Laughter IS the best medicine

Recently I asked my beloved family of 7 to join me in the woods for a whimsical tea party photo session. It was practice for me with carey anne photography as well as an inspiring group of women who are also perfecting their craft. My children are no longer surprised by my out-of-the-ordinary ideas and didn't balk as much as I'd expected. The oldest consented, although he had a million other places he'd rather be. Emma seemed to enjoy herself and willingly let the other photogs capture those brilliant blue eyes. Jess provided our jokes, including the one that almost had us in tears in the image below. Matt was..... well, as usual, Matt was everywhere. Nick was his loving self and cuddled up to anyone that had a camera and was enamored enough to let him push a few buttons. All in all, we had a good time. The children were able to see that mom isn't the only silly photog who will lay on the ground for a good shot, stand on a ladder while balancing camera in hand, make funny sounds to get someone's attention or makes the "prime lens groan".  And we ALL realized that the short walk into the woods became MUCH longer when carrying chairs, table, etc... See?  We are SOUTH OF SANITY!
