Do you have a hobby?

Every day, real life is most of the time....busy. I wanted to post some things that I enjoying doing. Often, I don't have the time to do these things. Sure, I take hundreds of pictures of my kiddos. But, I also enjoying taking pictures outside of my home. A few weeks ago, Joanna & I spent 12 hours...12 hours, taking pictures. Nate & the kids went up to my in-laws for a birthday party & Sunday is the only day she doesn't work. We decided to make a day of doing what we want.

She came over around 10 am & I did her makeup. I am working on building a portfolio for all of the makeup I do. Since I also love taking pictures, I did that as well. And since she is a confidant, beautiful girl who knows how to strike a pose, she was my model.

We took my mom & Duane's convertible & cruised down the open highway (I wanted it to sound cool) for our locations....the Country. That isn't too hard to find around here.






I love being recognized as a mama who was blessed to have triplets, but it is also nice to be recognized for other things. I posted some of our pictures on the Makeup Artist Forum that I frequent. These ladies are amazing artists! Most of them are very well established in the industry or are working, like me, towards that goal. Here is a comment that made my day...as well as Joanna's.
"OK..so she was NOT a model!! oh my goodness..she issooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo pretty!! and your photography is very very good..do it girl...you NEED multiple streams of income these days. I am proud ofyou..."
So, what are some of your hobbies? Outside of being the best da&@ mama out there? :)

Shannon - those are awesome! I love them all, but my favorite is the first one. It is amazing! You are really good and it doesn't look like this is a hobby. It looks like it is your profession.

Deb! Thanks so much! The first one is my favorite, too! I told her that as soon as I took it. I took six hundred & some pictures! Crazy. But it was really fun. If I would learn more about lighting, lenses, etc., I would definitely feel more comfortable. I should ask you for advice, because your pictures are awesome as well!
