I’m visiting my sister and brother-in-law (and neffypoo!) in Columbus, MS for Thanksgiving.  Today, we frantically got ourselves ready and out the door to beat the fading daylight so I could get take some family portraits.  I am the WORST-AUNT-EVER, and I didn’t take one single non-camera-phone picture of neffypoo when he and my sister visited me in August.  So…I HAD to take pictures this time.

We headed to the historical downtown area for our mini-shoot.

first we have Bek-the-sister being adorable…

but josh & neffypoo wouldn’t be outdone.

And of course, I had to take the opportunity to get a few cute shots of just the happy parents.

Isn’t her headband CUTE? It’s her early Christmas present…and, uh, I definitely have the same one in my etsy cart right now.

My family is awesome…you want proof? My sister is going to make me an almond pound cake tomorrow, JUST BECAUSE she knows how much I love almond flavored desserts.

back in june, i traveled down to charleston, sc to shoot with the fantastic tomme hilton. (yeah, um, i still need to blog about her…because this post isn’t about that.)
i went to charleston via fort bragg, nc (apparently kids these days call fayetteville “fayette-nam.” i’m not sure what connotation it’s supposed to carry, but i’m pretty sure it’s negative, and i’m CERTAIN it’s earned it. it’s not what anyone would call a “garden spot.” anyway…) my good friends roger & gina live there. you’ve seen gina and their blue-eyed daughters before, but now the fam is all together (!!), so we took the opportunity to do a photo session celebrating that.

gina and i did some scouting earlier in the day…and then, in the way these things go…didn’t use ANY OF THEM. but it’s ok! that’s one of the things i really like about this job. learning to let go of the ideas i had and take the situational lemons and make some ROCKIN’ lemonade. or lemon sorbet, or italian ice…or LEMON BARS. mmmmm. (and if it’s morning, i wouldn’t say no to a batch of lemon poppy seed muffins.)

(can you tell it’s almost 1am, and i am…distractable?)

r & g…you know i love you guys, and your little childrens…and i’d even let you set me up again. (but roger, let gina get to know him first next time. )
