Reason #1 Why We Live in Texas






I took my own bluebonnet pictures this year, so you get what you pay for but I think they're pretty cute. I also noticed a big ol' fingerprint - after the fact, of course - on the lens. This is due to the fact that we have a 3-year-old photographer in the house. Hence the somewhat cloudy pictures. My favorites are the 2nd and 3rd pictures. I don't have Summer's talent of getting my kids to smile adoringly at the camera all at the same time (and she has 4 kids!).

I'm loving the pictures - especially the 3rd and 4th. Now I guess I need to try and dress my children in something appropriate and get a bluebonnet picture...since I tell myself every year that I'm going to do it but still haven't. Bad mom. Can't wait to see you - hope you're feeling okay.

I love your bluebonnet pictures. (We took some today!) They are all very cute. We are sad you will be leaving us. We have hardly had the chance to get to know you.

consider the cloudiness to be an artist effect...I wish I could find a good clump of bluebonnets around here. The kids looked great in that picture and bonnie looks like she is growing fast!

Yes, we are lucky to live within 2 minutes of all the bluebonnets we can handle. I hope they have some in Liberty!

I'm with Emma. I thought you were going for that gauzy filter effect thing. Very 1970s.

They of course are beautiful! Hopefully I can get Logan to cooperate in the next week or so.

Great job! Would love a print! And Bonnie has very much established a PRESENCE.

Thanks for the shout-out... the key to my "talented photography" is my handy assistant (aka their crazy daddy) who stands behind me and goes totally nuts, jumping up and down and making silly faces and inappropriate noises so I can capture a true smile instead of a fake grin. Plus, I just snap away and take about 100 and only save about 10. Oh, yah, and there is also the trip to the donut store for bribery as well! :o)
But for the record, I think your bluebonnet pics are great, and I also like the "clouded look" They are precious!!
