picture fest

tonight we had the opportunity to visit one of the most amazing yards i've ever seen. so much work has gone into this little garden of eden for so many years. it is every photographers dream. old barns, a green house, play houses, bird baths, bird houses, arch ways, greenery, fences, tire swings, tree houses, antique toys, etc, etc, etc!!! my cousin torie was nice enough to come take pictures of my wee ones. i'm so excited to see what she captured. i took a few shots before she got there with my own camera. i'm sure they will pale in comparison to hers, but i'm pretty proud of my shots. now if only i could figure out my photo shop.... maybe when school starts and i have 1 1/2hrs, 2 days a week, all to myself!!!!


the yard

the coveted tree house
the even more coveted play house
does it get more american than this???
my poser child! ya gotta love it!
the old school bus was the favorite of the evening!
23 shots of this pose and this is the only one where they are both looking!
hunter was in heaven with all the toys and hiding places!!!!
i only got a few shots of kamryn with her tutu, but torie got quite a few!
thank you torie!!! you made a potentially stressful event... fun. it was pretty painless, unless you count the pinched finger on the school bus emergency exit handle (hunter) or the bee sting (kamryn)- thankfully both were after pictures were done!
