Memorial Weekend Fun

My family and I had a great time Memorial weekend first at Yanney Park and then Dancing Leaf earth lodge. They are both well worth your time.

Meet the Mendoza family. I had the honor of taking their very first family portrait.

I had a blast taking pictures of these cuties. Look under the Snodgrass link to the right to see the whole session.

I had the pleasure of taking these family pictures. The rain may have been extreme outside but it didn't dampen their spirits. Look at Mr. Senior himself chilling out across his sisters!!

edit: My sweet DD thinks this first picture is just silly without the story. So...the young woman is a new friend I met at the social. She's standing in the center of an enlightenment maze. I was trying to capture 'walking the path to enlightenment' but she was so energetic and quick I couldn't catch her feet until she got to the center. I put this picture at the top of my post because I felt going to my first social was fun and full of enlightenment.
(We'll see if this passes the inspection of DD now!)

I went to my very first photography social on Tuesday. It was a blast! We climbed a fireman's practice tower and shot the sunset from it. While waiting for the the sun to go down, I met some great people and captured some fun shots.

My words of wisdom of the day...

If you like taking pictures, find a photography social, group, or club. Hanging out with other photo enthusiasts is fantastic!

Those eyes!!

I just couldn't resist putting this picture up. He's so darn cute and his eyes are to die for. He and his big brother came to stay with us today. I, of course, just could not pass on the opportunity to snap a few shots of his beautiful baby blues! He was such a good baby all day and his brother was a sweetheart too.

The gangs all here! These guys and gal were a blast to take pictures of. There's more of them up in the Loretta's, Naylor, Zamudio links. See if you can find all the candy suckers.
