If you are one of the rare souls who reads what I write on posts before jumping to the photos, I am considering changing things up a bit. It has been brought to my attention that reading is not what you want FIRST on a photo blog, so usually “some” people (who will go unnamed :) skip the reading and go right to the photos. A suggestion was made to put the wording after the photos, so I am giving it a try. What do you think? If you have a sec, drop your thoughts in the comments box. Or you may have skipped this rambling all together if you are the type mentioned above! Anyhow, on to this post!

Family of 5!!

My favorite family shot.

I love how Jackson is turned around looking at his Mom and Dad.  :)  And his sister, with her arm propped up on his head!

Jackson, Kaitlyn, Samuel  :)

Samuel’s favorite thing to do was pick grass and throw it at me. Glad I suggested it!  It kept his attention :)

Jackson checking things out….

Pretty Kaitlyn.

Elizabeth and Marc  :)

Look at that mischievous face on Jackson!!

More GRASS throwing!!!

Later Jackson playing at the playground.  I love this angle Brett got.

And this too…he kept laying on the bridge and asking me to jump on it and he would go flying UP!!

My favorite.  Elizabeth your eyes are GORGEOUS.

Brett and I have tooo much fun at the playground.  We were running around and then we saw this mirror dome thingy and the reflection was making us laugh….we were like the CAMERA QUAD trying to keep up with these two little guys!!  :)

This family consists of Mom and Dad (Elizabeth and Marc) and their 3 children, Kaitlyn (12), Jackson (4), and Samuel (3). We met up at the park for some picture time which come to find out from Mom, it has been over 6 years since they have had a family photo. 6 YEARS!!!  Needless to say, she was REALLY wanting some photographs capturing them as a family. With 2 small active boys it was a bit tricky keeping things interesting enough, but all-in-all I think we managed to capture some good images of everyone.

Thanks to you guys for your patience and endurance!  I hope the images you get will be well worth it.  :)

We have the privilege of calling this lovely family our neighbors.  Although they would think we are silly for saying it, they are just about perfect in every way.  They have 3 of the most adorable children, and really since we have lived in our home for the past 2 and a half years, they have been nothing but incredibly kind and generous.  When the dad, Matt, told us that all Angie wanted for Mother’s Day was a session with us, we were thrilled!  We hooked him up with a gift certificate, and recently we did this family session before school got going.  From skipping stones on the lake, hanging out in the field, to fishing, the whole session seemed to capture the essence of summer and I think that is exactly what Angie was wanting. Honestly, there were so many photos that I loved from this session that it made choosing difficult. I had a REALLLY hard time.

First you can meet the three kiddos.    :)

This is Nick, the middle man.

And Jake…the oldest of the pack.

And last but not least is princess Josie.  (otherwise known as “best buddy in the WORLD” to my kids.)

Here is their Mom and Dad- Angie and Matt.  I know they were slightly uncomfortable getting photos of just the two of them, (once you have kids it’s hard to be without them) but I ended up with so many favorites of these two!  It was ridiculous!!

I love this one.  :)

The brothers!!

Handsome #1, and  handsome #2.

Little beauty.  I was asking her questions about school here, and she was thinking.  :)

More of mom and Dad.  I just couldn’t help myself!

Josie was at our house the other day and Brett asked her if she would like the photo of her brother’s kissing her blown up REALLLLY big to hang over her couch.  She said “No WAY! I want the one of us rolling down the hill!”

Wowzers.  No wonder your children are adorable….You two are beautiful!!

We have a photo of our family like this in our house that we set up and took, and Angie has always loved it.  So we recreated it for her. :)

The boys decided to fish for a while….

Ok so I said, “How about you boys kiss Josie!”  She kept moving back every time they would try.  Finally Jake grabbed her, and after they kissed her, Nick is wiping off his lips.  They are so stinkin cute.  :)

One of Brett’s favorites.

Josie looks JUST like her Mama, and the boys look like their Dad.

Thanks guys! We had a great time with you, as always. See ya in the backyard. :)
