Yes, these all are about me, and yes, it’s been a rough day

    Taking wedding pictures is extremely exciting, scary, and nerve wracking all at once.  Take this past Saturday, for instance.  When you have a beautiful day, a beautiful bride, beautiful wedding outfits, (you get the idea here) if the pictures don’t turn out beautiful, there’s just one factor that could be to blame – me!  Now I don’t know about you, but that can tend to stress me out! 
   Well, things went great.  M&J were so easy to photograph, and such good sports. 

   “You want me to sit in the grass in my suit?  Sure!”
   “Oh, walk out in the grassy field, no problem.”
                     or
    “Hey Blake, can you try to chase the peacock into the picture – maybe make a little noise so that it will  open it’s tail.”   We didn’t have much luck with the peacock thing, but it wasn’t because Blake wasn’t trying

   Here’s a little look into their day – more to come……

Hey, this is Cline.  My cousin Adler came over to my house today.  I told him that if he wants to fit in around here, his hair can’t be so perfect;  it’s got to stick out, have bed-head, curls or somthing.  So mommy fixed him all up.  Here we are with our cool “do’s” and hunky bodies.

I think Adler wants to be just like me!

uh-oh, just a wait a second…let me get a closer look at somthing…

Mommy!  He’s got a bigger spike than I do….and more hair too!  See if I give him any more style tips.

  Bible School is such a busy and exciting time, but it goes so fast.  Here it is the second week already, and we just have 3 days to go. 
  Here are a couple more pictures of our students – they’ve been a joy this year!  It does make me wonder what Hudson will be like when he gets into the classroom setting.  Will he be shy or lively, full of questions or full of answers, a leader or follower…..?

  We had another beautiful day to take pictures of Lucy…what a sweetie!  Her gorgeous hair has me wishing that somewhere, down deep, maybe Clint and I have the genetics to produce an auburn haired baby…probably wishful thinking, but who know.
  Also, a big thanks to Patty and Gladys, for providing a wonderful place to take pictures – you gals are just great!

  Yay!!! We got a sunny day to take the rest of the kid’s pictures for Bible School.  I’ve been wanting to play around with blue skys and lens flare, and for both, ya gotta have sun.

And then here’s one of my favorites.  Favorite picture I mean, not student

And they always love to do a “fun” picture – notice the difference between the boys’ pose, and how the girls pose.
