An outtake from a photoshoot.  Om nom nom.  Disclaimer:  No pastors were harmed in the making of this image.   As seen in 2010.

Congenially

This was a test shot while I was setting up for Christmas pics in 2005.  Mom was always willing to be my guinea pig for pictures, for which I was always very thankful.  Not everyone is a willing participant for pictures.

Reservedly

Mom giving me "the look."  As seen in 2008.

 

Blithely

 Another one of my bestie from yesteryear.  She said this was her husband's favorite pic.

Uninhibitedly

I haven't blogged this image before because it's severely out of focus.  However, as the years go by after a loved one has passed and new images are no longer forthcoming, I'll take what I can get.  

All I had to do was tell Mom to act goofy for the camera and she always obliged.

Dewie

My friend reminded me that we did a practice photoshoot 11 years ago today.  I remember it being bitter cold and I made him stand in a snowdrift for these shots.  He didn't wear gloves and had tennis shoes on; by the time we were done, he was a popsicle.  He deserves the Good Sport Award.

Bonhomously

Outtake from 2008, processed today.

Alertly

Digging into the archive again tonight.  This was an outtake from a photoshoot on the same day as last night's image.  I don't think he was expecting the camera flash to be so bright.

Felicitously

I dug into the archive for tonight's image.  This was taken 10 years ago today as part of a photoshoot of my former pastor and his lovely wife. 

At the time, he had been recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and I wanted to get some nice shots of them together before that evil cancer ravaged his body.

The only picture I ever regret is the one I don't take.

Mommy

Remembering my mom at Christmas.  She was the bestest.  ~Celebrating 31 days of Christmas

Womanly

One of my favorite pictures of my great-grandmother.  From what I've been told, she was quite the  spitfire, with fiery hair to match.

Photogenically

Love that smile.  An outtake from 9 years ago today.

Kindly

Gone 4 years already.  Miss you, dude.  You were the best!

Friendly

My Cuz, a vibrant and active lady who could walk circles around me.  Taken in 2008 and re-worked today.

Companionably

Throwback Thursday 2007 outtake.  Love these two people.

Agreeably

Kitty

Angel, my Itty Bitty Kitty

Motherly

Edie would have been 74 years old today.  

She was mother hen to her neighborhood and had a passion for children everywhere.  Each summer she looked forward to Vacation Bible School at church.  She was also one of my childhood babysitters and another "mom" in our close-knit little church.

She didn't live to see me and her son get married, but I know she would have been pleased.

This flashback Friday image is from 2008.

Mom for Mother's Day

Taken in 2008 and re-worked today.  Love you, mom.
