Forget Me Knot Photography

Things have been a little busy here. Friday I had a newborn shoot. I am not entirely sure how it went. He was absolutely adorable and absolutely not going to sleep! I was there for 2.5 hours. I hope that I got at least a couple shots that his parents will like. I have to start going through them.
Yesterday I went out for a couple of hours with hubbys cousins kids who are absolutely adorable. I have tons of those to go through too!
Here is one that I did of my friends sister the other day. We went out for a faux senior shoot (she's only going to be a junior next year). It was fun. This was by far the start shot of the day. I LOVE it!!!





And here are a couple of shots of my son that I was playing around with tonight. He is such a boy, but I love him!



This one is actually my desktop now. I love his eyes in the picture!

The man has been in and out of the hospital the last two weeks getting chemo and then he got hit with an infection and has been in since Wednesday. I will try to get some pictures up in the next couple days though. I still haven't shown off my little mother's day haul from the kiddos!

About a month ago my dad was here for a visit. It was nice. He lives almost 3 hours away so we don't see each other much, but the kids and I all love when grandpa comes to visit. Yesterday the son and I had a short little conversation about grandpa that went something along the lines of:
"Mom, don't you wish grandpa lived with us?"
"Well, that might be nice honey, but why?"
"Well, if grandpa lived with us then he could clean the bathroom sink and I wouldn't have to do it anymore."
I had to crack up a little at that. The bathroom sink is usually the son's job, but the last time my dad was here he helped us do some cleaning one morning and he did the bathroom for me. It's funny the things that kids will remember!
So, these are some pictures that I took during grandpa's visit. You can see the difference between my children when you look at the storyboards. The daughter LOVES having her picture taken and posing it up, the son wants nothing to do with it! He is such a booger.


The big picture on here I used Leah's awesome free texture that she posted on PIF blog. This has to be one of my favorite free textures I have found.

The other day we went to Lowes to pick up some flowers for the garden outside. I saw this Dahlia and fell in love! I know nothing at all about plants but I thought that it was just gorgeous and I had to have it! It's called a soft perennial which means that it blooms every year, but you can't let it freeze so we will have to bring it in this winter. These pictures make me want a real macro lens so very badly!

I started a blog! Now we'll see how good I am about posting on it!
