Black/White and Faded






Well, these are the final posts. I can change any picture to black and white or faded if you will just let me know which ones. I only do a few for the CD- because it takes a lot of time.

The whole session will be availabe to be seen by going to www.printroom.com/pro/nielsensflash
Scroll to the bottom of the list to 'T' Girls

This was so much fun!! Let me know when you have a few minutes again!!! Your girls are adorable!!!

A few more...





Ok, I just couldn't pass these up. They are just beautiful. Don't ask about the feet picture- They just looked so cute sitting there. You might be intersted to know that these 2 girls are just 7 and 11!! They carry themselves and handle themselves like teenagers!! Just gorgeous!

RR pics






Well, we heard a train- nad follwed the sound to the nearest track! We only had a very few minutes of daylight left so we were rushing around like crazy people! But Ithought these turned out so good- I just had to dhare them too!! I will work on a few black and whtes next.

More 'T' girls






Well, there is no such thing as a favorite with these girls! They don't take a bad picture! I am also going to post their RR track pictures- they were so good! I would hate to lknow I had to deal with these 2 girls as teens- those boys will be lurking around like CRAZY!!

'T' Girls






What contrasting beauties!!!! I had a GREAT time capturing these two sisters!It was kind of a last minute deal and the Mom said she wasn't too sure becasue they were so tired- but I honestly don't think they could have done any better!! They were angels- so compliant and easy. I could say smile, don't smile or stand on your head and they'd do it. They don't even know me- but were 100% comfortable!
They are both absolutely beautiful in totally different ways. They are both avid horse riders and the oldest actually just got back from a state competition. Wow- beauty and talent.
Well, thanks a bunch for calling me at the last minute- it was the best impromptu session ever! (We just drove around the corner to the 1st place we saw- too funny!) Let me know when you're ready to go again!!
I'm sure there will be more pics later- this is just a sneak peek!

Family...






Most of these pictures are of my friend's girls and her niece. The youngest is a niece. Of course, they all belong with the rest of the family in the last 2 blogs. Aren't they gorgeous?? I could have taken pictures all day - but the storm really stole my light!
I love the top picture- I think it's my favorite for the day! But don't worry- I have about 200 pictures that are not posted here! Some are even better than some here- but I was still editing when I started uploading and got to others I favored more. I have one of the Mom and Dad I really like.

The ENTIRE session will be posted in a day or 2 at my other website. Please go to www.printroom.com/pro/nielsensflash to see all of these and others I have taken.

Again-- thank you so much for allowing me to share these moments with you! You are a precious family!

Brothers and Sisters






These next 5 all belong together! The 2 youngest at the bottom are twins, and happened to be on our T-Ball team this year. They have the kind of spunk and energy that you just wish you could bottle and sell! Aren't they all beautiful?

All because 2 people fell in love...






Wow! 50 years holds a lot of memories for this sweet couple. By being around this family, I would guess that most of them are happy. I had so much fun capturing this bunch- we were in the rain- right on the outskirts of a thunderstorm! My friend - The daughter the shorter blonde hair- called me frantic. It has taken her at least a month to try to get everyone at the same place at the same time- and now a thunderstorm. I have to admit- I thought I might be wasting my time, but I couldn't let her down. And boy was I wrong! Even in the drizzle this family trooped on to honor their parents for their 50th anniversary.
I can't tell you how honored I am that you trusted ME to capture these sweet and special moments! Thank you for allowing me to be a small part!
What a blessed family you have to have 2 loving parents that have been committed to each other and their families for 50 years!!! May God continue to pour his blessing on you!!!

Baseball...






Well, I have not blogged in a while- and this is why. I photographed the District Tournament nearby. The boy in these pictures is my best friend's son (his portraits are in earlier blogs). I took about 2000 pictures in 4 days! Whew!!! It was fun- but a lot of work! I was glad to be a psrt of it. If you want to see the sports pics I took you can go to my gallery at www.printroom.com/pro/nielsensflash

Baseball...

The River






As you can see- we rode off into the sunset. That bottom picture is my little boy taking his last ride. We had so much fun. The top picture is my little girl and the boy of the couple we went with. I thought it was too funny. The others are the family we went with. They can do some great stuff on the water (explained in earlier blog) Thanks for taking us- we had so much fun!!!

Wow!!






I have to tell you -- I was awestruck when I saw this guy doing this kind of flip on a wakeboard! We go to church with him and his wife and boys. They are fit in perfectly and are so much fun to be around. They had asked us to go the river several times and we finally got a chance to go. We never discussed anyones talents, really, I knew they could ski and whatever, but out of no where he threw this flip!! My jaw hit the bottom of the boat! I don't have to tell you that these pictures were taken later when the surprise wore off! But poor guy, he had to do it like 3 times in a row for me to be satisfied. I wore him out! His wife can do the flip- she's still working on her landing. I am much impressed!
We had a GREAT time! I will post a few more of this day.
