The (rolling and laughing and jumping) Stones...

A couple of Saturdays ago saw us up at the crack of dawn (not a pretty sight in my case!) but it was oh so worth it. It was the Oliveras' shoot swap #2. This time with Shelia Stone (my friend, foodie and fellow photographer) and her family. We ran, we jumped, we laughed, we borrowed a trolley, and we rolled!
After, we headed off to refuel at Cafe Caracalla. Later, we refueled once again at Cactus Eatrip (yeah, that is of name of a cafe with lovely bagels). To see Shelia's photos of us, click HERE.
Without further ado, here are some of the morning...
E runs up and introduces her, ahem, crazy, jumping parents...

Ta da...here they are, people! Yes, they do seem a tad loco!


Dad looks on and is thinking 'yep, that's my wall jumping wife!' E, totally oblivious to what's going on behind her!

It was faced paced action all the way!

Yes, that is Dad, the trolley rider at the bottom right!...

I LOVE this one!

We had to take a break at some point. Can I say E has Mum and Dad right 'under the croc!'

Cue smoochy love song...cue bird song...

An ode to Shelia's shoes...Shelia's shooting shoes, so red they are. They drive cars, hit bars, check out spas and of course, photograph spectacularly like they are from Mars!!! (I know you might think I am actually insane at this point!...not quite but close! I used to write raps ya know!)

We ended the shoot by hijacking someone's bike, and the kids pretended to run each other over!...

It was super duper fun, Thanks so much S. It will be sad to see you leave Oki. Who are Rene and I gonna find to replace ordering everything on the menu at Cappriossos? (Totally spelt wrong!) Huh, huh? Laughs...we had a few!
Check out Shelia's site for her new wedding portfolio. Yee haw for Texas! Ride 'em cowboy!

These are so fun to look at. I saw them earlier, but I forgot to leave a comment. Silly me. What a great family they look like. Crazy, fun, energetic...love the outfits.
