WOW!  The girls are ROCKIN!!!   I thought the guys had some great shots, but the girls are  STEPPIN it up a notch.  Get ready guys, next time we are going to have a hard time out doing this shoot!  Check out these…

 

we started in a sunflower field, then went to a friends farm outside of Gardner.  And got some cool stuff on the tractor, hay  bales,  with the horses, and in a nearby corn field.

Then we went to a place I spotted on my way home from Lawrence the other day.  It was a beautiful field where a large tree had fallen over and roots were all exposed, it was awesome  in the sunset.  The only bad thing was that at the end of the session, a man came flying up to us in his truck, got out quickly and started yelling that we were on private property and that we did not have permission, and that we needed to leave and not come back.  I apologized over and over, but that did not seem to help.  He took our licence plates , so I asked if he wanted us to stay while he called the police, and he said no just go.  I was scared that he might claim that we had caused some type of damage tohis field so I took photos of where we were parked and we left.  OOOOPS! BUSTED!  I guess it was bound to happen sometime, most people are just curious about what we are doing on their property, and when I tell them we are just taking pictures, they usually say sure, no problem and are flattered that we enjoy their place enough to want to use it for portraits.  I try to ask permission, when a house is near, but I did not see a house on this piece of property.  Anyway He was not happy, so I will not be using his dead tree anymore in the sunset.  SORRY guys, it is a cool place though check out these images.

 

 

So then when we got ran out of here, we decided to go cause more HAVOC.  We went to the High School Football field.  BUT guess what they were SO COOL about it, that they even turned on the lights for us to use the field.  How AWESOME is that???   

We got these fun shots here.  Some of the action shots are really blurry, because it was so dark, but they are neat, so I am including them for everyone to see.

So, then we went one more place.  Can you guess where these were taken and what lights we used??

Chelsea is studying to become a chef.  and what a cute chef she is.  We were talking and she seemed very vintage to me, so we set up a vintage set , and she fit right in!!!  Wow!!! these are AWESOME!!!

Don’t you just love em’

and one more that pretty much  represents how I felt today. 

Okay, So my sister’s husband Mike is a bit of a comedian and the girls are catching his sense of humor.  My sister had an idea to recreate a Brady Bunch picture at the beginning of the show. I think it turned out really cute.  What do you think?  This is just sooooooooo   them!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Okay so we just got back from visiting   Pheonix Arizona.  At first, I thought   NO WAY!!!!  I would NEVER want to live in Arizona!   UNTIL, We went to Sedona.  Oh my Gosh!!! It is BEAUTIFUL.  The red rock and green trees.  It is AWE inspiring.  I would totally move there.   It is way cooler there, than Pheonix and there are actual trees in Sedona.  

We also saw the Grand Canyon.  Isn’t God Great?    WOW!!!  I  could not beleive the  massive  size of just the small portion that we could see.  We were at the south rim.   We stayed and watched the sun set, then drove back to sedona. 

This is my  fearless / show off  husband   he had to climb down and stand on the edge of the cliff.  He drives me CRAZY!!!  But seriously, isn’t he cute??

Here are my cutie petutie kidos, just like their father, close to the edge of the Grand Canyon.

Then, three of my four sweeties on the “edge”

And Lexi and I.  See the look on her face.  I told her she could not date until she is 30, no, I can’t remember what I said , but I have been getting this look a lot lately.  It must be a tween thing??

We stopped along the road and caught this shot before the rain in the Canyon.  Isn’t nature AWESOME? 

My husband has decided to skydive in every state and country that we visit.  This is at Red Rock skydiving.  What a neat dropzone.  If you are a diver, this is a great place to check out.  The people and the facility were GREAT!!

This is in the Pheonix area, we were rock climbing and There were 2 rocks with a split in the middle, and this plane was coming in for a landing.  I have some other great shots of airplanes, but this is one of my favorite yet. 

We had a great time and saw some AWSOME places, and met some NEAT people.  Our next trip will be to a conference in Italy, so stay tuned for images from there soon.
