Love Hate and a few Photos from the Shoot

J and Apple are typical siblings.  One day they Love each other the next day they don’t.  This photo is from one of those times that they were feeling’ the Love.  Sunday morning, after cleaning the living room the two of them threw the pillows off the couch and were rolling and bouncing everywhere.

As much as I would love to be like my Mother and not let kids play in the living room, I also don’t want to be like my Mother let them.  My childish side keeps winning out and allowing them to play in the living room.  At least they don’t play hockey in there anymore.

The two of them were laughing and giggling and getting static hair.  I just had to get some photos of them.  They are getting used to me sneaking in with a camera and this day was not an exception.  Now, if only Apple would just sit still so I could get a portrait of her for her Grandparents.

And now for a small sampling from the photo shoot.  These are the straight out of the camera shots, no retouching yet.  I have started editing and it will take me a bit of time, but I am having fun with it so it is all good.

And just to be clear, this is my Sister.  She is not, nor is she planning to get married just yet.  She is wearing my old (ten year old) wedding dress and shoes that I never got to wear (something about making me 6 feet 2 inches tall that Hubby wasn’t too about).  The shoot took place at my Mom’s house, which in itself should be a spread in a magazine, she apologized for the mess.  I kept looking for it, but assumed she meant that she forgot to close her closet door.  I am so thankful my Sister is so photogenic.

    Those are great pics!

    I have to say, Hola is still too young to bully back his older brother, so trying times are still ahead of me. Now, of course, Hola is on way on the move and already a threat to Rt and his toys, so there have been times where I want to pull my hair out, or just leave, but most of my attention falls to Rt and not being so aggressive. He loves his little brother so much, he just doesn’t know when enough is too much for him. I feel bad for getting on him ALL THE TIME, but what else can I do!

    What a fun photo shoot! The pictures look so great together!
