Just Can't Resist...Part 1

She hates it with a passion, BUT, when my sister comes to visit... the camera comes OUT, baby. Her little girl - my waaaaay more than adorable niece - is the cutest thing ever and I can't help myself but take her and my girls out to try new photo shoot places. This time, my sister also has a baby bump... so that means I also try new preggo poses too. Yeah! My sister is cringing inside... but I tell her to put on her Top Model face and work it for me :) So, she loves me enough to give it a try. And to her amazement - she liked her pictures!!! But, that's for Part 3. Let's start with Part 1.

Because I took 2,000 more pictures than I should have, I have to divide this post into 3 parts. This Part 1 will be the girls in the first new shooting area. I thought it was a fine place - the pond seemed a little too green - but overall, nice shade and cute places to snap those munchkins. Let me know what you think. I'll call it Pond Place.

Part 2 will be the girls in a gazebo/office space area. It had a bit more contrast - the gazebo, the gardens, the red wrought iron stair railings and blue doors... Tell me if you like that place better - I'll call it Gazebo Place.

And Part 3 will be my gorgeous sis in all her baby bump glory. In both places. I can't wait to post those preggo pics - she looks fabulous! Watch out Top Model :)

And yes, that is a cast on my niece's left arm. Did I mention how crazy she is? My sister absolutely has her hands full with that one :)

Canvas Happy

After much agonization (is that a word?) and blood/sweat/tears, etc., I'm proud to announce that since my last real blog post, I placed my first canvas order, they arrived looking spectacular, they are hung in the very very cute store, and I have pictures to prove it! Last week I took the girls up to Signature Selections here in Cantonment, FL and they enjoyed a few moments of playing around the store while I snapped some pictures of the pictures :) Well, in this case... the canvases. But that sounded more fun to say. Anyway, here I now share them with you. I couldn't be happier in how they turned out. I'm just crazy excited about the quality! Love them. If you've never ordered a canvas... DO IT. You will be in love. Forever.

This is what your eyes meet when you walk through the door. Minus the cute little girl playing so quietly with some cards.
Introducing Canvas #1. Of course it looks like a million dollars in person :)

Then meet Canvas #2. Recognize this image?

Then there's Canvas #3. And I had to get that adorable shoe/chair in the picture. And that adorable 2 yr old. making a mess with the crayons.

A closer look at the quality. I would recommend a canvas to anyone.

The view from the other side... just as adorable. Anyone up for some shopping? :)

And what's a post without some of my girls. :)

Mommy...stop taking pictures....it's time to go home.

Sweet baby girl...I think she's trying to decide what to color on with that crayon...

Silly girl...

Alright - something tells me she's had enough.
