Tree Farm Visit: 4 people 12 times

Since May, I've been participating in a project called "4 People 12 Times," taking a family portrait at least once a month.  I missed November but have otherwise been keeping up.  When we took a family trip to the tree farm today, I made sure to ask someone to take our picture. It's not a great picture, and I'm hoping that I will be able to improve it when I start some photoshop classes next year.  In the meantime, I did take a few pictures that I did love.  Here's the kids playing together on a tree swing:

My gorgeous husband:


My strong son:
I shot everything today with my new 85 mm fixed lens.  I'm still working on how best to use it, but I like many of the shots I took, including these:
Got any favorite shots in today's post?

  2. It's great to see your family photo this month - the idea of going to gather a tree in a t-shirt is amazing to me. Love it!

  4. I love the family of four picture! Beautiful pictures and you are all gorgeous! I did notice there are no pictures of you swinging! What's up or not with that? Enjoy your day!

  9. It looks like you had a much better day at the tree farm than we did! I absolutely love the first three photos on the swings. Definitely a layout!

  12. The swing shots are too much fun! But if I had to pick just one, I'd pick the top because it has you all together. That said, I like you working away in the bottom one too... it makes me wonder what you are up to!
