A few weeks ago Peggy (AKA: Paulette) called and asked me to take some pictures of her little sisters for her Mom as a Mothers Day gift. That soon turned into taking pictures of all the kids – and the 3 grandkids! So, now that Mothers Day is over, I am allowed to post these… enjoy! (and Happy Mothers Day Aunt Karen!)
I was not the photographer but Rachel said it was okay for me to bring my camera to the reception… so I grabbed a few detail pictures and a few people pictures too….
Congrats Rachel and John! I hope you are having fun on your cruise!!
Her bouquet was gorgeous! (I just had to post two pictures!)
I love this picture!
These are more of Stu playing softball…. And just in case you are wondering, the blurry/white in some of the pictures are because I am taking them thru the fence… You can tell more in some pictures than others. I usually go inside the fence and one of the guys sort of ‘protects’ me from getting hit with the ball, but Stu put a stop to that and said that not only do I have to stand on the outside of the fence but I also have to stand at one of the poles now that I am pregnant! I agree… it is best for me and the baby… it just makes taking pictures a little more challenging! But hey, without a challenge how will I get better??
I got distracted by this little web on the fence and missed Stu making some sort of awesome play! But I didn’t mind to much because I thought this was pretty cool!
The weather man was calling for rain so we decided to meet earlier than planned and try to beat it… As I drove I felt like the rain was right behind me, but luckily it held off as we wondered around Derrick (and soon to be Emily’s) house taking pictures.
Derrick and Emily-
Congratulations on your engagement and Thank you for letting me do your pictures!
The ball is headed for the crowd…. Can Kyle save the day?
over the crowd, into the trees….. YES! He got it! 
OUT!
Holly somehow got confused and thought Dad was on the opposing team… She threw the ball at him to get him out and all the while he is trying to catch it to help get someone else out!!!!
JoJo took over Ginny’s camera while she played….
I think it would be safe to say that I am my own worst critic. (I believe that is true for most photographers, artists, etc.) We tend to ‘see’ our work differently. I see the mistakes that maybe no one else would notice; the background, the lighting, the composition……. But with much practice and trail and error, we sometimes create something that even we are proud of.
Saturday I photographed Linden and Matt; and I must say I love the way they turned out! Of course it helped out that they are both so good looking and so natural. And they were such good sports! They didn’t even think twice when I asked them to climb a tree or sit on the wet grass (it rained on us a couple of times).
Linden and Matt: Thank you for being such good sports and for giving me the opportunity to do your pictures.
(Warning: there are a lot of pictures in this post!)
Yep, it’s that time of year again; Warmer weather, trees blooming, grass getting greener and …… Softball!
Yes, I know it has been way to long since I last blogged! Sorry, I really haven’t taken many pictures lately though… We did go to Charleston a couple of weeks ago and I shot a few:
