Hi-ya....
Just thought some of you might enjoy seeing pictures from our recent family photo shoot! Now that 3 of the 5 of us siblings are married, and now that one sister has 2 babies, and since the same sister and her family live an hour away and since the only brother of the 5 siblings travels with his band quite a bit.........it's just a bit of a challenge to get us all in the same place at the same time! Hee! I'm sure some of you can relate. It's been awhile since our last family group photo.......wait a minute.....I don't think we've taken pictures of the WHOLE clan since before the babies?? And before one or two husbands too, maybe!
Needless to say, we were long overdue for some family photos and in an effort to keep costs down for all parties involved, we decided that I could attempt to take said photos with the Nikon, and in some cases, with the tripod and remote. Keep in mind that I'm not a photographer.....I'm a total wannabe! However, I am so thrilled with some of the shots we got and this way, each family can print (or not print) whatever pictures they like in whatever size, without anyone having to spend a fortune on photos. Genius, right? ;)
Unfortunately, it did start to rain on us so that cut our photo shoot a bit short and we didn't get a few shots that I was really hoping to get, but we did manage to take 350+ photos in a couple of hours! HA! Gotta love digital!
This is my sister, Grace, and I.....and that little sweetie is Baby Malachi (our nephew). (My sister, Diann, is his mama) Sunday was his baby dedication at church so we were all there for that, got to have lunch together w/Mom & Dad for Mother's Day and then we headed out for our photo shoot. Bart snapped this photo of the 3 of us after church.
This is Baby Ally. She is Baby Malachi's big sister.....by 11 1/2 months! Oh my WORD, she's a dolly!
And I guess you know who we are. I was sitting next to Bart when the man all of a sudden pulled me up onto his lap and my sister started snapping away with the camera! (I love it when he's spontaneous like that.) ;)
Rather than put all of the photos in this blog post, I put them in a separate photo album.

Back tomorrow with my Papertrey release projects for this month!
