfits!

Running through the sprinkler.

Can she get more adorable?

She did this to herself!

...and then Ryann wanted a turn!
