I have been planning these pictures for weeks…maybe months. (Remember the whole chambray shirt dilemma). Well tonight we decided was the night…cloudy, so we wouldn't be fighting sun spots…not too cold and Ryan's dad was coming to visit, so he could help. I had planned to go to "my spots" where I take ALL my family photos…first to Lake Ahquabi: There are several beautiful spots there, we took last year's photo there.
And I took Dameon and Lindsay there also…it has such beautiful golds and browns, which is what I planned our clothes around.
But just our luck…it was closed for hunting!!! Bummer…but I have another spot on the square in Indianola. It is this great rusty red door step! It photographs so well, again I took Dameon and Lindsay's pictures there….as you can see it .
So we turn around and head back into town…and guess what...my rustic red door step is under construction! Seriously!
Well that's it folks, the sun is setting on a cloudy day, I am running out of daylight and patients. So as a last resort we go across the street on a white wall. We only got a couple pictures, none of the kids wanted to be there and it was getting too cold for Blakely.
As I was scrolling through the pictures on the camera, I saw ONE picture where everyone was smiling and looking at the camera…a blessing maybe. Maybe I won't have to retake these photos. BUT I can't see all the details so I will have to make the final judgement on the computer. I pull up the picture on the computer…oh boy. Indeed we are all looking at the camera…however, it's a pretty sad site.
Out of all the things I thinking about when putting the outfits together…I didn't think about the boys shoes. I thought they would be covered up with tall grass. Poor little Blakely's tights were not as warm as I thought they would be…brrrrr. Ryan's grey sweater just doesn't blend and Riley is yelling BANANAS!
