Pimp

It might seem weird to pimp someone else's photo skills on your photo business blog--but I just love these so much. AND lets be real--I am not much of a businesswoman. I'm posting more images by the lovely and talented Michelle Sidles.

The reason I love these so much is that I didn't plan our outfits--I didn't get anyone's hair cut--in fact my gray is in full force and my eyebrows needed a good waxing, but you can't tell because my hair was so long. My kids just got jackets because it was cold. I just put on what we had with us. So I wasn't concerned about what we looked like--and that was refreshing.

Check out this first one. It's like our version of where's waldo.

A public love letter

Dear Michelle Sidles,

I have been going through the images and I LOVE THEM!  This one in particular.  And it's going on my bedroom wall--square and big.  I'm excited because we don't have any pictures of us that someone else has taken.  You shot exactly how I thought you would--candid with lovely light.  I love that my hair is wisping across my face, and that my bangs are too long and covering my eye, and that Hyrum is looking down while I am not, and the horizon and the open field, and that it's in black and white (I added a little cinnamon) and I love the laugh lines by my eyes.  I love the shots of my kids--the laughing, the wide open mouths, the little bit of bend (you know what I'm talking about).  Seriously--thanks so much.  It's official--I will now love you forever.

xoxo Jill

A worthy Spot

I got this link from one of my friends on Twitter. It is FASCINATING, and worth a look through. I could spend hours here.
