i can’t stop talking about what i did today. we had our very own family photo shoot! never done that before, i must say, it is very different being on the other side of the lens.
but the most exciting part is who i hired to do it. deb schwedhelm.
i can’t say enough about what an amazing experience it was, or what a beautiful, loving, talent woman she is.
if you ever have a chance to have her take your portraits (she is moving to tampa, florida but does travel, y’all!) you wouldn’t regret it.
here i am plugging another photographer on my blog! ha! that is how amazing she is.

any way. enough about me. check out these two little cuties!
my first twins and boy are they sweet!

i love this picture. my sweet 15 month old was in the middle of saying ‘mama’ she has such a funny face when ever she says that, so i am glad i got it on camera.

i never get tired of hearing ‘mama’. i loathe the thought of the day when my kids are too big and just call me ‘mom’.

By now you have probably read this post on my blog. If not, clicky on over there, man.
The other day I kinda thought it would be fun to have a contest. Then, I was cleaning out a junk drawer and found a $25 gift card to Canvas On Demand. Now, I have been needing to order new canvas of my little chickens, but I just haven’t had the time to find the perfect picture. And, I am in a rut.
SO.
I give you, a contest. Go out and shoot. Shoot until your brain hurts. Edit a little different, try new things!
Do something you have never done before. Try the golden hour, shooting in full sun or shooting at 7am!
Whatever your little heart desires. Just break out. Break out of your normal every day stuff.

Email me your pictures by 10pm EST tomorrow, June 12. rachael@goodytwoshoesphotography.com. I am not giving you a topic, because, well, I couldn’t think of one. I am just looking for something that pushes the limit. Something that is different from what you normally do, but still has YOU in it. I will be looking at your blog and or website.
I will pick the top 5-10 pictures that I love, then I will have a public voting in comment form on my blog.
Easy and fun!
Try and shoot something that you would use that $25 gift card to Canvas on Demand for.
ANY one can enter. :) Have fun and don’t hurt yourself.

Oh, and here is a picture because I can’t stand to blog with out one. I give you, my two youngest brothers.

This is my man, my guy, my bestest boyfriend, Tommy.
We had a mini-date night, watched Olivia and ate popcorn. Don’t tell his sisters.

Here is my one picture from today. Well, yesterday. I am 30 minutes late.

I love it. The sun was setting and she was trying to reach out and grab all light coming through the window.
she also has ET fingers. :)

Are you challenging yourself to break out of your normal and be a little different? Maybe I should have a contest….

Over the weekend I traveled out to Topeka, Kansas to photograph Chris and Alex’s beautiful outdoor wedding.
Mother nature had other plans, and it rained nearly the whole afternoon. Despite these conditions, and not having a tent, I tried my hardest to get some beautiful pictures of their day. Here are a few of them.

I had the pleasure of doing another Operation: Love Reunited session this past week. If you are a military family, please look into this charity. If you are a photographer, please think about giving your time to this charity! I can tell you that military families are some of the most gracious and amazing people you will ever met. I promise.
