This is what Halloween at the Sullivan house look like...

I have teamed up with a local group of Photographers that are as crazy about their job as I am.  The only problem is, we rarely get to give you all a look at our own personal lives, which is why most of us began this love of photography in the first place...So to change that, together, we are embarking on a 12 month photography project.  Each month we will try and take personal images and blog on them. The theme will be “What ___ looks like.” Each month we will each choose to fill in the blank with our word of choice. Some of us may choose to use the same word all year and some may choose to change it up each month. We will each link to the next photographer until our circle of is complete.  Please check out each and every photographer's Blog. You will see many different styles and visions, but you will see the same passion and talent on every page. :) 
We hope this project inspires you to take more pictures of your own families! Make sure to read through to the end and then visit the link to Kim Nehrt's blog! 

For obvious reasons, I've chosen to blog about Halloween this month. Oh, my family reallllly loves Halloween!! We have done a themed family costume for the last 11 years. It is getting harder every year, we have added more children to our group, and they keep getting older, therefore, not everything is 'cool'.  Some want Princesses, some want gore, and others want funny.  We usually pick several theme ides and vote on which one we want. This year, 'Carlinville Athletes' was the winner. I also included a few "lesser quality" photographs from our past years' themes.  Enjoy! :)

This month, I'd like to spotlight Lauren. She is my step-daughter (I don't do the word "Step" in my house ever, though)  I've know this beauty since she was 3 months old, and she sure has turned into an amazing young adult. Not only does her beauty shine through her, but she is THE TOUGHEST girl I have ever met!!!  She can sack a quarter back, make a touch down, make a three point basket, serve a mean volleyball, shoot her own Bow, throw at state level in Shot Put, make straight A's, and snuggle up her little brother and sister all while eating her dad and me out of house and home! :) She is seriously one of the biggest joys in my life. I can't wait to see where her life takes her. 

Before her first game this year...
