Upholding Our Family Tradition

Ever since my family moved to Waco, TX from Michigan it became a family tradition to take photos in the bluebonnets. I always HATED it. I would make fun of my mom, try to get out of it, and then pout and roll my eyes and talk about how stupid it was.

My mom would then send these photos to our relatives, so all of my extended knew about the famous "bluebonnet photos" every year.

Well- now I am a mom and a photographer and what did I find myself doing this spring? Dragging my child and my niece out to a field in Waco to take photos in the bluebonnets (something I SWORE I would never do).

It was actually a lot of fun and my niece Jasmyn is so full of personality and extreme goofiness, that she was a great model and endured several outfit changes. I even got some photos of my brother who hates having his photo taken.

The light was very harsh, but when the sun started to set we were able to catch that gorgeous sweet light.
