Project #2...check

This has been a work in progress for quite some time. It took us a while to decide how big we wanted the outside frame and how many frames we wanted on the inside. Then we had to find all the frames (clearance baby clearance) which took awhile. Next we had to decide what family photos we wanted to use, here was the criteria: the photo had to be able to be enlarged to the desired size, the photo couldn't be too damaged, blurry, etc. you get the picture (no pun intended). Then it was off to photoshop for some touch up work and finally into the frame and onto the wall. It's been a long process, and are really happy with the final product!!

Here are some of the photos we used. These are not touched up or cropped, they are the original scans.

This is an old photograph of the Allred Family Farm. We really love the look of the old machinery.

Thanks Jenni!

While we were in Utah at our family reunion, my sister-in-law, Jenni took our family photos. It was fun to have a photo session with her. She took some great shots of us, but especially of our kids!!! You'll notice that I've added new pics on the right side of my blog...and Jenni took them! So cute! If you'd like to see more of her work click here.

this last pic is of Carley, Avery & Hailey three cousins all born w/in 4 months of each other!

Our Latest Beach Excursion

We went to the beach to hang out with friends and to fish of course. We decided to get a babysitter for Carley so that we could play with Luke and Emry....and so that I could take my camera. Here are some of our favorite shots from the evening.

I love the spectrum of colors (light to dark) in this one and the clear differences between dry sand, wet sand and ocean.These next few are just precious! I can't believe they did this for me and I captured it! Schweet! I didn't plan for them to be in coordinating swimsuits, but it ended up working out so perfectly.
