A Sunset Photoshoot, A Birthday Party, and a Boy and his chair....

Madison and Payten indulged me....  the sunset was beautiful.  We were on our way home and I caught a glimpse of a gorgeous sunset.  I rushed home, told the girls to throw on something cute.....  and get back in the car.  Of course... by the time we got back to the locations I wanted... the sun had already dropped beyond the horizon.  (Just as Madi said it would)  I still took a few shots before we left.  I kind of like them too!  

The boy and his chair.... I was amazed as I watched my nephew work so hard to sit in, stand in, chew on, straddle, lay on....  his little chair.  I couldn't resist... I found a spot on the floor and tried to catch some of the obsession in action.  I love it!

It was great to celebrate my dad's birthday.  My mom always makes birthdays special.  The pizza, old friends, and Sweet Imagination's cake....  perfect recipe

The camera turns....

A nice relaxing Sunday afternoon photo shoot.... NOT! Hotter than you can imagine. Sweat rolling off our skin as the girls tried to look pretty and catch the light for the camera. I think all things considered... their beauty shines through.








During a recent photo shoot with my girls... Madison and Payten took a turn with the camera. IT is interesting to see how they capture images as a form of art. Like anyone holding a new piece of technology, they were overwhelmed at first. I think they begin to see as an artist. I am so proud of both of them. They have this natural approach to life as artists, looking at the world around them through a frame. Wonder where they got that?

Anyway... here are the images I was willing to keep.

Here are some of my favorites of the girls
