As far as I’m concerned, no one reads my blog except for my mom. And Jill. And Halley. When anyone else says “Oh, I saw your latest photos on your blog, that looked like a lot of fun!!” I think “No way, you’re lying. No one reads that except for my mom.” Google Analytics says I had 854 visits this past month, but I think they just want me to think I’m popular, when really, it’s just my mom checking in 25 times a day.
So I should have known that she’d be checking my blog, waiting for me to post these photos. “Laura, I keep looking on your blog for new photos and there’s STILL nothing!” Mom. Work on your subtlety. Please.
I should tell you that my mom has lost some weight (yay for healthy diets that work!!). And she’s wearing my jeans for these photos.
That’s right.
MY JEANS!!!
Apparently my parents can’t take good-looking photos seriously. Allow me to provide the commentary for the next few photos:
Dad: Can you tell that I’m driving? Are my hands okay?
Me: Yes, dad. It looks like you’re driving straight into a row of trees without looking. Just smile at mom.
Mom: Can you tell if the car is running?
Me: No one is going to look at the dash, I promise. Just smile at dad.
Me: Okay, now lean in for a kiss.
Dad: Oh, should I have given her a little tongue for that one?
Me: seriously. grossed. out.
Their hot ride:
Mom’s skinny legs!!!
What a great idea!! Great photos too!! i’m sure they will love having them
esss-cuse me!! you can add “and Ashley” to that list too ;) Pretty sure I used to be like your mom and check your blog like 10 times a day UNTIL I learned about the beauty of Google Reader! :)
Me Too!! I love looking at your photos. The photos of your parents are wonderful! I even look at people I don’t know.
First off, your parents are cute.
Second, your mom looks AMAZING. Please tell her I said that.. Wait, she’ll see it when she checks this.
Third, please tell me the secret to fitting into Laura’s pants.
Fourth, I also read your blog. :)
I look at your blog- I love the stories and I absolutely love your pictures!! Keep up the amazing, inspiring work!!
I think there is a little to much kissing going on here. Is that REALLY Walter and Donna? So CUTE…. love the pictures.
Awww, you guys rock!! I had no idea you all read this!! :-)
Rachel- I saw the idea from another photographer, it must be a photographer thing to want good pictures of their family! ;-)
Ashley- sorry. I’m not sure if Google Reader picks up on my analytics. There should probably be an extra hundred or so on there from you, right?
Dot- You’re too cute. I miss you. How are you?
Renae- Isn’t she a hottie?! I keep telling her that. Before I left home I brought down a whole bunch of my jeans from my room that I don’t wear anymore for her to have.
Emily- You’re sweet. I try to make my stories interesting enough for people to read, but not too long to bore anyone. I’m glad you enjoy them!
Paula- You’re right, this was the most I’ve ever seen them kiss. And I made them do it. :-)
Hey now! Who was it that stressed to me how she did not care for all the PDA as she was growing up?? I figured it must be ok now if you asked for it and all I could do was oblige and of course you never have to ask your dad twice. We both enjoyed the shoot and will treasure the pics.
The pictures are beautiful, your mother looks awesome. My favorite is the sunset.
All families should have a set of pictures like Donna and Walters’. They look like a couple of teenagers. Very lovely settings and enjoyable to view. Thanks for the opportunity to see them.
