Professional Pics

We met a photographer at a local park in mid-October at 8:30 in the morning because I have a picture obsession and never fully trust my own pics. 

The light for outdoor pictures is best early morning or just before dusk so we went for early morning before the boys are covered in random bits of the day. We didn't fully anticipate the cold factor, though.  These poor boys did their best for me while freezing their ears off.  These pictures are in the order that they were taken.  Watch the ears turn red as you scroll.  Their coloring overall was a challenge in the frigid air and their hands did a disappearing act in many of the pictures.  Sorry boys. 

When the photographer posted the pictures on Facebook I was really disappointed.  Actually, I hated them and hid some of the pictures from my timeline.  But, I got the full disk today and the pictures that she didn't post are better.  Check them out.





















Meh.  Hopefully I got that out of my system for a while.  It did prompt me to buy a new lens.  We'll see if I can improve the quality of my own pics enough to stick with just those. 

I wish there was a way to take a picture of what it feels like to hold their faces in your hand.  Or, kissing them goodnight after they are asleep.  Or, getting that hug in the morning before they're really awake.  Now.  I don't want to forget now.
