Tyler from Blue Lily photography was driving cross country from Ohio to New Mexico and stopped in Kansas
for a family photo session with me and my crazy tribe.

i wore my new sparkly pink cons.
🙂

i found out tuesday night that we would get to take our pictures on sunday.
that is short notice for picking outfits for five kids and you & your man.
but i LOVE a challenge.
and shopping.

old navy, target, justice, Rue 21 and good ol' walmart took good care of me.
i got everyone all matchy-but-not-too-matchy-matchy…and we met Tyler at 7 AM for our pictures.

seriously.

it's GREAT light at sunrise.
if i hadn't seen it for myself for Kimberlee's shoot i wouldn't have believed it….but sunrise is gorgeous.

he said we were the earliest shoot he's ever done.
RAD.

and my kids weren't perfect.
some of them acted up a bit.
some of them were a little too goofy.
one of them threw herself on the ground and not so sweetly declared to be done !
but….

they are kids and tyler knows that.

so i just try to put it out of my mind….
they did their best.
no kids like to get up at dawn and get their pictures taken at a cruddy old barn.
right?

and then we hugged goodbye and tyler took off to New Mexico.
it was waaaaay too short.

way.

and i didn't even get to see wendy.  :(   waaah.  

but there will always be more photo fun to be had with the blue lilys.

it's a guarantee.

remember this?  ….yeah more fun in the future…for sure.

THANK YOU TYLER!!!!!
