Wordless Wednesday with Linky!

by Brandy

I had such a busy weekend and I completely over did it. I’m paying for it for sure, but the weekend was well worth it.

Friday night we had our Benefit Show for Reece. This was to raise money for my friends family. Reece had a heart attack right before Christmas and then passed away a few days before New Years. It has been very hard on his family. He was very young and left behind a wife and two young children. So we arranged a benefit show to help raise money to support the family during this time. It was great! The turnout was amazing! That was Friday. I finally made it to bed at 5am. Being on my feet for hours on end was hell on my body.

All shots taken without flash, existing lighting only.

I have tons more that will be on my flickr. I don’t want to put too many here. Saturday was Roller Derby and I have a ton of great shots for that as well. I will have to make a separate post. Then Sunday I did maternity photos. Now…I can barely walk. I totally put my body through too much this weekend. Ow….

Wordless Wednesday with Linky

by Brandy

I haven’t been able to leave too much to find anything to photograph. I have tons of photos of my kids though. I take photos daily. I was really hoping for something unique and different to show you this week for my Wordless Wednesday.

Then it happened. I walked outside and seen one of the funniest things I had seen in a long time.

An Emo Chimp! Right in front of my house! I’m not even kidding. I ran in to fetch the camera so that I would have proof of this brilliant unique sight right outside the house.

As seen in front of my home…poor sad little Emo Chimp….

Just going to share some photos from a fun shoot I did the other day. I haven’t been out too much. The pain in my hips and legs has made it too difficult to get out and enjoy walking around with the camera. Hopefully I can get back in my groove next week.

Wordless Wednesday ~ Responsibility with Linky!

by Brandy

I decided that this year I would participate in Annie Manning’s Let’s Do 52! She has themes set for each week of the year and I like the challenge that it creates for me. This week the choice was Responsibility or Open. I chose Responsibility.

It’s not to late to join up! You can do this theme until Saturday and then a new theme will be posted. You can set up a free account on flickr if you do not have an account already and then join her group.

Wordless Wednesday! A Special Request!

by Brandy

My friend Reece has his second heart attack 2 days before Christmas. He has a wife and 2 young children. I have set up a facebook page and a website where I will be hosting an auction to help the family out. Reece has no insurance and is currently on life support and he needs a heart transplant. His job was the sole income of this family.

The auction will have a lot of services that are based in DFW as well as items that can be mailed. So please take a moment and fan the facebook page just in case you see something you would be interested in bidding on.

My Wordless Wednesday is dedicated to this family and the photos below are all images I have captured. Thanks!

Wordless Wednesday! With Linky!

by Brandy

There is so much going on as we get ready for Christmas! I’m sure you all have been busy too! We had rain for days and that kept us on lock down in the house. Cabin fever set in and we all went crazy. Look at Emma, she’s looking a bit rabid…

We survived though.

Another thing that has happened is the American Heritage Girls awards ceremony. Lauren and Morgan received a bunch of badges for their accomplishments. Morgan dodged the camera, I did get this photo of Lauren’s vest covered in badges that she already had. Now she has a ton more!

Hmmmm, other things done this month? I had a ton of Christmas Shoots! One of my favorite boys to photograph is Jonah. This time he brought a few of his furry friends…

Last but not least, check out Jonah’s Kung Fu!

Be sure to link up your Wordless Wednesday as well!

I wanted to share some more photos from Jones Farm. I just love the shots I was able to capture there. All are natural lighting, I don’t use lighting equipment and there is no electricity in the home. I hope you like them! I also included a few shots from the Pistons & Paint car show.

Monday was my birthday. I had saved up Amazon Gift Cards so that I could buy a new lens for my camera, I was only short $45 so that part was covered by my mom and dad as part of Christmas! Thanks Mom and Dad! I bought a Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S NIKKOR! It came Monday night and I was able to use it Tuesday for the first time!

It will definitely take some getting used to, I shoot a lot with my 300mm…so it’s a huge change! Here are a few shots of my girls that I took with it yesterday.

Morgan got an awesome new hair cut! I love it!

Lauren’s top two teeth are extremely loose! They should come out any day! Maybe today is the day? They are so loose that they stick out over her lip hahaha!

Lauren loves to climb trees, her daddy gave her this tree in our front yard. She loves her tree!
Emma was running around and slipped on a stick! Yes a stick! Don’t worry! I had already given her hugs and kisses before taking this photo. She was just telling me what happened.
Just minutes later she is back to normal…she really needs some chapstick!

Oh man, did I get some awesome photos this past weekend! I’m not even close to be done going through them yet, I do have a few to share and will most likely share a few more in another post. You can always keep up with my photography by becoming a fan of Loudmouth Photography on Facebook, as well as following me on Flickr.

So Jenny and I (along with 27 other photographers) were granted permission to visit Jones Farm. It is located at Lake Ray Roberts and is completely fenced in and not open to the public. This day they allowed all 29 of us access to the whole area of the old Jones farm. Insides, outside and all over! It was amazing! The home was built in the 1800′s and has been empty for quite awhile. There were barns full of awesome stuff!

I’m really happy with what I got that day, but like I said…I still have a bunch more to come, so be sure to like me on Facebook! Be sure to link your Wordless Wednesday up below!

After this we headed to a car show…soooo many photos!

Teenagers…they’re so weird! Recently Morgan’s best friend turned 13. So now they are teenagers together. Jenny, my bestie and also Hanna’s mama took the girls to downtown Dallas for some fun photos. The girls had a blast and so did we. Below are just a few of the shots from that day.

I have a ton more, but I’m only going to share one more today…… Be sure to like Loudmouth Photography on Facebook!

Hanna says “What’s that smell?“

Wordless Wednesday, with Linky!

by Brandy

How was your Halloween? Are you children in sugar coma’s yet? Have your husbands ransacked the candy bags? My kids keep tricking me. They know I am easily distracted. When I am concentrating on something they ask me if they can have “…just one more piece?” I unknowingly say “yea, sure“. Totally taking advantage of their sick mama!

Seriously though, they haven’t tricked me too many times…but they sure keep trying!

Wordless Wednesday! With Linky!

They are sisters, they are best friends! They get a long so well and I hope they stay this close! They do bicker at each other once in awhile, which is to be expected, but they LOVE to be together! Makes my life a whole lot easier that’s for sure!

This is from the same day that we went to the Pumpkin Patch. The photos below were taking at “Goat Man’s Bridge” or it’s proper name, Old Alton Bridge. It’s a pretty nice place to go, with a very long walking trail! Sometimes you will see some horses on the trail, this day we were following horse tracks, trying to track them down haha!

Oh and we learned something that day! Never kick a cactus! There was a group of kids hiking the trail and one of the boys kicked a cactus and it went right through his shoe and into his skin! Ouch!
