If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, you may remember the stenciled wall I did as a contestant on Creating With the Stars. That contest did a lot to stretch me in good ways, and I was excited when Monica reached out about doing a little question and answer session. Head on over to her blog to learn a bit more about my summer essentials and some upcoming projects.
This last weekend we spent some time with family down in the Ozarks. Big Cedar is a first class resort that’s perfect for families of all ages and sizes. There’s so much for kids to do: pools, cooking classes, fishing, scavenger hunts, oh and s’mores…who can forget the campfire s’mores? I didn’t take a ton of action shots because I was trying to just enjoy, but here’s a look at some of the grounds and some time we spent on the lake.

Gwen, I love your blog! Would you please tell me what camera you use to get such great pictures all the time? Thanks so much!

Thank you! Of course, I shoot with a Canon mark ii and mainly a tamron 2.8 28-75 lens, but I recommend the canon rebel to begin with. Thanks for reading!

This looks so gorgeous, Gwen!
PM says
Thank you, Gwen. I will check out the Canon Rebel. Were these vacation pictures taken with the Canon Mark ii? Thanks again!

Yes, these were the Mark ii, but if you go back a few posts to the pictures of England, my sister shot those on her rebel with the tamron lens. Hope that helps!

I don't want to repeat all that Ipek said and I couldn't agree more with her, so keep up with the good work!

You have a wonderful family, Gwen! Your kids are real angels. Also, I got one question concerning this amazing place – are those falls nature made or are they artificial?
