Wanna see the senior pics?

I've been taking dd's senior pics to save money. Here are some of the best ones I've gotten of her. There is one of ds in there too!

Wow, those are so good. Your kids are lovely and you are a very talented photographer.

You did a terrific job!

Your children are beautiful and the pictures are great, too.

Wow!!! those are great. I needed you to take my ds' last year....very expensive and not as nice as yours.

I love to take pictures! I told dh the other day that I would love to take classes and learn to be a professional. They charge a darned fortune here for senior pics and I could do it so much cheaper and probably get A LOT of business.

The group that took the pics for the yearbook wants 45.00 for 2 5x7 and 8 wallets!! And they are horrible! They took 5 drape shots of dd and not one of them is any good. Now I have to figure out how to make/fix a drape so that I can take some of her.

She's a Senior? She looks so young. Like junior high.

Oh, I remember when I was little and I thought that the high school kids were such big grown ups. Now they look like little children.

I am getting OLD. I am too young to be this old!

I am trying to do the same thing, but have found it much more difficult than I expected....especially since my daughter doesn't seem to really care about the senior photos. *argh* ....but I managed to get a few that I'm happy with at least, LOL.

Nice job, and great idea too!

LOL yep she's a senior! I can't believe my baby girl is going to graduate this year. Then it's on to college! Time just flies by!

It is hard isn't it? My dd gets grumpy and then we are done. I don't deal with grumpy LOL. I have a bunch from yesterday where she is just giving me what I call her "go away" look. And then there is catching the lighting just right and not having shadows, etc. I love the one with the white bird in the background. He just wandered into the picture and stood there like he was a king or something. And the one with the sunbeams was a total fluke.

I wanted to take dd to a cheaper professional here but after we looked at his website she said "mom your pictures are better than the professional ones I've seen. I want YOU to do it." So here we go!
