New family photos

Just discovered that I will NEVER do my own family photos again.  I LOVE having someone else tell these people what to do.  They behave better for someone else, so worth the money.

I DID IT!!! My final for Photography class, enjoy!

My favorite

Yep, my favorite one.  (wiping a tear)  When did this happen?  I can use this as his graduation invitation AND his mission farewell invitation!!

D'Kota's Senior Pictures

 OK, I need help deciding which
ones to use.  Please give me input.

My homework, (cover face, fake sound of disgust) UGH!

If I was having ANY more fun

 

someone would probably

 

have to hose me down.

 

Cheesey I know, but the one below is a card I had to do.

Watch out Hallmark, here I come!!!

Revisting

MADSON FAMILY REUNION

We will start off this post with my favorite of all the reunion pictures. I think this one says it all. The reason we have family reunions. Of course the story behind this picture was me, Aunt Angie was being told to follow and take pictures of the things they liked. "Only what we want Aunt Angie." So you can thank Gen and Annie for this one.

They look SO much like their mothers that it is almost sickening, am I right?

I have seen this face on Wendy many a time.

That darn branch kept getting in the way and it apparently could not take orders as well as Aunt Angie cuz it was told several times by the boss of this photo shoot to stay out of the way. We all know who that boss is right?

I did not take this picture. I was asked if a cute little girl could take some pictures with my camera. Not sure if it was part of her quest or not, like I would have turned her down anyway. Doesn't Aunt Chavonne look AMAZING?

O look! The cute little girl who asked to take some pictures with my camera. She also wanted me to take some pictures of her. She did! I can show you the bruises where she twisted my arm! Also proof that she is eating now!

Poor Mark and Andrea are going to be in such trouble when she starts dating. Maybe even before that. Big brown eyes are hard for guys to ignore, just ask your Uncle Eric.

Too cute not to repeat.

This one will probably shock you guys as much as it shocked me. This is Mom and Dad's bed, dare I say it out loud? It..... is..... UNMADE!!!!!!

Here we have the demon eyed "ugliest Goddess". I was surprised the mirror he won, and is looking into didn't break! He is so proud of winning that contest.

Of course this is one of Chavonne's kids!

Wondering who all these people are and if he really has to call them family.

Here his older sister is wondering the same thing.

Apparently someone wasn't playing nice. Or she is jealous that Jayden got to stick his face in the whip cream and she didn't.

Just what is the conversation going on in Ellie's mind right now?

Yes, all wrestlers warm up before every match. Here we have two who are warming up the body part they will be using in this here match with the whip cream and candies. And of course one of the Golightly's wondering again about these people.

SHAKE IT DAD!! Thank you Totsy for the opportunity to get pictures of Grandpe spelling his name with his butt.

I think I may use this one to get some poor girl to marry D'Kota. "See? He CAN be a nice boy and not a butt all the time!"

Now I heard that there was some sort of monster-ish thing wandering around the Lodge and the bathroom. But I never did see it. I did see Jesse a couple a times, (really should get that thing on your face checked out my dear). But I didn't ever come face to face with anything. Maybe I did get a photo of it. Is that big blob it?

Even with Mike on his rock and Mark trying his hardest to hide behind Amy, I think it turned out really good. Man! Someone really needs to be paying me to do this kind of thing!

O wait! Is this the scary thing hanging out at our camp? No, you silly! This is a goober!!!

WATCH OUT!!! ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE GOOBERS!!!

O YOU GUYS! GOOBERS ARE HARMLESS!

THOUGHT BUBBLE: If I just stand here with this smile on my face and not look her in the eye, will she leave me alone and let us go home?

Andrea sweetheart, your hair is fine. Just hold still and look at the camera please. Sheez!

THOUGHT BUBBLE: Don't look her in the eye, don't look her in the eye! It's a sign of aggression.

THOUGHT BUBBLE: Just shoot me already! I HATE this side of the camera!

That IS a pretty smile Wendy, thank you! (dripping with sarcasm)

Chavonne, just what are you looking at? None of the rest of it see it! WE'RE LOOKING AT THE CAMERA!

WHISTLE! Chavonne! Over here dear!

THOUGHT BUBBLE: I don't think we are all going to fit. I really do think she has gone crazy this time.

"MADSONS (not Luke) I AM YOUR FATHER!" Grandme, "You guys better stop laughing and go to sleep or I'll wake Grandpe up!" Famous last words.

Wendy's grand kids of course, goofing off instead of holding still and looking at the camera.

TYPICAL! Wendy's grandkids need to be spanked!

It only makes it worse to sit them next to her. I quess for as much work they did for this year's reunion, they have a right to go a little crazy now that it is done.
I do have a lot more, and better, pictures if you all want some. Let me know.
