A little over a week ago, David and I brought the photo booth to Devin’s Graduation party at a nearby park in Lake St. Louis.  Devin and his family are great friends of ours.  So, it was exciting to set up at an event where we were surrounded by so many of our good friends.  It made for an outstandingly (is that a real word?) good time!  It was so much fun to watch everyone’s prints come out and see who came up with the most original poses.  We loved it when Devin’s great grandmother accompanied him in the booth to take photos.  I’m so glad that he will have those forever in his memory book.  I also loved the fact that I got an opportunity to “crash” a few photo sesssions. 

Here are a few prints from Devin’s party.  I love the way that the graphics turned out on these prints with the theater marquee and the velvet curtain, sorry about the watermark…

I feel so blessed to have the most gorgeous family at my camera’s disposal.  They are always obliged to pose as my models.  And the funny thing is, they never seem to mind.  Here’s the story, I’m the oldest of 6 children in my family.  I have 3 sisters and two brothers.  And due to a series of semi-tragic events, we have very few photographs of our childhood.  Perhaps this is why we have such wild imaginations and developed crystal clear memories.  We seem to hold on to every memory as if it were the only one we have.  However, as we all approached adulthood, we became snapshot crazy!  For each family event, everyone shows up with their shiny new digital cameras, and we all start snapping away. 

But this time, I got to visit my beautiful sister, Ashley and with her unbelievably handsome baby boys last Saturday all by myself.  I’m so proud to be ‘Auntie Rie.’  So we found a room that boasts the most amazing light and put the twins through misery.  We dressed them alike, we undressed them….down to their birthday suits.  And, we put them in every position we could possibly think of.  They are 5 weeks old, and I really wish that we would have had the opportunity to do all of this sooner, but there were too many things that stood in the way.  Namely, that terrible, terrible flu.  Despite the fact that I didn’t get all of the shots that I had hoped for, we ended up with some pretty amazing stuff. 

Because my paid jobs take up so much time, I haven’t had a lot of time to go through the images and put my final touches on them.  But I just couldn’t wait any more to post some of my favorites.  I’ll have more soon…I promise, but here are a couple that make me smile.

Here’s Kingston, sleeping…these boys hated being naked.  As soon as we covered them up, they fell asleep.

Here are the duo together.  I think that this is their first fight…  This shot is a little out of focus, but I couldn’t help but post their first fight.  We know they will be double trouble.

 Much better.  They had their pacifiers and clothes.  They were truly little heartbreakers at this point…
