J Kids "School Picture Day"

I'm so proud to say that Skyler, the oldest beauty, said to her mom after picture day at school, "Can't we have Brandy take our pictures?"

Well HEAVENS YES my dear!  And I'll do it again next year if you'll let me :)

I've been so lucky to work with such well-behaved kids lately.  Maybe we're just all maturing nicely :)  I have no problem with taking the same folks' pictures year after year after year. 

I saw the ad for "retakes" at the kids' school on my way in to parent-teacher conferences today.  Makes me giggle as I post this.  Retakes, schmeetakes.

Adorable Y Kids!

Did the first of the "School Picture Day" sessions.  These kids are so adorable.  And you know I'm partial to a redhead :)

This is one of my favorite pictures EVER!

Oh her eyes!

After the first couple of shots it went like this: *click* tilt right, *click* tilt left.  Rinse and repeat.

Silly kids.  *click* tilt right, *click* tilt left

Hilarity

This has got to be the funniest group I've ever shot.  Bigger than Life.  Hope you get the idea from these shots... I have the best job in the world!

Click to enlarge.  They've got a crowd!

This is how they roll.

Phew!  It's been too long!  Had a minor meltdown last week. It's taken me a while to get over it!  I finally have a new computer, but I'm awaiting my hardrive recovery so I can post the beautiful pics I got at the Salt Lake Temple of my sis-in-law and her familly.

In the meantime I did some anti-school-pictures pictures...

An unfortunate placement for the watermark, I understand.  I'm just too tired of technology to change it!

I mesed around with some textures.  I don't like messing with them too much.  I want them to still look pretty natural.
