Just playling...

...cuz I had to find out just what this lens could do. And all 3 of the kids were home, so they all had to play. Poor kids....
This one will probably get blown up and hung in the girls room




and i told you all 3 had to play...Well this is the look I get from Jack any time that he sees the camera..

oh yeah... and part of the bribing... was tatoos :)



My cool little dude..

10 YEARS!!!!!

10 Wonderful Years... with the best husband ever! So for our anniversary he brought me home some flowers..

...and instead of diamonds... he got me a piece of glass...

Lets just say, that i wasn't dissappointed! :) :) :) ( that's the 70-200L incase you couldn't tell ;) )
And I had to try it out real quick even though Bella was scruffy without her hair done.. And Hey - after seeing me taking pictures of flowers, she must've been a little jealous cuz she actually asked me to take these... ?!?!


So... Happy Anniversary to me! :)

Simply Bella.....

For the last 2 weeks it seems that i've done nothing but preschool and soccer team shoots. Being so busy with all that has really drained me from wanting to take out my camera and just play with it. Even though I had 2 more soccer teams to get through this week, I decided that I'd pull my toy out and try to have some fun. go figure that Bella was my poor model again....



...she had to throw in a bit of a fake smile for ya!

and a NO smile

and just in case the upside down was too much for ya... we'll flip it around...

And on this one... I totally missed the focus, but THIS is BELLA...so I had to share..

It feels like WINTER!

...and in hopes of the cold weather leaving soon, I pulled out the winter hats for what is hopefully the last time for a while. I wished that i hadn't been lazy with these and pulled my reflector out, but.... oh well..




and how about this one in black and white?

and this one in color?...no?

Lolli, Lolli, Lolli....

So the girls cousin Miss "K" came to town for the weekend to play. Yay for me... cuz I had a new model to work with. And there was no way that she was gonna turn me down when I handed her a huge lollipop. The girls could not wait for their photoshoot when I pulled these out. They had soo much fun and so did I. Aren't they just the cutest together?!?


She's so silly! I really wished that she lived closer. My girls just have a blast when they get together...





And poor Jack was asleep during this shoot. Maybe we'll have to do a private shoot with just him and a lolli on another day...

A few of My favorite Things....

So... My bloggin' Friend Megan tagged my a while back to list a few of my favorite things. Megan, I'm sorry that this took me forever to get to, but hey - I'm actually doing it!!!
I really had a hard time coming up with stuff/products that I just couldn't live without, but I finally thought of 2 things that I use on a daily basis...

The first one Victoria's Secret Lip Plumper.

now for those of you that know me personally know that this is a product that I really don't need. I already have big lips. Big enough that I was even teased as a kid. Now... I'm just proud of them. :) But the other magicall thing about This lip plumper is that it makes your lipstick last for-ev-er! All day almost. So for that ... I love it and don't go a day without it.

The second thing that I can't make it through a day without is
Diet Vanilla Pepsi.

I'm currently trying to wean myself off of the stuff.. but I tell ya... i just love it. One can a day isn't so bad is it? :)

So... I'll probably think of somemore stuff later, but for now that's all I've got. And... I'm supposed to tag 2 more people so...Anna and Julie - You're it

A little sunshine....

My girls wanted some pics taken with the cherry blossoms. I figured the only way to do it was either stick them in the tree or lay down flat an look up. Well... we tried both ways and while I was on my back.... I caught me some sunshine.... :)



...and Haley is actually in the tree for this one... and she's TICKED at me for making her stay there while I took the pic. She really wasn't that high up, but she was scared and wanted down.. I know... Mean Mommy!

In search of Green!

After seeing ANNA'S, then AMY'S, then HAYLEE'S Green Field Pics, I HAD to find one of my own. And yes... it's not the best time of the year to try (not to mention that I live in the desert). Anyway... I went on a hunt a found one in the making. I might not of done quite as good... but it's nice to know that there's green out there in my little desert of a town! :)



This is actually the first field we went to.. I told you I live in the desert!


A Favorite! can't get enough eyelash pics!







I wish this one wasn't so soft.. but I still kinda like it

Do I post too many pics?
