:.Family Photos 2016.:

We tried to take our 2016 family photos this year all the way back in May while were in Utah for a week. But little miss Averi was not having it. She didn't feel good and cried almost the whole time. She wanted nothing to do with pictures. I was so bummed because Becky over at Lemontine Photography is one of the best photographers I know. I would love to be even half as good as her someday. 

I decided that I would just have to take our own family photos this year. With a little help from my brother Derek, we got the job done. I got the camera and all the settings ready. All Derek had to do was point and shoot...with me adjusting the aperture every so often.

Again Averi was not interested in taking pictures! She wanted to go explore the new area we were in. We were racing against the clock because a huge storm was brewing and heading our way. Even with Averi being crazy I LOVED THE WAY THEY TURNED OUT!! Some of them are a little darker than I would like, but considering how fast the storm was coming in and the natural lighting was changing they turned out great. I LOVE them!!

If anybody wants *free* family photos, couple photos, senior photos etc. I would LOVE to practice on your family. Email me at {jessicalaueflint8@gmail.com}

I don't edit yet cause I am just playing around with natural lighting at this point.

B-Town Trip Summer 2016

Averi and I decided to take a trip home while Steve flew out to Minnesota to help David and Jazmyn move into their new home. 

For the most part Averi is a wonderful traveler. She entertains herself in the carseat most of the way. 

The first time we went to B-town Averi was only 4 months old. She was so excited when we got to grandma and grandpas house. There were so many new things and she went exploring right away. 

Her favorite thing to do at grandma and grandpas house was ride the lawn mower. She would wake up in the morning and go straight to the front door and point at the lawn mower. 

Averi loved playing on the swing set, jumping on the trampoline, dirt and playing in the big yard. But I only have videos of the other activities we did. :( She saw deer, big toads, geese, cats, dogs and wild turkeys. She would follow grandpa everywhere he went.

She loved eating a McDonalds Happy Meal for the first time. 

My little Johnny and Elizabeth came over all the time too.
