The great photo challenge...

Happy March everyone.. wow... it's wedding season again!!

So I met with a few photographers and those who love photography at Meg's house yesterday (check out our luncheon photos), and had SUCH a great time! They truly inspired me - so I am blogging again.

Meg's going to post a challenge I've presented to her and the photographers out there... here it is....
The Challenge Name: Getting to know the REAL you
Description: Showing photos that best describe your household (and its members) as it is NOW.
Rules:
-1 photo should be taken in each room of the house (ok, maybe we only need 1 bathroom shot ;-)
-No moving around things to get a "good shot"
-Photos should be rated PG-13 (just in case :-)
-When finished, post link to Meg's Blog

So here are my photos (used my 60mm, shot in Manual Mode, 2.8, 1/125) Only editing done- conversion to black and white (and I think I highlighted a couple of photos, but that's about it! No color correcting done.)

Bathroom

(Yes, with all males in the house, I have officially lost the toilet seat war).

This is the E-L-M-O that also lives with us (he comes in many forms)!
You'll notice lots of trucks and "manly" stuff around the house.

Umm... my next car, perhaps?? LOL!!
OK. You really can't see but the pig actually has a suction cup on the back-- this is on a door in the kitchen.

Look who I found in the living room!

And in his crib...
Mean face, mommy!
OK. Happy again!
In my (temporary) office...
In our bedroom.. yep, our wedding day. Love this photo because my husband was eating AFTER our reception. Nice...

In one of my sons' rooms... from the Jersey Shore with Grandma...
OK. This is bad. I have photos but yet to put one in. (Bad Mommy)

I came back downstairs to find... back in the Living Room..... hubby and feet!

Jacob & Jeter = Best Buds

Jacob was such a great model! (And the same goes for our four-legged HUGE friend, Jeter :-)

Meet the cutest "Brown Eyed Girl"...

Miss Mya

Finally! I get to meet Mya, a beautiful brown-eyed girl, who has such a calm disposition. I have become friends with her parents for a few years and was so honored to photograph her!

I have to laugh because this Blog won't allow me to post the amount of pictures I wanted of her..LOL! So here you go Krys--- who I know is anxiously waiting.... and rightfully so;-)

What a cutie!

Lilah is such a cutie pie! I have to say.. she is the first very "serious" baby I've met in a very long time :-) Although very content (she hardly cried at all!), she was probably baffled by all of us trying to get her to smile (not even her favorite duckie could do it!) But Mommy and Daddy were able to bring a smile to her face (above is just one photo)... and she was just a pleasure to photograph!

NOTE: I should probably also mention this on my website too-- gift certificates are offered (if you are unsure what to give as a gift for a baby shower, wedding, etc.) for on-site photography sessions (such as this one!). It can be a really neat gift to give that truly lasts a lifetime!
