Family pictures

Back on Owen's birthday we spent the morning have family pictures taken.  We hadn't really done any since the boys were little and those were just done by a friend.  I was nervous about spending a lot of money up front and then not getting any good shots, or the boys not cooperating or what have you.  Then I came across a Conejo Valley Deal for a local photographer that a few friends have used so I figured we try and if we got nothing we were only out 50 bucks.  

That morning we got all showered and dressed and headed over to a local park.  Jennings met us there and I knew right away that she was going to be great.  She has two kids of her own (one of them a four year old boy....so she gets us!) and just knew how to have fun with kiddos.

A couple weeks later I went to her house to see what we got.  She warned me over the phone to be prepared to cry because they were so cute.  I was thinking "yeah sure".  Sure enough she started a little slide show set to the perfect little soundtrack and I was done.  Totally tearing up when I saw such amazing shots of my growing up boys.

I ended up getting a great package of prints and I can't wait to pick them up.   She gave me all the thumbnails and permission to post them where I liked....so here they are.   The shot above I like but felt that with Owen looking down that he wasn't really participating in the picture so I didn't buy any of that one.

Then this one:

I just die over these boys' relationship.

This family picture I got a big one of for over our bed or our couch (the possibilities are virtually endless because almost all of our walls are still blank.)

Another favorite of the boys:

These two shots of the boys individually just kill me.  Scott looks so grown up and so charming.  Hands in his pockets....I can't.

And this sweet face.  Such a perfect shot of my little O.

I cannot wait to pick up my order and see them all printed.  I am so happy we did this and so thankful to Jennings for such a wonderful experience.
