Gorgeous, Gorgeous x6!

Seriously! Are they not the most beautiful family you've ever met?!? When Holly asked me if I'd take their family pictures, I have to admit I was a bit(maybe even a lot) nervous. I've never taken photos for another photographer before and then to have it be one of my best friends in the whole world....and.... I really want to remain her best friend..... so yeah - NERVOUS!
Then, then day of pictures I come down with this horrible migraine. By the time we got to the location - yes, the apparently famous "Pecans", it took everything out of me to not throw up. I told her that if I didn't get anything good, I'd just fly out in October for a re-shoot. So with the migraine, I definately didn't get everything that I planned, but... it turns out that I don't think I have to fly back in for a re-shoot.(although I'll probably fly back out anyway). I LOVE what I got and Holly, I hope you do to!
Love ya!

I think they turned out amazing!!! I love the one with sunflare. Although, I give Holly and her family a big round of applause for walking barefoot in dirt, I COULD NOT handle dirt in between my toes, blah! Haha!

LOVE - I'm in LOVE! Can I wallpaper my house with these pictures or is wallpaper "out" these days? Oh, and barefoot is my favorite way to be - did you notice that I never had shoes on for the whole workshop and photoshoot? I hate shoes!

Silly girl. As if you had anything to worry about! Seriously, these are stunning!

Are you guys planning any workshops in Idaho? If so, I have at least 3 of us dying to go! Sounds like soooo much fun!

You can take my family's pic any day. We could even use the same pose since I also have 3 boys and a girl - most of us blondies. I can't pay my kids to wear shoes. Most of my baby wipes get used on feet.

Looking forward to meeting you at Utah Workshop.
