    I really like to take photos of our three children with their grandparents. Both sets of their grandparents live across the country and while Skype is great for keeping in touch, it’s not the same as being in the same room. One of my few opportunities this year starts tomorrow-can’t wait!

    honestly, I love to take pictures of people and groups of people…family, friends, etc….but I like to make them all hold something in the picture! Usually it is something random, whatever I can find that is just naturally around! At first, most think I am crazy…but when they see how cute the picture comes out and its not just everyone standing at attention with a smile on, they LOVE it too!

    Thanks!
