January 2017

 I set up my light and backdrop to practice. I'm really out of practice. I rarely have time to go shoot photos any more. Wouldn't change that though. Sure do love to take photos of my kids though!

 This is Bay's 13 year old picture. I love it.

 We didn't really have a theme for her birthday. Just happy polka dots!

 She wanted to do the puzzle room, so that's what we did. We ALMOST got out on time. We had ONE puzzle left to do.

 Craziness with friends.

 The kids did a group ski deal...I think it was called Free Riders. It wasn't lessons, really, although there was an instructor there. The goal was to get the kids familiar with the mountain, so that they could ski Powderhorn without mom freaking out. They did some black runs, and they are pretty solid skiers now.

This was the first day of Free Riders. From then on, the kids had ski poles.

 And it's time to start thinking about school again. BayLea and Amelia made some Emoji magnets for their lockers. They turned out super cute.

And here we are...early morning on the first day of school. We decided to meet up at the donut shop again with Amelia and Haley and that way they could head into school together. But first we had to do first day photos. Man, you both look so cute!

At Breccan's end of the first day, they had to take down the flag...the duties of the 5th grade students. Luckily I got there in time to take a photo.

 I had my backdrop set up at school to take teacher pictures, and so I decided to try some fun lighting on Breccan in his uniform. I wish I'd gotten some of BayLea too.

 BayLea's first volleyball game of the season for OMMS. She chose my jersey number from high school basketball.
