To pacify or not to pacify

Mom did not want this cutie to have a pacifier. However, due to big sister's schedule, baby sister had to take pics when she wasn't really in the mood. To appease her we would give her a pacifier count 1, 2, 3. Then we'd take it out and hope to get a shot before she cried. My favorite shot includes the pacifier. At least it's cute and matches the outfit!

Photography problems???

I recieved a hilarious comment about the 9x9 of Madison that I posted 2 days ago. I couldn't help but share! I love people that can think-outside-the-box and keep me laughing.

Here's the email. Enjoy . . .

"Hey niece, it appears you are having trouble getting the entire baby in the picture. I’m no photographer but I think you might try backing away from the little rascal before you push the button.

Seriously, the pictures and the baby are precious.

Thanks,
Jody"

More photos of the beautiful Madison

Taking care of 2 babies takes lots of time! I love it more than I could ever imagine, but I don't get much time to play with photos of my own girls. When working, I process photos for my clients and I want to play with the girls when I'm not working! Due to an eventful week (Jesse's ER visit and my back surgery) my parents came to help with the girls and I got to play with a few photos. Here is a collage of Madison. Enjoy it. I sure do!

Our newest blessing and her loving sister

Castro Anniversary framed photo collages

I ordered some prints and frames for a client. I just received them and am putting together the frames. The 20 x 20 collage of their parents 50th wedding anniversary looks great in the gold frame. The 11x14 collage of the sibling pictures looks great too. How fun to be able to hang your beautiful family on your wall.

Abigail Easter pics in Brenham bluebonnets

So I never posted the bluebonnet Easter pictures of Abigail. I had a baby in there and got a little distracted from my blog. Here are Abigail’s Easter pictures and a few shots of our newest blessing, Madison.

New ideas inspired by David Ziser

Last night a photographer friend of mine went to a photography seminar at the Westin Galleria in Houston. I had a great time. It was by David Ziser. I was inspired. I am so excited to try out all the new ideas and techniques that I learned (and relearned) at this conference. I also met some great photographers there. We exchanged cards and I can’t wait to build a relationship with them.
