Family Photo Shoot: October 29, 2011

Our friend, Mitzi Penick, is a fantastic photographer and we had the opportunity for her to work with our family several weeks ago. Mitzi has such a calming, peaceful spirit.  I have to say, it was the easiest, most relaxing photoshoot our family has ever experienced.  This was a "mini-session" so we were only there for 30 minutes (we usually shoot for an hour or longer), so the kids had a blast.  The location:  Two Rivers Park, a hidden treasure to us!  It was beyond gorgeous.  We shot right at 5:00 (just before sunset). The weather was perfect, the shoot was perfect...I was a happy Mama. 

I will post about this entire week soon, but you will see that my sitter from Texas, Gabby, is in several of our photos.  Gabby flew in from San Diego and stayed with our famiy for two weeks.  We had an amazing time with her and she is truly a part of our family, so it was special to include her in the photoshoot.  Gabby is incredible with the kids and one of the reasons the photoshoot was such a success!
