V-day shoot

My brother Troy sent the girls in the house a Valentines Card. I decided to try out my new background stand and take an impromtu thank you picture to send to him. I can't wait to get a few different colors for the background since white is really hard to photograph with natural light. Anyway the kids had fun in front of the camera...again! Don't you love Emma's socks and tights look. We're bringing the 80's back.

First Dance Competition

Madelyn had her first dance competition of the season on Saturday. She did a great job and she had such a great attitude all day. We didn't have to rush too much and it wasn't too stressful. It was a nice way to start out the competition season. This is a picture of her in her last costume of the day. This is for her lyrical dance Fields of Gold.

Valentine's Day Treats

Here is Madelyn and Ethan with their stash from school.

Hide and seek...or just hide

This is what Emma does lately when she has something she knows she's not supposed to have...which is quite often. She started out just grabbing something, running a few steps away and just closing her eyes. I think she figured that if she couldn't see us we can't see her, even if she's just a few feet away. She now loves this hiding spot between the couch and ottoman. The funny thing is, when we find her she usually gives up the forbidden item easily. It must be the thrill of the chase. P.S. Don't mind her crazy hair!
