So every now and then a photographer/mom needs to photograph her own children!  I prepare the kids for WEEKS for this.  Talk about how quick we can be, a prize they can get at the end and of course, how well they are going to behave.  I pick the perfect outfits, well as perfect as I can manage because now that they are older they have their own opinions on their clothes, sigh.  But once more bribery has ensued, we are ready!  I drive to the well planned out location, and here we go!  We just never know how it will actually go!  Well the last 2 times my girl was the tough one so of course this time she is an angel and the boy was trouble.  We got it done, with some struggles and eye rolls of course and just in time before the rain started.  My God it is just never easy.  As promised, they were allowed to bring home some crabs and snails from the beach.  Not a great idea, by the way.  Anyway, they are lucky they are cute!
