Another Summer's Day

Well here you go. Here is my first Wedding Announcement photo shoot. With my fritzy camera, and no photo shop (only photo shop elements, UGH) and actually no real knowledge of what I'm doing. Thank you Jake and Shyla for trusting me and letting me take advantage of you. Your both so gorgeous and dashing.





























































































































































































































So I realize I have a lot to learn about aperture and lighting among other things but it was fun to go out and begin something I've wanted to do for a very LONG time.

I'm really late posting about Thanksgiving so here goes. Like always, I have a ton of pictures.
We had a great time with the family. Sheridan's sister and her 4 kids came up to see everyone. Our kids were very excited to see their cousins. They had so much fun. I only have one picture of them all together we were so busy playing.



















We had an Awesome Thanksgiving dinner. Everything everyone brought was so yummy. I went through a little withdrawl from not doing it all myself this year. We really missed being with our family away from family "The Norris'"! :) But it was nice to be with our family.

We all met at the church. Grandma & Grandpa Twitchell all of Sheridan's syblings, and his Aunt and Uncle and their 3 girls. It was really nice.

While my sis-in-law was here we did a photo shoot with our family. I wasn't really up to it but we haven't had a family picture taken since Cole was 9 months old. Pretty sad, I know. Jess you did an AWESOME job. Thanks SO much for taking the time. Someday maybe we will live close enough to have a business together!!!! :) LOVE YA!!!!

















This next one was everyone's favorite. All you mothers out there know that this is how you are really feeling/acting during a photo shoot when you want everyone to behave and act like your little family is perfect. LOL (I can't figure out why this is underlining the text once again) UGH!

The dog in front of us is one of the many dogs here, her name is Reba. Everytime we would count to 3 she would hop into the picture. I thought it was kind of a cool picture anyway.




















Look how adorable my little baby boy is. I can't get enough of him!

































Look at my husband sticking his hiney out. :)

































Gracie was getting really tired of taking pictures, she just wanted to play with her cousins. It was a really nice day out that day. As you can see we are NOT freezing!

















Here's our little poser Miss Madeline.







































They were sqeezing their cheeks to stay on the little shelf on the fence for this picture. Ty's little hiney was small enough so he was comfy. :)





















The following are my FAVORITES!!!


















































How tender are these two pictures. lol








































That's it for the photo shoot. The following are random pictures I've been taking since Thanksgiving.

The boys both had croop last Tuesday-Sunday so this was them going out into the cold air to help them breath better. They sounded awful even though they look like they are healthy.















































Here is the "Original Marlboro Man" chopping wood, just look at theman power. Mmmmmm!




















































































































Just me messing around. I like this angle not too big of a double chin. :)





































So I'm in love with this filter. Can you tell!?

Gracie has always wondered who used to live in that little house.



















The kids love this tire swing.
























I love these gnarley willow trees.



















FINALLY DONE!! Until Next Time!!
