Photo Shoot

Some of you may, or may not, have noticed my absense of posts for the past few days. I had an out of town guest and we were just hanging out. She is from texas, and I met her online! I met her about 5 years ago on the antiquated Myspace. Back when there were groups and people interacted together there. We have been great friends and I have always loved the stories of her boys. She was coming my way and said that she would come a day early if I would like to meet in person. I went the extra step and said she could come stay with us and visit! crazy I know but I am so glad that I did!

We had a great time. She learned to cook a few of my recipes and we had some lovely meals together. I taught her how to make my beef stew, and my chili. She took some lovely photos of each step of the stew, I will be posting that recipe this week. I will also be posting my recipe for Chili but we only have a finished shot of the chili no step by steps there.

My friend also happens to be a wonderful professional photographer. I know she has her own studio and I will have to see if she has a web page for it so I can link it! While she was here she did a photo shoot with each of us and family portraits outside in the beautiful Virginia countryside. I am so happy to be able to share these pictures with you all.

    Oh what gorgeous photos. What a treasure! They really are wonderful family photos. I love that you took the whole family, but then have special one-to-one photos with mum or dad and each child too. Very precious :)

    I can not take credit for the one on one shots, that was my friend! I am so glad that we did it they turned out great and I am sure the kids will cherish having a one on one photo with each of us.

    How cool that you got to meet in person. I almost met a couple of bloggy friends, but things just didn't come through.

    Your family, and the photos, are beautiful!!!

    Silly me! I totally spaced, focusing on the ones that didn't come through. I have met two bloggy friends, here at the LIFE is Good Unschooling Conference. In fact, I invited one of the bloggy friends to dinner last may. It was really great getting to spend that time with her. She is awesome!!!
