There’s been a little bit of excitement around here for the last week because we found out about a casting call for military teens/tweens for Military Spouse magazine. So, I sent in pics of my 3 kiddos that fit the qualifications and got word back that they wanted to photograph Mariah. She was so excited! Her photo shoot was this past Saturday and she had a lot of fun with it. We then got word that she was chosen for the cover! We are all so excited for her! BUT……this meant that our WHOLE family (minus Clay because he’s deployed) was to be photographed for the inside of the magazine! This created excitement AND stress for me. I worried about how to dress everyone, how to get them to behave for the photographer and how to keep them all clean and tidy once they were ready. Well, Deb (the photographer) showed up Monday at 6pm to get shots of us outside, in, on and around Clay’s truck. It all went really well. The kids loved the attention and Deb was amazing with them! She’s shared a few shots from that day on her photo blog and I wanted to share the beautiful pics and the kind words that she put up. If you are in the San Diego area and are looking for a great photographer for family pictures or pictures for a special occasion, check out her website and consider having her do your pictures! If she can keep her cool and engage MY family, imagine what she can do with yours!
BTW-the pics and cover are for the July issue of the magazine. Check it out!
Good night~
P.S. sorry about the comments being turned off on the last post. I was finally able to get it fixed. So, go on back and let me know what you were thinking.

What awesome pictures! What a blessing to have such beautiful professional pictures of all the kids; they are priceless! I love Gabby’s purple ring; her eyes look so beautiful in that picture. Kateri, JJ, & Mariah laughing on the truck is great; I love candid pictures that show personality!

I just checked out the photos on Debbie’s site. Love the black and white of Gabi AND how on earth did you get EVERYONE of the kids, and, mom too, to take that great shot. Usually there is one that doesn’t cooperate at the moment. Have a wonderful day.
