Wahoo, I finally get to share with you how lucky I am that a couple of weekends ago, one of my besties came into town. I am lucky for a few reasons. First, she has family only 30 minutes from me, so when they get her, I get her. Second, I love her. She is one of my oldest and closest friends and so I always get filled up with good conversation and love from someone who knows me so well. Third, she just happens to be one of the most talented photographers I know. I like to call her my personal photographer and may or may not have told a couple of people that my personal photographer was flying in from Austin to take our pictures. She did take our pictures and I am pleased. In fact, I have never been disappointed. I plan on getting several large prints of these for my house.
Also, she is a genius entrepreneur and has created this perfectly useful and amazing book that you can go buy here (on the right hand side- "Say NO to Auto" She very clearly, succinctly and adorably walks you through the basics of using an SLR digital camera.)
You'll have to read both posts to find out that not only does she take awesome pictures and stay up late talking with me, but she is able to truly appreciate things like our spontaneous Justin Beiber dance party, which is occasionally necessary preceding our traditional Friday night family pajama party.
I was so glad that I got to see her. We were missing our dear friend (the third corner to our crazy friend triangle) who I'm sure would have added some awesome dance moves of her own.
So, go check out Kristen. Check out our pictures. Check out her website and for your sake, I hope you live somewhere in the vicinity of Austin. Partake of her goodness, you won't regret it.
Thank you Kris!!!

Wow! WOW!!! Those photos are fabulous! The colors are all so vivid...in your location and your clothing. Would it be bad to disclose that I'm just a wee bit jealous of those four smiling daughters, who all look at the camera at the same time??? Our family photos usually involve most, if not all, of the 4 W's...whimpering, whining, weeping and sometimes, wailing. Usually, all by me, but that's another story. :) How lucky are you to have such a talented and fun bestie. I'm going to download her book...RIGHT NOW!
P.S. If you EVER teach a headband class/have a headband making party, can I pretty please have an invite??? I'll bring the treats! My girls thank you in advance.
Those are such beautiful pictures! No wonder you were excited for her visit for more than just the uplifting chats! When did your girls grow up? And Mia's hair reminds me of your incredibly thick beautiful braids when you were her age.
LOVE those pictures!!! Kristen did a fantastic job! I bought her little e-book and it's great. I love that that's your reading material while sitting on the bench! Miss you guys! And who has dreams of Cybill Shepherd? You crack me up!! I haven't even said the word Moonlighting in a coons age!
Beautiful pictures!!! She is amazing.....and seriously, could you have a more beautiful family? How is it possible to have so many perfect little girls in one family?? A couple of favorites...love the two-two-two grouping in front of that building, the girls on the train....
I have to admit, while I can get get some great individual shots of my kids, the group ones are tricky--it's only with some major candy bribery and lots of the "W's" your other friend mentioned :)
Be sure to let me know the next time she is in town!
P.S....also very interested in a headband making party :)
Glad you guys had such a fun time together. I hope we can do another girls trip soon. Your family is adorable, as always.
oh stop. i mean, really. now that is a gush! i can't believe it has taken me so long to hop over to your blog and read all this gushing. always a delight to hang with you and your fam;)
