I'm still coming down from a crazy good week last week spending time with my family...but I guess the celebrations had to end and life caught up with me yesterday and forced me into bed,but not without my computer and not without these photograph's to edit.I've gotten into a strange habit of catching myself full-face smiling at some of the images I edit...my son will come in when I'm editing and ask what I'm grinning about and I don't even realize that I am!it just makes me really happy when I capture a happy emotion that I can't help but smile back andhear in my head the echo of the photograph's laugh! :)and these photo's I'm talking about today definitely make me happy!my oldest niece is graduating this year...talk about nostalgic!I can still remember the smell of her little headas she sat on my lap when she was one "learning" piano from me...*sniff*but I LOVE the woman she's grown-up to be...she's sarcastic, witty andthinks more creatively about things than most I know.the second oldest niece is someone I can't help but smile big at.for one, she has the best full-face smile of anyone I know...those dimples cement the smiling award.but she's so funny, has some of the best one-liners around and people can't help but be happy around her!my oldest nephew gets the goofy-funny award...telling him to be serious is like telling a pixie-sticked toddler to sit-still...he just can't.and again, he makes me smile and laugh out loud because of it! :)the baby of the family is all boy...he thrives on being the quiet instigator of cute trouble andcan put professional grown male models to shame with his "smolder"...love this boy.yup, I'm smiling for real on my face right now, and I just don't care.I love these people and I'm so happy to get to photograph them every year!
