I know it's already two and a half months into 2012, but I'm still excited that I finally get to cross off one of my 2011 Goals. If you're not familiar with my "11 Goals for 2011" you can still see them on the My Goals page, because I haven't made 2012 goals yet... story of my life! :) Maybe my 2012 goal should be to update my goals and actually put something on my About Me page (been blank for a year!) Anyway, thanks to the amazing photographic talents of Ruben Tinajero, former student, I can now say that Goal #9 - Update the family photographs in my living room - is now complete. I wanted the whole experience of having someone else take my family photos this time--no remotes or self timers and no editing on my part. I wanted to see someone else's vision. I chose Ruben, because I knew that he had experience with shooting portraits and would be a confident director of our shoot. I also really admire his photography and editing skills. Thankfully he said he'd do it! Since we had recently moved to Hesperia I wanted a "high desert feel" to the photographs, and scoped out some great locations off of Santa Fe Road near Hwy 138. Unfortunately it was really really really cold the day we met up for the shoot. Not sure if we're hiding it well in the photos, but we were freezing! I wanted kind of natural looking interaction photographs with at least one good photo of the four of us. So, we just kind of horsed around and let the boys wander a bit while Ruben followed us around and captured images. When he dropped off our CD of edited photographs Dustin and I were beyond excited. The pictures were everything we were looking for and more! And, the more we looked at the pictures the more we loved them! We used to have three frames with family photos above our couch, but couldn't decide on just three favorites from this shoot, so we ended up adding three more frames to our wall!
