Birthday Girl!

November 27, 2016

This beautiful lady turned THREE! Wonderful afternoon photographing a bunch of cuties at this location while they were dressed for the beautiful party. Here's the first birthday girl. The other children will be blogged as I edit them.

Just look at this little princess in her beautiful dress. Her party was frozen princess themed. Every little girl wants to be a princess and this little lady got to enjoy her moment for sure.

If you would like to see more of her cuteness head on over to the Facebook album from the session. Her sister will be blogged next! Big sister turned 5!

Holiday Photos

November 25, 2016

I attempted it.. I sort of succeeded... No perfect images but there are no perfect people so what do you expect. OH at the out takes though...

That's ok Khayman don't look up and Kel.. demon face please...

Closeup crop of stink face... why dude... why?

We DID get two decent photos. I think I like the first one best for cards. Krishtian does have his hands up but everyone is happy and smiling and well that's just something he does and its very him. So That's probably the winner.

Second runner up. But I like Krishtian better in the other.

As you can see the sessions with these 6 are NOT easy by any means of the imagination. Krishtian is simply not a fan and Kel is such a little monster. We had thought to try to get Jason with the group but that wasn't in the cards but did grab him individually with each child.

I did take shots of just the older three and the younger three because with the 6 year gap between Khayman and Kheagan they are sort of like two sets at times. The older boys were not any more cooperative than the younger ones so those are much more candid than I was going for lol.

And of course the two girls have to do sister photos. Those always turn out but I mean those girls have a LOVE - HATE relationship that can't be equaled. They fight so hard at times but are basically joined at the hip.

Each child did get individual photos as well. But let's face it if I add 6 more kids individuals to this post there are folks who will absolutely not be able to load it at all! Besides, my rear in completely numb from sitting here editing all these photos! So hop on over to FACEBOOK and check out the gallery posted that has all of the images from the session.

Thanksgiving --

RECIPE ALERT!

Yup new ones! Under my recipes. I put up banana pudding and yes it is gluten free, dairy free and soy free and oh so delicious. Also my Nanny's chicken and rice as well as chicken and dumplings recipes. The dumplings are made with gluten free flour but her-- not gluten free-- want to save some $$ they work exactly the same with regular white flour. All of the recipes are easy to follow and very economical. The chicken and rice especially so if you watch for sales on chicken. You'd be hard pressed to find a way to make that much allergy friendly food for that budget typically.

I did also manage to sew up some lounge sets for the kids. I made 3 of the pink retro car one. One for each of my girls and one for their cute little friend. And then these brown ooga boogas for Kel. This is their favorite pattern for lounge wear. It's so comfy and so easy to get on.

Of course I cooked. And way way too much. We won't be cooking again for many days. But I have a LOT of photo shoots to do so that's a good thing! Do not forget to grab your 25% off gift cards or sessions! Here's the spread though.. overkill for 8 people but whatever it was good!

As you can see some little monkeys were photo bombing there. After lunch we also go outside and did photos of the children. Do not worry -- everyone survived! Barely... Those will be shown tomorrow because I feel like death warmed over after getting up at 1:30 am and beginning black Friday shopping online. Oh yeah.. I hit the online fabric sales... I got awesome fabric in all the colors including rainbow...and I got it half price!

I did go black Friday shopping at Walmart too and even stood in line 30 minutes for a doorbuster lol... But not for me. A friend had a boy wanting one of those imaginext T-rex toys that were half price and unfortunately her tiny town has a Walmart that had zero available at all. BUMMER... but I had plans to grab some of the cheap blu ray and dvd bargains anyhow so I got in line and got the little man a t-rex.

Off to bed now because I have totally overdone it today. been up for 16 hours now and well its TIME to call it a night!
