Remember Jack?

I was excited to come out and shoot with my friends and their adorable kid for the third time. This year’s shoot was quite a workout- the kid moves FAST!

Jack’s dad is a minister, so it was lots of fun to take some shots at the church where he most definitely feels at home:

I was thrilled that we managed to get yet another version of the sweet mother/son shot we got the last two times:

This isn’t Holly, it’s my brother’s new dog, Charlie!  Isn’t he pretty?

Holly might be miffed that I am featuring another black lab here.  (Okay, who am I kidding?  She could not care less.)  Still, here’s one of Holly for the road:

Time to relax, right?

I still need to go through all of our winter getaway photos, but I am so excited about getting out and shooting this weekend, I doubt I will pay my vacation snaps any attention.  I guess they can wait a little longer, for the sake of quashing cabin fever right?

This is here for no other reason than I came across it while skimming through our vacation photos, and it cracked me up.  During one of our snow days last month, I was using up the last of the exposures on our waterproof disposable camera and got this shot of our fire-breathing lab.  Ha!  So glad it’s not cold enough to see our breath anymore!

Holly had a pretty nice little Sunday.  Unwrapping furniture, crawling under fences, playing at the park.  She really wanted to hit Bed, Bath, & Beyond, but we didn’t know if we’d have enough time.

Josh and I were unwrapping and putting together some furniture this afternoon.  I left the room for a minute and came back to this:

Josh:  I dub thee “Saran-Ass.”

Holly: Da-aaaad!

It was such a gorgeous day, we decided to walk over to the park for a bit.  Tragedy nearly struck when Holly’s beloved squirrel flew right over a barbed-wire-topped fence.  Luckily for us, Holly has seen enough prison break movies and knew what needed to be done:

She was even kind enough to take a break and pose for me.

So, I finally ordered the camera I have been saving up to buy for TWO years, and wouldn’t you know, the next three weekends were cold, rainy, and just nasty in general.  I do not like being cold, and I do not like getting rained on, so I have been biding my time for a warm, sunny day to go shooting.  Last weekend I finally got it!  Katie and Cara were happy to oblige me with a spur-of-the-moment photoshoot, and we found some gorgeous light:

Aren’t they pretty?
