Family Pictures 2012

I never plan things very well. The year was coming to an end and we hadn't had our family pictures done yet. One of my babysitter's really enjoys photography and she often uses her mother's camera then posts pictures on instagram. I nonchalantly asked if she'd like to come and snap a few hundred pictures (I thought, the more she took the more likely we'll have one or two good ones) one evening for practice. She enthusiastically agreed and refused payment. It turned out so good. we took most of the pictures in my backyard and then we went just a few blocks away to a little retention lake area. I uploaded the pictures that night to my computer. It was awesome. Here's a few handfuls of my favorites.
