monkeys, I tell you...a family of monkeys....

and
I'm so lucky to be related to them
remember the sneak peek of my sister up in the tree
?
well
here are a few more photos from that shoot
~~
I've been a little busy and have two photo consults ahead of them
before I can dive completely into all their photos
but
I just had to play around a little bit
with a few of them
because
well because
she's my sister

one of the best parts of the shoot
was that my hubby had my old camera
and
was shooting over my shoulder at what I was shooting at
or as I found out later
right at me
with
my 80-200mm lens
and
caught me in the act of catching these tree monkeys

so
these are some of the photos I took
except the ones that I'm in
~duh~
but
just wait until I show you some photos that the hubby got
~~
he's good
he's really really good
and
now I think he's going to have to stop carrying my camera bag for me
because he's sweet like that
and
instead
I'll have to hire him

Monkeys and tree huggers!

So I'm paging down and smiling and just as I'm thinking, maybe he should be shooting with her because he's got an nice eye, too....

Well there you said it right outloud!

Isn't it fun when we find another spark of wonder inside of someone we know so well and love so hard?

Wonder how that happens?!

Have a great weekend, dear Beth.

Love the idea of a couple working as dual photographers on a shoot! Then you could be sure to capture even more with two sets of talented eyes ! Just make sure he remembers who's the boss, though, right ?
Big hugs beautiful Beth !

You have such a beautiful and delightful family, keepers all of them, from hubby on down - and they smile for these pictures! My sons, at that age, would have been moaning and groaning about having to do photos!

Maybe you can negotiate a trade. Chocolate chip cookies seem to work well!

I expected you to be the highest one in the tree...with a jumping picture of you coming down! Actually, the first picture totally reminded me of Sound of Music when they're all in the tree along the road dressed up, in their father's horror, in old drapes.

I agree with Roban. Sheer joy always shines through in your photos. These are amazing. I am in awe. Not only are your subjects having fun, but you can tell that you have fun behind the camera. I just love these photos.

Jennifer said...
