photos on the farm....


Good news... the day of the "big event" dawned bright and sunny!! a perfect early fall day........
Everyone is here!!! Even Rachel.. Kassy' best and long time school friend, who is visiting us from Florida....
The props are ready..... not sure which ones we will need......
Kiddos dressed (and practicing.....)
Making decisions as to "what shall we wear"....
Tonka wants to know what is all the excitement and activity about......
It's a professional photo shoot!!!! Kass has hired this nice gal to come and take photos of the kids and thought the farm would be just the place to do so. We set up some "ideas" that we thought would be good, and so Kass walked her around to see if we were on the right track and to see where else she might like to take the photos......
Pictures were taken all around, Abbie was more than happy to "drive" the gator around, transporting different props here and there... 
And for the most part, both Reagan and Abbie cooperated with all that was asked of them. I was asked not to shoot photos.. (afterall, why hire a professional and then just steal all their photos).. but I did take some of them being taken. (and I can't wait to see what she will come up with)....
She used all sorts of different thing... the animals of course.. but different spots, and things... this one is Reagan on Papa's lawn tractor (sort of looks like we're making a movie or something!!!)
And as one can imagine not every photo will be picture perfect.... dogs - for example - running threw the photo opt.....
The shoot lasted a few hours... as I said, for the most part the kids were pretty agreeable, the nice thing is.. Kass just said "shoot away" and really didn't try for too many "posed" shots. But after everyone was done, one in little boy in particular was more than happy to run free and try out the slide on the swing set.....
He's pretty adventurous and really didn't want any "help"...

Even from his big cousin  (you go)......

Such a pretty day, that after the photographer left... I did take a few shot of my own. I dearly love this farm and every day, I take the time to thank the Good Lord for it's blessings!!!!!






"Hey Baby... this isn't a real dog???"  


Great day... one that certainly will be cherished......
