Okay, a misnomer.  Not *my* turn, but my kids.  With shoulder surgery looming in less than three weeks and my schedule completely full, it occurred to me that I had NO idea when I would be able to get the kids out for our holiday photos.

Today didn’t work out like I planned at all.  I had visions of perfect outfits and the ideal location.  Instead, my husband was (finally) closing the pool, my shoulder was absolutely killing me, we were muddy from being outside, my son was still wearing his soccer shorts and my daughter was covered in every food she had eaten today and wayyy too much pink of her choosing.  But the light – ah the light was gorgeous (as was the weather!).  Although the house being surrounded by woods is a pain in the butt when it comes to raking, it turns out it can make for a beautiful backdrop on a whim.  Who knew??  These are so far from warbrobe and planning perfect.  And knowing myself, I am sure I will go back out later in the week with them dressed in my “vision” but for today…these are total perfection.   (Plus, let’s face it, with how many sessions I have been doing I’ve been getting a little burned out and it was good to shoot for myself for 20 minutes)
