… And Then He Said That He’s Never Seen Dogma.

I didn’t really have much time to pick up my camera this week… I’m still buried beneath lots of design work and spent most of my time making things “no not that purple, something a little more violet but not actually violet, you know?”

No, actually I don’t.

So here are a few that we took at the park on Monday and then some.

Mind not the blur…

I obviously forgot how to focus. In. Every. Freaking. Picture.

Demmit… Sometimes it’s a little hard to keep believing in my perfection.

I just don’t know how I do it everyday.

All of my kids are in desperate need of a haircut...

    mmmmm….. Sonic….. I {heart} Sonic Cherry Limeaides.

    The kiddos are awfully cute… and as I said in my Thursday Thirteen a few weeks ago, capture who your children are TODAY — needing haircuts, scabby knees, and everything.

    Your kids are beautiful.
    I love the naked boy and that he thinks that is his superhero name.

    Fabulous! And I don’t see the focus problem so therefore it does not exist. See? Poof, all gone! Anyway awesome pictures of your kids and I’m bummed. I’ve never tried Sonic. By the time they hit Pittsburgh I had moved to Belgium.

    We can call it “soft focus” if you’d prefer, but I think it’s just fine. :) Nice pics!

    It’s been way too long since I’ve dropped by here – bad blog buddy. :(

    Great pics!

    These are lovely shots! Seriously wonderful portraits.

    And any fuzziness simply looks like an artistic choice, your perfection is maintained.

    First…I love Dogma.

    Second, yes, I know your pain about the colors. What really sucks is when they decide on something and then decide that isn’t what they wanted AT ALL and you have to re-do the whole damn thing. The only thing worse I think is when you get a stubborn client that wants something truly horrid, and you try very hard to get them to go with something not quite so horrid but they refuse, and then you are too embarrassed to put your name on it.

    Third, if you hadn’t said anything I wouldn’t have known about the focus. Everything is out of focus for me now days anyway..called lack of sleep.

    Oh my heaven….you have a gorgeous family…and those are some of the best kids shots I’ve seen! Kids move so fast and so often that it’s hard to get ones that are in focus, etc. But, you’ve done a fabulous job!

    eventually your children will cut their hair — short. enjoy it while it’s long and touchable.
