Family Pictures

As you all know I am a lover of Craigslist and especially free items of Craigslist.

One day I saw that a local photographer was trying to build her portfolio and willing to take pictures for free.

Well I totally jumped onto that deal.


When I emailed her about being interested in a photo session. She responded back by saying that she has read my blog and was shocked I was in her area!

Now I have met Megan from Grayden Lane Photography!

Doesn't the blogland make the world even that much smaller?

As we were going to get our pictures, I was a little nervous since (1) it was free (2) well I did find her on Craigslist...so who knows about the quality and (3) both boys have cuts and/or bruises on their face.

Isn't is just the way. No bruises and then you book a photo session and WHAM. It is like their faces are little magnets to get everything throw at them.

Now let me tell you that Wild Man was NOT in the mood to take pictures, but you wouldn't know with the pictures that she took.

Here are some of the photos from the session.

We asked Wild Man to sit next to Romeo and this is the reaction we got.

Can I ask for prayer from now on for when he is a teenager. Goodness.

Then folks I have a rare sighting for you.

A picture of me!

I HATE getting my picture taken. I am much more comfortable behind the camera...and that doesn't mean me always taking the pictures. It is just when I see a camera, I run behind it.

I kid you not, before our wedding. I told Mr. Genius to enjoy the day of pictures of me cuz it won't happen again.

I have been like this since birth.

It is a curse.

Just ask my mom.

But I do really like this picture of us as a family and I LOVE the scroll door that is behind us so I thought I would still share.

I don't really look happy in the picture. It is probably because I was getting my picture taken.

So now you know what I look like, it maybe a couple of more years til I get another picture of me on this blog.

So now people if you are in the market for a photographer, go and check out Megan's website at Grayden Lane Photography.

This month her promotion is  40% off prints or a cd and if you are a fan on facebook a custom 8x8 collage including up to 9 of your images.
