behind the scenes

So, let's be real for a few minutes.

Taking photos of the girls that aren't horrible

 takes a lot of work, and it doesn't happen all that often.

That's why I like doing monthly photos... it makes me

take time to capture some of these sweet and not-so-sweet

moments, too, as these two girls grow up so quickly 

before my eyes. 

The monthly photo shoot for Jane now

looks like this: Jane is happy, doing what she is told. 

Heidi, not so happy. Jane is getting too much attention.

Heidi wants to wear a sticker, too. And something in her 

hair. Heidi crawls all over Jane. Now Jane is mad and Heidi's

hair is in her face. Jane pulls Heidi's hair and now both girls are 

upset. I'm about to give up. But first, I give Heidi my phone.

She disables it, but I get a few good shots of both of them.

The photo shoot is now over and it takes me two weeks to 

post the photos because there are too many poopy diapers and 

I'm tired so I go to bed instead of blog. But, there's nowhere

else I'd rather be.  They are my loves, my life and my joy.

I don't know if I'll ever get a shot of Heidi without a crusty nose

or food around her mouth, but I've decided that it's okay.
