Sneak Peek! Crowbar Crew Photo Shoot

Hey guys! Crowbarmama checking in from sunny California! We had a 20-hour road trip to get here, but it was well worth it as we've spent quality time with both sets of grandparents and some dear old friends!

One particular friend also happens to be an insanely talented photographer! I don't just mean her camera and editing skills. I mean her child management skills! It might help that she is also studying child development as her major and works at a preschool, but seriously, she can make the grumpiest old man smile and get the rowdiest children to do just what she wants!

Since we haven't been to our old hometown in three years, we figured it was time for a family photo shoot. We got the grandparents together and somehow all made it to the selected venue without any tears from the kids or the adults!

We also decided to play with my @Crowbarmama logo a bit and include the @crowbarkids. The kids were almost more excited than I was! Almost...

We met at a beautiful little winery in the Central Valley. It was hot and surprisingly more humid than usual, but our awesome photographer moved us along quickly and kept everyone smiling.

It's only been a couple days since our shoot, but I was sent a little teaser as a sneak peek and wanted to share it with you guys!

We really are a friendly bunch, but we've also been learning about healthy boundaries, so I like to think this photo ties in nicely with that lesson.

As much as I'm enjoying this trip, I'm also eager to get back home and back into our old routines, which includes more posting here! I've got tons of great raw material from the trip, just begging to be edited and shared with you!

I chose @Crowbarmama as a handle because I believe in doing the best you can with what you have on hand. The crowbar is a multi-purpose tool. You’ll notice my photography is a bit rough, my grammar is not the most polished, but as a homeschooling, homesteading mama of 4, if I waited to take my photos until the light was perfect or re-edited my posts a 5th time ( I shoot for 3 drafts), I would never get a post out!

Don’t sweat the small stuff, just Crowbar it!
