A photo shoot that felt alot like trying to put a sweater on an octopus

I tortured myself today and took the kids on a wildflower photo shoot.

After todays session, I know that I will go to heaven, because I have already served my time in hell.

Eh, it wasn’t that bad, but it was frustrating. I did get a handfull of nice shots, but not with all 4 together.

It really rang home the fact that an SLR camera would make my photography life with kids much less stressful. I love my C-8080, but, as fast as it is, it is just not quick enough on the draw when standing off with these kids.

I love this picture. It really captures the special bond that they have together….collectively driving me looney.

    That last shot is my FAVORITE. Your family is just stunning.

  2. That’s not how I imagined Texas at all – I thought it was all hot dry dirt and cowboys. (I am ignorant, I know, but I come from Australia :) )

    I LOVE seeing people who’ve had three or more boys and then a girl – I have four boys (two of whom are identical twins – so I can count them as one in the pregnancy count) and would love a daughter. But people continually tell me that it’s almost impossible after so many boyzz.

    Gorgeous kids, beautiful flowers–great combo!
    I think sometimes the ‘imperfect’ shots are even better– sometimes they show the kids’ personalities best. :)

    gorgeous shots! I think wildflower shots are required by law in Texas, so it’s good you did them.

    No bluebonnets? :(
