February 26, 2014 Thank you all so much for your comments on my POTD yesterday. They were all so much appreciated by me. This is the start of the family shoot that I did for my sister and her family after our Christmas get together. It is going to be a maxi-series, as opposed to a mini series. I took 1,300 + photos of her family that day. It was a labor of love But, I have to tell you, the lighting was brutal! As I mentioned earlier, it was hard at times to keep all the kids focused on taking their photos. So I thought I'd start with a funny one. This is taken on the front of an old red train caboose. Top row is sister's adopted grands Keysen and Alyssa. Bottom row are her natural grandsons Cade and Preston. Preston is 18 months old and a perpetual motion machine. At this shot, he's had enough & and he's bailing......we just started shooting and he was done! LOL.

February 25, 2014 This is my daughter Chenoa - I'm so proud of her, she's an amazing woman. Chenoa is holding the newest member of our family: Miss Presley Richardson. Presley is the daughter of my nephew Nick and wife Crystal (Chenoa's cousin's daughter). My Granddaughter Ashlee (daughter of Chenoa) is in the background.

And Grandma to Bill's 7 grandchildren." ~ Me "It's the moms of this nation - single, married, widowed - who really hold this country together. We're the mothers, we're the wives, we're the grandmothers, we're the big sisters, we're the little sisters, we're the daughters. You know it's true, don't you? You're the ones who always have to do a little more." ~ Ann Romney Cherish your family today and everyday my friends! Linda http://lgood.smugmug.com
February 17, 2014 There were some awesome letter enteries yesterday. I enjoyed browsing and I thank everyone for the comments left on my "B" letter. This is a picture of my sister Tammy holding her grandson Preston. He is a little firecracker, and looks JUST EXACTLY like his father Dylan did at his age. With this shot, I'll be starting a series of shots from our family Christmas get together. There were 30 people at the house. We had a ton of fun. Of course with that many guests at our house, we had our lunch and gift exchange in Bill's workshop. After lunch, my sister asked me to do a photo shoot with her family. We had a great time, and I was honored to do it. As you can imagine though, keeping 6 adults and 5 kids all focused, still and eyes all open at the same time was rather challenging...all the while shooting in brutal light was tough. But it was a lot of laughs for all of us. You'll be seeing some of the sister's family in my upcoming series from her family's shoot.
