Pettiskirt Princess

I found this sweet pettiskirt at Costco and mostly bought it because I thought it would be so fun to take Ava's pictures in it.  This girl did so awesome for me...she was just so happy to be wearing a pretty skirt.  She loved it and I LOVE these pictures of her.  I changed a lot of the pictures to BW because I didn't exactly love the blue bench but I don't know how to change the color of it in PSE nor did I want to paint it.  Plus, I just love BW photos right now.























The Little Borups

So I decided to torture myself and take pictures of our kids.  I've wanted to try it for a while now, but every time I thought about it doing it, I would talk myself out of it b/c I knew it wouldn't be a fun, pleasant experience.  It actually wasn't as bad as I thought and I got a couple of nice photos.  Of course, after I see them on the screen I have to criticize all the flaws in each picture.  But for my first time, I was pleased that I got AT LEAST ONE.


I am trying to figure out the whole swapping heads process...I tried it in this photo, can you tell??


Shortly after this photo was taken, Ava was dragged to the ground and scraped her knee because the boys were trying to race ahead of each other.  You gotta love boys!

This is my favorite one...my assistant, Greg, helped me get everyone posed and happy.  

This kid did the best for me the whole night...Sometimes, the unexpected happens!

Shades

I heart faces is such a great resource for editing pictures.  I have learned so much from their site.  This week's theme is Shades...you can check out tons of cool photos there.




I know I just posted this picture not long ago, but when I saw the theme of "shades" I wanted to enter this photo...I love it.
