My failed attempt at photography

I thought it would be a good idea to try and take some pictures of Jojo myself.  Not only was it not a great idea, it was basically a disaster.  I now realize hiring a photographer to ensure the pictures are good is much easier on Mama. 

We decided to head out to a local wildlife refuge to take our pictures.  There is a sunflower field that, if caught during bloom, is breath taking.  Unfortunately we may have waited just a day or two too long, not that I got Jo to sit still long enough to enjoy the sunflowers!  I had all sorts of fun print outs to keep Jo's attention while taking her picture, then forgot them all in the car (a lot of good that did me).  She was more interested in playing in the barn or looking anywhere BUT at me.

So....out of the 150 pictures I took (seriously...no joke), here are a few of the decent ones.  Shewww.....that child is exhausting. 

Our little stinker!  Exhausting as she may be, we love her to the moon and back!


This is pretty much it for pictures of Jo and sunflowers....ha!
 



My last attempt to get her picture....in the parking lot!
 

 
This is a look at the area we were in and the sunflower field that we missed by just a day or two!
 
 
The picture below is my absolute favorite!
