Our First Workman Family Photo Shoot

Today we took pictures with Lori Brian Photography for our 2009 Christmas cards.  We wanted a fall look but the giniko trees in the garden district that we wanted as our background have not changed colors yet.  Instead we made our way to the bayou for pictures.  Stephen and I wore black shirts and jeans, a casual yet sophistocated look.  Sydnee and Scout got baths the night before just for the occasion, they are included in family pictures, of course.  Black might not have been the right choice, having two white shedding dogs, but we went prepared with a lent roller.  Stephen, along with a fresh brushed Syd and Scout, met Lori and me down the bayou and the pictures began.  It was a georgoues day for pictures.  We thought it might be best to get some shots of just me and Stephen before we let the hounds loose.  Good Plan!  Stephen and I enjoy taking pictures with Lori, she is so much fun and really has a great eye for what we want.  Cypress trees, old wooden fences and swings, the bayou, green grass, and even goats were our background.  The time came for pictures with the dogs and boy were they excited to be somewhere new.  After smelling around and investigating the scenery they were ready for pictures.  Lori is great at photographing children, we saw that with my nieces and nephew, but she is a whiz with the dogs too.  She got them to look at just the right times.  Thank you Lori!  We can't wait to see the pictures.
