the photos look great as always!

oh moving Lightroom folders. I find this task to be most zen and a huge pain.

[Valerie@Chateaualamode.typepad.com]

Your photos look amazing!

[happygirl]

I don't even know what moving folders from Lightroom to external drive means. I know what an external drive is, but I don't know what Lightroom is. It must be a photographer thing. I hope I'm not THAT "not with it." :)

[Jodi @ The Un-Soccermom Blog]

Sorry was my favorite game to play w/ my Grandma. Gosh I miss her! There's nothing better than a wild game of Sorry! ;o)

[Terrie G]

I think your pics look great!
I'm thinking of getting Lightroom...haven't researched it yet.
Do you have to have photoshop 1st?
I've moved over 10,000 pics last week to make room for all the new grandbaby pics!!

[Tricia]

I love Lawrence and it has been far too long since I've been there! I think that your pictures look amazing and I'm sure that your clients will love them. Have a great week!

I love the picture of the family with boots! That little girl is precious! Your work always amazes me! Wishing I had the gift you have!

Love the pictures, particularly the one with the boots and the little girl - it made me smile the second I viewed it.

LOVE the last pic. I just think it focuses on a member of the family that often can get overlooked when life goes on. So cute!

Typepad is doing the same to my photos. Your photos are always beautiful though! Hope they fix it soon!

[Molly]

Love this! I really want to get in on one of your Lawrence shoots sometime!

[Amy]

When you are traveling to Lawrence or Overland Park next, PLEASE let me know....

I am that weird girl. A couple of years ago. I emailed you after you were at Deanna Rose in OP, Kansas. I was too afraid to say something to you, but I knew you right away. I wish now that I had said something, I am still kicking myself.

You take the best photos.

;-) amy

I love Sorry! I should point out that after your vacation post this summer, I picked up Sequence and Farkle. My husband and I (along with our Friends) are hooked on both games!
We even took Farkle on our recent cruise and played for hours.

I met your girls and your mom at the Handmade Market in Lawrence this weekend! I was the crazy etsy vendor who told your girls I recognized them from their mom's blog. Hope I didn't creep them out too much! Would have loved to meet you too!

[Wendy]

[Kristen]

It was such a joy to meet you and have you take our family photos! We appreciate your patience with our girls and cannot wait to see the other photos from that beautiful day in Lawrence! Thanks so much! BTW - I absolutely adore the pic of all 3 of my loves!

[Tiffany]

the last picture grabbed me, the boots, the knees, the skirts, the tennis shoes, the lollipop! Well done Mama Duerksen. I haven't heard about the game Sorry in ages, I might have to score one of those this holiday season.

[Michelle]

My mom's family is from Lawrence. One of these days I WILL take my whole family to Kansas and show my kids where great-grandma and grandpa came from!
