Here is a teaser pic...
How about a little story? Since someone is waiting ever so patiently (and leaving blog comments on other posts to remind me that she is waiting) for me to post some pics, I will now grant her wish. She probably skipped past the story and went straight to the pics like some others of you might do. Maybe I'll quiz her on the story part.
Another teaser...
My dear friend, Rachelle, is the happy mother of 7. Five of those children happen to be the cutest, funnest, most adorable quintuplets I know (and have been honored to photograph since they were newborns). I love their family, their older 2 get along great with my older 3, and who doesn't love the 5 babies (that's what we call them at our house--even though they are almost 3). We try to get together just for fun about once a month. We live about 25 minutes away from each other, so its an effort worth making.
She told me a while back about a friend who has 25 acres with longhorns and fields of bluebonnets in the springtime. I said to let me know and we could all go together (and take pictures, of course). Last Saturday we went, and an hours drive later, we arrived, and it was QUITE the adventure!
This shot is through the window, you can see the car at the bottom. We were told to follow Bob (the ranch owner) through the herd, but he got through too quickly and the longhorns started gathering into their group again. They didn't want to move, and stared us down. It was pretty funny. Eventually we got out of there (3 cars of us).
My boys were really excited about this adventure because the LOVE longhorns. They are all about the UT pride, living in Austin. They are excited that their new school mascot is actually a longhorn, and I have plans to decorate their new room around this theme. So I had to capture some longhorns with plans to splatter their walls.
Not sure which ones I love yet....thoughts?
A few of them got annoyed with us and started making noise...
And this was the baby of the bunch (he actually head bumped one of the quints to the ground--scared her)
So we started to take some pictures....here are the Wilkinson's 7 cute kids.
Here is a pull back shot of more of the field.
Just the Quints on the fence....
Little helpers....
A little later, we got the beautiful evening light behind the tree.
I tried to get my daughter to hold the bluebonnet out in front of her, and she didn't like that plan (face #1--love that). I took one of her cuddling the flower as she wished (#2) and she then complied with my wishes (#3).
And since my baby is about to turn 1, I thought I'd get some of her alone...plus she doesn't complain much.
She waves now, which is so much fun. Hi or bye, we get an excited flip of her hand.
I don't know....I just thought this looked cool dangling in the air.
and Here I am, trying to get her to wave...
Ok, so she didn't wave in that one, but she did in this one.....
Thanks, to you readers for your enthusiasm and support:) I love to hear from you.
