Fabulous Family Photo Shoot 2012

So many to choose from!!  I LOVED so many of them!  Taking pictures of a family of 7 is no easy task, but I have an amazing friend who is so good to me.  I asked if she would take our pictures, and she did.  She never passes up a chance to serve someone, which is something I love about her.  I made her dinner that night, but I am thinking that wasn't quite enough of  "payment".....she did an amazing job despite her worries that she is just a "novice".  She did a beautiful job capturing our family in the heat of an August summer evening!

Ah, my Sethy.  Not a fan of pictures.  At all!  He is such a stud; posing for the camera is silly to him.  But, I love this picture of him and want to kiss his cheeks and run my fingers through is totally blond hair.

My sweet Sasha.  She was a good subject.....

Addie had the same cute smile in every shot.  Love this little girl so much!

Audrey Anne is one tough cookie to take a picture of.  We got lots of cute shots of her and I am so happy.  (For the record I did have her hair done but she ripped it out on the way there.  She also was beyond mad at me for putting her in this dress.  Screaming and tears like you wouldn't believe!  Oh, and her shoes that are tooooo big were on the wrong feet the whole time.)

Yep, I know, I know.  To die for!  LOVE all the ones of this little boy.  He just sat there and smiled away.

My friend had a genius idea to do this one.  I brought my globe and other props and she brought the chalkboard with this darling saying.  LOVE this one so much!

I always pick apart pictures of myself....but I want them done because my kids will want to see ME and their DADDY in pictures as time goes by.  They won't care what size I am or if I look runway-ready.  They will want to see that Will and love eachother and that I am smiling because I LOVE THEM!

Such a handsome guy.  I tell him everyday that I am glad I married him.  I truly am.

I do like this one of me!  She knew how to take it at the right angle to flatter my face!  We have had many discussions about how to hide double chins in pictures.  LOL!!

Anyways, I love the pictures.  I LOVE my family!  I LOVE my life! Thanks, friend of mine for capturing our joy!!
