Us.

I’m writing this in the wee hours just 4 hours from when I need to get up and at ‘em for our trip. Mike and I are headed to the Mayan Riviera for a little vacay as I will be photographing my first destination wedding. It is a much needed break for us as we haven’t been away together since we were married almost 6 years ago. Nope, it wasn’t even the honeymoon, we’ve yet to find time for one of those! We were working our tails off in Bangkok, Thailand….hectic, crazy schedules each week, which looking back on of course we should have taken more time for ourselves. Hopefully this trip is just what we’ve been waiting for. Relaxation, peace, quiet, sunshine (if we’re lucky) and of course some great photo ops!  I will obviously be missing my girls like mad…..I have had many restless nights wondering if I even wanted to go. Ughhh….it’s going to be tough ( really) but it will be so, so fantastic once we’re back and get to soak up all of their pure goodness!  So, for now…..some of us. All four of us together, not only our first official family session, but our first photos EVER together. Don’t ask me how that happened, but there wasn’t even a single snapshot of us together. You can guess who took these….that’s right- my great friend Brooke. She was a trooper and did these in all of 10 minutes before another family session that day . I wouldn’t stop talking, the hubby was complaining a tad, Nevaeh was freezing her butt off ( hence the expression on her face) and Eve, well…..she was happy as usual, and yes she LOVES her tongue. I’m so glad she decided to make her silly faces in these. So her.  I seriously can’t believe we got as many usable ones as we did ( good thing I love backlighting)!  Of course I was impatient, drove to B’s house for the disc then came straight home to edit them. So, the images are courtesy of B and the processing on these few are the work of yours truly.  And yes, I am in LOVE with each and every one of them. Brooke, thank you:)  Mike and the girls……love you heaps:)  Mwah!

Love you guys:) ….now to decide which of these goes onto the wall; input, anyone ?! I have  a spot for two of these babies only and am thinking #2, 3, or 5…although I do love 4 as well, arghhh – and #1.  Why is it so tough, and WHY can’t I have more wall space !?????
