Christmas Photos!

I talked (read: bribed) all the littles into doing a mini Christmas photo sesh with me the other day in hopes of having a decent enough picture for Christmas cards.  They were great troopers and I got some pretty cute pics, then ordered the cards with super speedy express service since we leave for TX and CO this week.  The cards were supposed to be here today, but turns out they have to actually give the package to FedEx, not just create the label...so they may or may not be sent by Christmas.

Here's to New Year's cards!  And here are some of the cute photos from that day.  :)

Newborn Photos!

With each of our girls the hospitals had photographers that took newborn pictures, which I was always suckered into, and my sister, Jo, was around to take some cute photos at home.  This time Jo was not there, so I was fully relying on the hospital photographer...which never showed up.  SO, as soon as we got home I got my procrastinating act together and actually found a photographer to do a photo session at home right away.  Which was fortunate because shortly thereafter our poor little guy aged approximately 80 years and lost most of his hair.

I've always wanted to do photos at home, and I absolutely love how they turned out!  Here are some of my faves.  :)

Family Photos

I finally got around to ordering our family photos and thought I would share more of my favorites.  We got over 200 back, and I earmarked almost half of those as my favorites - so while this may not seem like just a few, it really is just the favorites of the favorites.

I can't say enough good things about our photographers, Ash and James Photography.  I found them by chance online and when I saw they were sisters that work together, I knew they were right up my alley.  It helped that they happened to be the cutest, sweetest twin sisters I'd ever encountered. 

What caught my eye online was their cool, candid style.  During our photo shoot there were maybe three times they stood us together for pictures, and even then gave little direction on how or where to look.  It made the shoot so low key and stress free, and with two little girls that tend to run from the camera, and most certainly don't want to pose - it was perfect for us.  Evie cried almost the entire time while Lyla wandered off for "adventures" and somehow they still made it work - really well.

I can't wait to do it again next year!
