My poor neglected blog.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve been busy. Busy with holiday preparations. Busy with every day life. Busy with being busy.
I’m so busy sometimes that I prioritize the most important stuff. Groceries make it into the house, but for the moment, I’ll just put away the stuff that needs to be refrigerated. The other stuff can wait. Laundry can get washed and put into the drier. And then it can sit there for a while. Perhaps several days. And who needs to brush their teeth?
Kidding. Everyone should brush their teeth. Let’s not get crazy now.
So, anyway. time is slipping away from me, and I figgered it was time for a blog post. I thought I’d share one of my most recent shoots with my muses. I have been wanting to do a session with their drum set for a while and insanely decided that what better day to do a shoot than on the day after Thanksgiving? We would be at my brother’s, so heck, why not cart the drum set in the car? And pack all the possible clothing options too? And gee, it just so happened to be BITTER COLD that morning, but hey, we’ll just layer the bajeezus out of them. They’ll be fine!
Why yes, she IS wearing her pajamas under her outfit. hee hee….
So, here we go….
The dude was INTO it. Rock it, little man!
This one reminds me of American Gothic. Tee hee heeeeeee…..
He just makes me laugh. Dang it all.
The band takes a minute for some press shots. Thanks kids. 😉
Sometimes rock stars just need a minute by themselves to collect their thoughts.
But, then it’s right back to doin’ it for the fans.
Some shots with their manager.
A little down time with the manager.
Something about this one, just makes me pause.
And this one just makes me smile.
And since I realize I am sadly missing from all these shots, a little Christmas self portrait just for you:

O.M.G. I am in love with all of these, Laura! I feel like I say it all the time, but your kids are the cutest. EVER! The shots with the ‘manager’ are so darn cute, and I absolutely adore the drum concept and styling. Thanks for sharing!
