Who am I?

It was Adam's topic this week.  Self Portrait.  I take lots of self-portraits, but mainly for facebook.  And never have I had to explain why I took the particular photo.  So while this was an "easy shoot", it was difficult at the same time.  What does one do?  Adam is always making fun of me and my, what I like to call, eclectic, style.  I have a bumper sticker on my car that says "High Maintenance Cowgirl".  This was back when I was really into cowboy type stuff.  But I like getting dressed up and being edgy and fashion forward as well.  Therefore, my selfportait.  If I were thinking I would've work heals.  But, this kind of shows a fashion forward, high maintenance, cowgirl. :)

We scream for ICE CREAM

This is Evan, I am proud to call this little boy my nephew.  He is good kid, he loves his parents, his sister, his family, Jesus, tractors, guitar music, cob corn and ice cream.  It wasn't hard to convince him to eat an ice cream cone.  He was busy eating and I was just busy shooting photos of him, in the past I had a hard time photographing him cause every frame I shot he wanted to see it, the fun of digital I guess.  Well today he was more into the cone...I like to tell people a good photo captures a moment.  I look at this photo of Evan and can tell he has reached that point when he realized he ate the cold ice cream a little to fast and he has a bit of the brain and tummy freeze.
I have to thank my siblings: one for providing the child and the other for the ice cream and cones

Enjoying Summer

Today, Sunday, we spent the day at Adam's sister and brother-in-laws house celebrating Adam's mom's birthday.  Being that Adam lives in Mount Pleasant and doesn't have "easy access" to children to photograph, we made an exception to the rule and decided to wait until today to photograph our topic.  I had a major blonde moment this morning and didn't even think about the fact that I needed to bring my camera along.  Lucky for me I have a very loving, understanding and sharing fiance.  Adam allowed me to use his camera to capture some photos of the kids eating ice cream.  So after Alaina's little snooze on me, we got up, got her some ice cream and went outside to enjoy it.  I took a bunch of photos, looked through them on Adam's photo and chose this one as my favorite.  When Adam got home and settled he emailed me the image...and this is what we have.  A photo of Alaina enjoying summer with a yummy icecream cone and sprinkles. :)  I love kid :)

Update...

We missed our deadline last week, we have already been punished.  We don't have any good reasons, so we won't make excuses, we will try not to let it happen again.  We apologize to our many fans and know we both feel horrible that we let you down, we hope it will not happen again.  

We do have a fun topic for this week, SELF PORTRAITS

Children/Baby, come on

Cooked

I didn't believe it until I tried it.  A warm day, direct sunlight and a hot, I mean hot brick it all came together.  I was tempted to eat it, but passed, the brick didn't pass for clean exactly.  I have cooked some fun stuff-pizza rolls in a camp fire, that was one no one thought would work, but everyone wanted to enjoy, the egg in the back yard was a first. I is not the quickest way to cook an egg, but made for a fun photo.

"The Female Bobby Flay"

I enjoy cooking.  When Adam and I first started dating I enjoyed cooking for him, and shortly after this Adam described me as the "Female Bobby Flay".  I was very confused by this and later had to ask for an explanation.  Come to find out Adam noticed something that I had never noticed.  In the words of one Adam Miedema this is why I was labeled the "Female Bobby Flay": She always has to make herself a cocktail before she starts cooking.  So, short of photographing myself once again, I decided to take a photo of my mid-process cooking...as you will notice there is a cocktail :)  And in case you are wondering...dinner was delicious!  ENJOY
