Photo Shoot

I have wanted to do an outdoor photo shoot with my kids for a long time.  I even purchased the perfect frame.  Five years ago.  The frame sat empty in my house in MN, made the move to ID, and continues to sit empty in my house. Behind our main level armoire.

On Wednesday, the kids and I met up with my friend Brenda on the greenbelt that runs close to our house.  There were beautiful open grassy areas, a dock down by the water, a wonderful climbing tree, ducks to feed, goats to pet, and flowers to smell.  We spent about two hours walking and exploring the greenbelt while Brenda took pictures of the kids. Some posed, some just as they walked and played.  In the end, she took almost 400 pictures.  Here is a preview of some of the pictures. I am so anxious to see the rest of them.  

I am finally going to be able to fill my frame. That is if I can pick which pictures to put in it. 

Thanks Brenda!  We had a great time!

I will be drawing for my giveaway today. Results of the random drawing will be posted after 6 pm MT.

Oh, Kristen, those are wonderful! I agree with what Brenda said about Morgan - she's just beautiful. I have a feeling that Landon is going to be fighting them off with a stick too. What a handsome little guy.

Beautiful!!! I left her a comment. They are just so natural and fun. I love the one of Maryn smelling the flower, and I agree...Morgan looks like such a lady. I don't know how you are going to pick!
