Yep - its time for our annual road-trip to Lake Havasu. The in-laws spend three months there each year and we make an annual journey the same time as my BIL, SIL and cousins - so it is LOADS of fun (for the kids at least!) I will be out of email contact until the evening of Monday, June 2nd but I will have limited cell service so if you need me leave a message and I’ll *try* to find a spot!

Here is just one of my little weirdos from last year’s adventure….

okay….this shoot was soooooo long ago…can’t believe i am just now posting it but i have the MOST STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL coffee table book sittting here waiting to be delivered to them this week so I thought I’d post a sneak peek.
I am DYING to post photos of the book….but I ‘ll be patient and let the parents see it first! (be on the lookout next week!)

The thing I remember most about this shoot was how FAST it was! From the first shot to the last shot was only 37 minutes - I can work quickly but that was super-duper-fast!! Luckily (for me!) they are all so exceptionally photogenic it was impossible to take a bad photo!

Is it weird to start off showing the same exact photo three times??? This is one of those times when I am making *creative* decisions and I talk to myself like this…

“Jen - this shot looks GORGEOUS in color…”

but then I play around a little but and think “but you know - it looks amazing as a black and white also”…

and then I can’t leave well enough alone and must continue to play with a vintage look and say “damn! it looks really great this way too!”

Then I’m just stuck.

So I make a blog post - haha.

Okay - gorgeous parents make beautiful kids…

Who do y’all think he looks like? Just curious…

Isn’t she lovely? Isn’t she beautiful?

How cute are they???

….and we all know how much i love shooting families with dogs!….

(edited to add - I have NO idea why this post keeps disappearing! Then I repost, then *poof* it is gone again. ‘Tis a mystery…..)

Look at this cutie! He is so adorable!
I think 4 month old babies are SO much fun to photograph. All cheeky smiles and squeezable little chunky thighs - I just love em! I think this first on eis my new current *favorite photo*… His impish grin just melts my heart - and his daddy looks so proud…
