Vandertuig Boho

Where do I even begin with these gorgeous girls. They were a little camera shy but bribed them with some Smarties Candies and they were all about the smiles then. There was lots of peek-a boos, laughing, twirling, and giggling. It is always fun to photograph girls since I only have boys who hate to get in front of my camera.

Sometimes you do not need words to express what you are trying to say. Sometimes it only takes a photograph. I love creative shoots, I get to set the background, the feel I am going for, the emotion I want to capture. I get to tell a story through images.

Christiansen Family

Well the day started off pretty gloomy and foggy and I was afraid that it would be too gloomy to photograph this session.  Once we got to the desired location the sun started to peak out just enough. I was so happy because I didn't want the day to be wasted just by driving there and back with no shots of anything.  The location was perfect with the little fog around the mountain tops to the sun breaking through to the way the light hit off the water. This family was so adorable.

Frustration

Here goes my attempt at my 365 blog.. Today I took my youngest son outside to play but was met with some great resistance in the form of a 45 poundish 7 month golden retriever who answers by the name of Bella.  We bought her after my middle son got bit by our male Siberian husky, knowing that retrievers are supposed to be these excellent family dogs. This dog has been a bigger pain than I have ever imagined. She is out of control, totally hyper, a barker, and just plain ole annoying.

Normally I can fault my husband for getting dogs but this time I have no one to blame but myself. Oh it will be great for our female husky to have someone to play with I said. Oh and we can make her an inside dog I said.. Yeah the inside dog part backfired. Oh and heaven forbid that the kids let her inside the house by mistake.. As soon as  you go to grab her by her collar or pick her up she has peed. Talk about frustration.

So back to taking my youngest outside today. I took him out to play with some of his favorite toys which happen to be WWE wrestlers. That I can blame on my husband :). Well while Dallas was trying to play Bella just kept knocking him over and trying to take his toys. Dallas can not talk well yet so he expresses himself by yelling and whining. He kept looking at me with sad eyes in baby talk complaining about the dog by pointing at her and making some sound. We finally had to give in and just come back inside which really caused a big yelling fit because he was mad because he didn't get enough play time outside. All he did was wander from place to place trying to get away from the dog.

I can totally understand his frustration because as I sit here and type about his frustration I hear in the living room what I believe to be the sound of something being squeezed out. You all know the sound when whatever is in the bottle is being squeezed out and you hear the air a long with it.

Even though this my frustration right now, I couldn't help but laugh while I grabbed my camera to take this. I think my bigger frustration right now is the smell of butt medicine in my carpet and how to get the big white smeared in spot out. I think about it this way, it could always be worse.
