brent's girls--take 1

brent didn't want to be in the pics.  he told us where to go.  he told us to go to collier dam.  it was perfect.  thanks brent! so mr. schofield, take a look at your beautiful girls:

ok.  i know katie isn't going to like this one--it was a warm up pic and she's blinking.  but elizabeth was so darn cute that i had to include it.  i think if elizabeth was any cuter during this session, that my camera would have spontaneously combusted.  seriously.  and michealah and natalie are growing more beautiful by the minute.  it hurts my heart.  katie--my silly sister, i've always known her secret.  she's stunning and special.  anyone with eyes can see it.  take a lookiloo below.

these next ones have a bit of cloudiness--it was my scratched lens.  i wanted to see if it would make a difference, and yes, i guess it does.  meanwhile i look at my sister with her trio of sweet girlie heads and i think she has riches beyond measure.  i know, right?







i love this family knot.  they made it themselves.  "arrange yourselves", i said.  and this is what they did.  love it.
a bench in the fall woods series:





natalie forged personal life long bonds with every leaf she touched.  she adopted the marine's motto "no leaf gets left behind!"


silly sisters:







so cute i could eat her. 

i think i'm going to blink and this girl is going to be a woman.






well that's part one.  part two is coming soon...

Laura----your pictures are incredible---how can you keep getting better and better----mind you have the most precious precocious subjects. The one of Elizabeth is a contest winner for sure. You nailed her---and all of them. Brent is one lucky guy. You do present a big problem for me all the time though---which one should I print---which one should be my desk top???? You're the best---and by the way---I just realized why maybe your're so easy for us all to love----like maybe until 18 months.

the pictures are so amazing. I love them all! It's so hard to pick out any favourites, but I must say that I love the close-ups of their three heads and the ones of natalie with a leaf and the ones of natalie and michaelah together. Those ones stuck out to me, but they're all amazing.

I am not silly. but I am sorry for doing you wrong. So here is what I think: you are right--i don't care for the blink pic, but i do concede e looks adorable. I like the one of nat and me--makes it easy to compare her to me and i still don't see it very much. i like both of the 3 head shots. in the holding hands one, can't help it--the first thing that jumps out at me is the tire around my middle--couldn't you have airbrushed that out? i love nat in that one though. the family knot one is really cute. the bench series is so scenic! although i have a weird angle to my head and in one of them seem to have lost my neck completely. i like the one where e is holding the leaf out and the one after when we are holding the leafs to our faces. The one of nat on the bench with the leaf is one of my faves--good smile and you captured the attitude (so many good ones of her) The first one of the 2 together made me laugh and i like the one where mic is standing behind her. i like the tree one and love the close up of e--so cute! i think all the ones in front of the water turned out neat. the water looks so cool--reflective and dark with maple leaves floating in it. although once again not loving my midsection--what can i say? i've always had issues with the midsection. i love all 3 of mic down there. she is so photogenic (is it ok for me to say that?)Nat--really cute poses, unfortunately really fake smiles. The close ups of nat and then mic along the fence made me laugh. i don't think i realized that was what we were looking like.
