Jemma and I

So I never post pictures of myself, but Jemma and I took the camera, our big bertha soft box and strobe and headed out into the field a couple nights ago. We had so much fun! We set the camera on self timer, and got some pictures of us for our "About Us" page on our website. Once again... the photo techinque that I think is WAY cool!





















I'm LOVIN' the Weather!

Ok, not "loving" but REALLY enjoying! Its SO nice that the humidity has gone down a little so we can resume our outdoor shoots! There for a while even stepping out the door about knocked you down, and now my windows are open! Praise the Lord!

I need to get more pictures of Eleesia on the blog soon- seems like lately I've posted mostly Enoch and Essa! Eleesia has been a little under the weather lately. She had a little accident and they had to put her on antibiotics-which later we found out that she was allergic to, so she broke out in a rash from head to toe! So.... its been quite difficult to photograph her lately- Photoshop can only do so much! She's finally recovering, now shes been cranky because her back molars are coming in (oh dear). So I actually have tried to photograph her lately (we went downtown Springfield last week), but it just hasn't worked out!


Anyways, just wanted to clarify that I do love her just as much as the other two :)


So... this is Essa in the cradle that was built by their Great- Great Grandfather. Isn't it gorgeous?! Every child in the family from each generation has since slept in it- and we are about to have to give it back to our Grandparents for further circulation :( so I thought I'd get some pictures before we have to return it. (I'm also quite obsessed with a new lighting technique I've learned!) I think they turned out beautiful! I'm excited fall is almost here.. I can use this technique more often with out being knocked down by the humidity!

Have a great day!















The Kids

I mananged to get a good one with all 3 kids! (Amazing!) This old footstool is one my Grandpa picked up, so its pretty special to me :)


Essa

We got new lights for the studio, so I thought I'd play with them! Here are some pictures of Essa with her Great-Grandpas hat. I really liked this idea, and what better hat to do it with than her Great-Grandpas? I thought they turned out cute!






Well... I thought I would take advantage of this rainy day and update a much negelated blog :) We have had such a wild and crazy summer! The kids are doing great. Essa finally started walking, and finally just got in her bottom 2 teeth. She is really growing up (not so much physically but more so mentally). Eleesia is doing great as well. She really enjoys being outside in the pool, and thinks she can swim just aws well as the boys, but she still needs on her floaties to keep her head above the water :) Enoch has really taken off this summer. He has become quite the good little swimmer! He can now jump off the diving board ("with no floaties" he proudly exclaims) and swim all over the deep end of the pool. He can also dive down to collect jewels on the bottom of the pool! He adores swimming, and we can hardly keep him out fof the pool! He is also learnng to ride his bike without training wheels! So here are a few pictures from our summer experience!
