now for the real story

So I "whipped up" this cute storyboard of some pics I took of Sam and posted on my other blog.


But I just want you all to know that behind those adorable blue eyes and that faint little grin is a true negotiator who refuses to let a good deal slip away. Oh ya... one would think that my house would be crawling with opportunities for me to work on my photography and that I would never be without a subject or model... oh, no!! Let me set the record straight that everytime my camera emerges from its bag, our house is suddenly transformed into some ghost town relic complete with blowing tumbleweeds.  That can't be good??!! 

And so began my bargaining with Sam to see what it would be worth for just 5 minutes of her time to snap some photos.  The bidding started with 1 piece of candy and we finally settled on 3 pieces of candy, but one of the pieces would have to be gum... that was her final offer... I could take it or leave it.  As you can see, I took the offer and she didn't even try to sabotage the photos with her signature frown or ubber goofy smile.  

Thanks Sammy!!

Random photos...

Whenever I have a photo shoot planned at my house in my little “studio” I always beg and plead with the kiddos to sit for just a second so that I can get the lights and set up just right before the actual shoot. Well, in doing that, I always end up with the most random of photos... ENJOY! [taken December 2011]

Tough Mudder

Here are some videos of the  Tough Mudder challenge that Scott took part in (January 2012). So incredibly proud of these guys... I present to you... the Dirty Dads! And here is a FUNNY video I took of the final obstacle...not of the boys, but still so hilarious to watch!

Someone had a birthday...

Albeit almost 6 months ago, but better late than never. Samantha turned 9 years old in January and I cannot believe how big she is. Every once in a while I will catch a glimpse of her and just think to myself...WOW, you are all mine...I get to keep you forever!! I love that she is in our family and it would not be the same without her.
