Thankfully there is the perfect place to share these photos over at Chic Homeschool Mama's. She runs a weekly "Monday Rewind" just for all those favorites that no one would get to see but you and your family otherwise!
I took over 500 pictures of the kids and some instruments outside for the prompt of "Sound of Music" in Scavenger Hunt Sunday, and then went a different route (which also took about 500 shots to get exactly the focus, composition, and angle I wanted). So here are few shots from that session.
They decided they were much more interested in checking out Huckleberry's Pill Bug colony than sitting for photos.
They apparently needed more dirt.
I have a really hard time deleting pictures of my kids. No matter how many almost identical photos I have or how "off" they are in some way. My theory is that I cannot start shooting in raw until I can find a way to make shooting 4000 pictures in one week mean I have no more than 400 saved pictures. Of course if I was better I wouldn't need to take 4000 pictures in the first place, but that is a different story. I am making progress at deleting but...
not enough. Her eyes are dark and shadowed and really don't have any detail, but I don't have another picture with her and the teddy bear and in those pig tails (her hair is rarely up because it is not a battle I'm willing to fight). Plus look at that expression! We cut her bangs--I'm hoping that will help me capture her eyes better.
I also took hundreds of pictures of flowers. One, flowers stand still and don't get tired of being a model. Two, I received an Orchid and a bouquet of Roses as a year end gift for my MOPS ministry. I am not sad to be passing the work on to someone else, but I am sad to be leaving my role as coordinator and no longer be working as closely with some wonderful ladies. I wanted to keep their gifts for as long as possible--and what better way than in photos?

kids always find something more interesting to do than have pictures taken! I <3 the color on the roses! great pic
Those are so great! I love your post & all you talked about. I think we all go through those times where we shoot & shoot & it takes so much to get them to come out like we envision. I love that you linked up with me & shared these! Totally made my day!
Fun photos of your kids! Mine don't like to sit still long either. I love that last photo of the orchid! Gorgeous! I hope yours lasts longer than mine did. :)
Your photos are lovely--and even though your children aren't the most willing models, they're super cute! There are many days when I'm so glad that I shoot with a digital camera and not with film or I'd be spending a fortune having everything developed! :D
Fun photos of your kids. I also like the colors of that last flower. The middle is so colorful.
