Josie, Jess & Janell : Part One
















Yesterday, I did a fun shoot of two sisters, Josie & Janell. Their other sister, Jess, will be joining us for a later shoot since she lives some distance away.










We began with Josie in our rural Decatur yard. We have wild white flowers growing everywhere so I decided to take advantage of them. They turned out great! I had to remind Josie to smile big as her natural smile can be mistaken for somewhat of a straight face. Josie, age 18, never had senior pictures done...so now she does! Janell also took her turn with the wild flowers.










We headed for a local business a few 100 yards down the road. On the way there, my sister Amy slid in the mud & fell! Thankfully, she was okay & laughed about it later. We found some nice scenery & had some fun. The girls got kind of playful, which is evident in some of the shots.










I picked up a beautiful pink shirt for the girls last weekend, which Janell wore for a few shots with her dog, Chloey who does wonderful with having her picture taken...but only when she wants to, huh, Josie? lol... Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Janell's husband & my husband are cousins.










I can't wait to add their sister Jess in a future session. These sisters sure know how to have fun.

Starting Them Out Young...







On Saturday, my hubby and I went out to celebrate our 9 month wedding anniversary. We took a trip to Texas Roadhouse. It was a crazy weekend in the Fort, as it was The Vera Bradley Outlet Show. It just so happened that we came at the perfect time. VB & TRH teamed together & were selling Breast Cancer Awareness t-shirts. I had to get one! My former boss is a breast cancer survivor & I've lost two aunts to it. So now, I can wear pink for Cora and breast cancer!






My five year old son, Grayson, & I sat bored today. "Hmm...What should we do?" I told him I needed profile pictures for my blog, but we'd have to wait for his brothers to get home. "No, no. Let me try!, " Grayson shouted .Upstairs I went to change. I quickly grabbed my new shirt. Then, I reluctantly handed him my camera as he sat on a small 2 step ladder. I think he did a good job, You be the judge.
