We had our portraits taken last night!

As I wrote in my previous entry, we were thrilled that John Michael Cooper (http://www.altf.com/) included us in his Pay It Forward project...which meant we had our family portrait done by him. This is momentous because...yes, its true....we have never had a family portrait taken. I think photographers must be the worst (I know that I am) about having their own photo taken.

Anyway, John really really wanted us to just dress like our "normal" selves. His theme is "roadside portraits" and we met at a corner in McKinney. So instead of getting dressed up and all "matchy", we just wore our regular clothes. Since it was about 100 degrees, this meant shorts. I have no idea of what the pics are going to look like, b/c I felt kind of dumpy in my regular clothes but I know that John will make something truly unique with them. And we were really so happy to have it be our whole family--which those who know us know that means our dogs.

Part of the project is that I am now going to do a complimentary session and print for another professional photographer. I have a couple of possibilities and am working out details. Will share more as things come together.

Here's a pic of me, Pat, Wilbur, Shanti, John, and his wonderful wife Dalisa--can't wait to see the portraits and will post as soon as I have something to share..
