Thank you guys for all the hard work and help, your family did AWESOME!!

I love everything about this family image!!  Fave fave fave!!!!

You Will Be Mine | Things I Like http://www.brendalandrum.net/blog/2010/07/someday-you-will-be-mine-things-i-like/ http://www.brendalandrum.net/blog/2010/07/someday-you-will-be-mine-things-i-like/#comments Fri, 23 Jul 2010 20:00:18 +0000 Brenda http://www.brendalandrum.net/blog/?p=3975 Warning:  Not photography related at all!  Just being ME today.

Do you ever have that one thing that you want and dream about all the time but just can not have it?  I have something that I dream about, several times a week when I’m doing the laundry.  See we have lived in this home for 7.5 years and of course with newly built homes (don’t worry it’s a cookie cutter) you usually get the washer and dryer with it or at least we did.  At that time front loaders were extremely expensive and not even on my radar so mine are the good old fashion kind.  Remember what those looked like?  Ha ha ha!!  Well over the last few years I have been DREAMING about getting a front loading washer and dryer, especially when there was that great government tax credit and everyone was buying them!  Yeah, I was jealous.  It just didn’t make sense for us to buy something new when ours were working just fine and still do, unfortunately.  So until I can convince my hubby to spend almost $2k to wash clothes ….. I will continue to dream.

They sure would look nice!

Laura over at Couture Colorado has a wonderful series of posts called BE MARRY and I just had to share this one with you.  This post by Kristen Simpson-Chandler MA, LPC really makes you think about some things to discuss before you tie the knot.  Even for some of us who have been married for a long time should maybe go over these things again, like who does what around the house.  Ya…I’d like more help in that department and I’m guessing there are a lot of you out there that feel the same.  Ha!  Anyway, some of the topics are about money, children, chores, & one you may not think to talk about and that is the in-laws.  How to split holiday’s and so on.  So head on over to Couture Colorado to read more!!

The below below doesn’t just have to be for a family either, everyone can take something from the inspiration board.  Couples, just kids, individual’s and etc!!

I hope that these inspiration boards help you when deciding what to wear!

Casual clothing suggestions for a family session.

Today is a first for me.  I am not posting any black and white images in my faves!!  What?!?  I *love* black and white images and when I shoot I am constantly thinking about how it will look in black and white.  For some reason I love the color images so much more in this session.  Don’t get me wrong, the black and whites look great and I did post a black and white for the coming soon teaser but the color is just speaking to me today.  Ha!

Thank you again and again for asking me to document your family!!  I really enjoyed our time together and I hope you LOVE your images!

Cute cute cute!!
