We're starting our second month of Just Us Times 12. Missed the first month? Here's a review.

A couple of weeks ago we traveled to beautiful Key West, Florida, for a fun family vacation. 

I tried my best to get a decent family shot. I precariously placed my camera on a chair, hoping it wouldn't fall off.

Of course my family was forced happily visited the southernmost point in the continental United States. 

Not the best shot (and way too posed for me!) but I had to (cautiously) pass my camera off to the next person in line after us to grab a quick pic of the three of us. I say it was somewhat successful! (And no, I'm not taller than my Sweetie, I just happened to be standing on a curb.)

Please be sure to visit Suzanne O'Brien, Bay Area, California photographer to see her version of Just Us February picture.

I've joined forces with another FABULOUS group of photographers.

The project is called Just Us Times 12. 

What does it mean? It means that I finally get to document my family 12 times throughout the year (once a month) and instead of being behind the camera I get to actually be in front of it. (Not quite sure how I feel about that but I'm forcing myself to put my insecurities aside.) However, more importantly, it means that I get to have fun pictures of us! Sometimes Sweetie may be working and not be able to be in the pictures but sometimes he WILL be in them (like it or not!!). 

I almost decided that I was too busy to start another project but I knew if I didn't start in January than I probably wouldn't start at all. So, at the last hour, right before sunset, I pulled out my camera, tripod, remote, grabbed my daughter and my iphone for some music and headed outside. I wanted a fun picture of us and since my daughter loooooves dancing I knew that would be easy for us. So, here is our first "family" shot, minus one, of us dancing to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!! (you do what you gotta do, right?!)

You'll also get to see some other fabulous and fun families. Follow the circle and head on over to Eileen Gomez - Orange County California photographer's Just Us.
