Pointed, Aimed and Fired Away

As we were getting into the car Saturday night after picking up my camera from the repair shop, Brandon noticed a business card he had picked up earlier that day while taking the boys to a gun shop.

He looked over at me and asked,

"What would need to occur for you to want your own gun and learn to shoot?"

Without missing a beat, I smiled and said,

"Oh... I already shoot, baby!"

Then I did what any photographer would do.

I pointed, aimed, and fired away.

My favorite targets just happened to be the ones sitting right in front of me—my kids.

I even shoot moving targets, and I'd say my aim is pretty accurate. Capturing genuine smiles, silly expressions, and fleeting moments takes a lot of practice!

That's about as close as I'm ever going to get to a firing device.

Give me a camera over anything else any day. The shots I love most don't make noise—they preserve memories.

And these little faces? They're my favorite subjects, every single time.

JUST ME AND THE GIRLS

The boys (Wes and Dawson) are off to scout camp.  Mr. B.T.C and Nathan just left on a hunting trip to Utah.  That leaves me and the girls home alone.  Get ready to shop until you drop girls! This is gonna be a fun week! Late night movies, pizza, chocolate cake and popcorn.  Afternoon and late night swimming.  Shopping bags galore. New shades of lipstick.  Yep, that pretty much sums up the week.  Now hide the Nordi bags girls Mr. B.T.C is coming home:)

CALI TRIP

Craig Family Vacation Fall 2014 from Lorri Craig on Vimeo . The kids wanted to head to Cali over Fall Break. I had a few other ideas in mind, but the boys had their hearts set on taking their dirt bikes along and trying out some of the tracks in Southern California.  It turned out to be a good idea because they seriously had the time of their lives. Like Father, Like Son... There is nothing like family trips! We bond, laugh and create memories.  We sure did miss our oldest son Nathan.  He put it best when in a recent letter when he said,  "Well right about now you are probably on vacation. It's a bummer we're not all together, but that's alright! I'm over here bringing souls unto Christ, so I win!"   You can read more about his adventures HERE .
