This weekend my camera was FULL of BEANS! That is to say - the Bean Family! I was so HAPPY and EXCITED to be able to take pix for one of my all time most favorite peeps in the WORLD - one of my BEST friends - and her WAY AWESOME, WAY CUTE FAMILY! Her husband is SWEET and accommodating and her kids are super cute and full of ENERGY and FUN! I'm so glad I was able to spend a beautiful FALL afternoon with The Beans.
I know I have introduced you to my sweet, beautiful friend, Sherree, before. But did I mention how UBER TALENTED she is?? Check out her BLOG She did an amazing job of making decorations, planning, baking, decorating - you name it - she did it - for her daughter's wedding. I know she had lots of friends and family who helped out, but she was the mastermind and orchestrator of it all - she really did an amazing job, and paid lots of attention to detail. Whether it was making and sending out the invitations, making pinwheels, making the cake, frosting the cupcakes, cutting out and baking hundreds of little sugar cookies and icing them (SO CUTE), making the "just right" Lavender Lemonade, or punching out hundreds of little butterflies for table top confetti. Through it all, she remained the picture of grace and happiness - I'm sure she must have been totally stressed on the inside, but I was near her for most of the day, and whenever anyone asked, "where does this ...
Thank you to all those who have sacrificed so much in order for us to live in the BEST country in the WORLD! I felt so lucky and excited to be invited to my girlfriend's family BBQ this weekend at her parent's house, along with four of her siblings and their families. Between her boys and their cousins, there were plenty of willing (ok, maybe NOT so willing!) subjects on the loose. I just had to take advantage of the opportunity and capture some impromptu shots of them running around, having FUN together! They are all part of a very happy, fun-loving family, and I was blessed and lucky to be a part of it - even if it was just for the day.
great candid shots. i LOVE the shot of the feet in the sand at the top of your blog.
