I'M READY FOR MY CLOSE-UP, MR. DEMILLE.

I'm ready for my close-up...and close-up we got.

Oh my goodness, it was 40 degrees at 7:30 in the morning.  Daughter Emilie had decided that V and D needed professional photographs of them, me, and grandkids.  And guess what, they just happened to know a professional photographer, Erica Nix.  Erica is also V and D's trainer while they are in Austin.  They met Erica the first time they came with me to Austin way back in 2012.  She has remained a great friend, so she was the one.

 

We were not the easiest group to capture.  Vincent and Maddie had spent the night in me and were up at 5:00, so 7:30 was no problem.  The 40 degrees was a tiny bit chilly.  Our goose bumps were popping out all over.  Erica says that 7:30 has the best lighting...so naturally we wanted the best lighting...so us old folks didn't complain.  Now, it was another story with Vincent and Maddie.  They were just plain cold and could not understand why we were parading around outside.

 

Enjoy the photo-shoot...I am always amazed.

I am just so darn photogenic.

Not a wrinkle or a sag.

Those Airstream genes are the best.!!!!

The rest of the group looked pretty good, too.

Eric was a miracle worker.  Those kids did not always want to cooperate,

but we just kept moving forward.

 

V and D cleaned up real nice.  They had bought some new duds

and were feeling sassy.

 

 

Emilie decided to pop over...so glad she did.

Priceless

I love this one.  V and D are poising so pretty.

Vincent is trying to get Maddie to cooperate.

Is this a hoot, or what?

Somebody has a mind of her own.!

Just had to put this one in. 

Emilie is definitely saying some choice words under her breathe.

Vannie is scratching her head, wondering what to do.

Vincent is COLD.  Maddie is counting rocks.

T-Pop and I are trying to stay in character.

Peep-Eye

Get a Room, please.!

Get that hand up, Vannie.

Is this an audition for "Dancing With the Stars?"

The infamous, Erica Nix.

Love this Girl.!

Thanks, Erica...You are the best.

 

Message Vannie if you are in the Austin area for Erica's information.

You'll be happy you did.
