At second glance...

I did a photo shoot last week and I was going through them later I almost overlooked this one. At second glance I fell in love with it. I don't know why, I just did. It was right at sunset, out in the middle of country, next to a field of horses. A location we "kinda" stumbled upon after getting stuck in traffic and having to turn around and go in a completely different direction. 

 

I have several shoots I need to start sharing. I've been doing more and more in the last year, which has been cool. I use to get really nervous before each shoot and want to completely back out, but now it's fun to give each family something a little different and scout out different locations that fit their personalities.  

The most beautiful girls...

My two fun nieces, who are also sisters, spent a good chunk of Tuesday evening hanging out with me. They came along as I was scouting new locations for a photo shoot the following day and ended up as my subjects. The little one just got back from dance class and the older just wanted to come over to my house and play in my make-up for a couple hours so they weren't quite prepared for a photo shoot, but hello! They're naturals! They ended up front & center without any resistance. We had fun. They really are strikingly beautiful girls. 

  

Being an Aunt is the best.

Took these two little ones to the Snow Shack for shaved ice cream over the weekend. Yummmm. We could make this a DAILY tradition. Easily. 

 

 

    Jazz hands out of nowhere. Haha.

  

The protective big sister. They are so sweet together. 

   
They ditched the straws at one point and ended up with bright red, stained hands.
  

Sunday.

 Came home from church today around 5 PM (spent about 45 minutes afterward talking to my lovely friend Karalee outside on the church steps about boys & life. Nothing new.) Came home. Plopped down on my bed in my Sunday clothes and snuck in the last 20 minutes of work I needed to get done this week... shhh, don't tell. Downloaded a couple new songs from itunes. Ate dinner. Answered "Nope. Nada. Ain't happenin'." to the twenty-fifth time I was asked if Mr. Eleven Year Old Nephew could be on my computer (which is a record low to his normal 50 times a day). Took silly pictures with that same nephew in Photo Booth- where red soda pop was then spilled all over my floor because it was tucked under the edge of my bed without my knowledge. Argh. Felt bad for scolding young child. Cleaned up red soda. Encouraged child to go to bed. EARLY. Cleaned & organized my office a little. Went through photos of my recent trip to the Oregon Coast. Made a noble goal to start working on Project 365 album. What? It's only July. Read a little. Blogged this most exciting post. Bed. 

 A most pleasant Sunday spent at home.
