Our Family Picture Day!

First, I must say that last night as we left my parents house it was the worst storm I have seen in a very long time. It was not just raining, it was sleeting:) It was so nasty, I thought for sure our pictures today were going to have to get postponed.

I woke up this morning and first thing I did was look out my bedroom window and what did I see... PUDDLES of water! Dang it! I was so bummed. I text the photographer (who lives in Toole) and asked her what she thought we should do. She said lets give it a few hours for the sun to come up and see if it drys up the puddles and gets warmer out. So we did just that. We got ready and at about 11am, Amanda text me and said the sun was out and the puddles in Layton were gone (since we were doing them at Layton Park). So we planned on meeting at 12:30 at my moms to first, take Jaxons pictures alone inside!

We started taking pictures of Jaxon right at about 12:30 and she took some dang cute pictures. She had all kinds of different cute baskets, buckets, backgrounds and things for the ground. He looked so cute, I can't wait to see them!

When we were done with Jaxons pictures, we all went to the Layton Park to get family pictures. We got there at about 1:30 and she just started placing us in trees and on bridges and in the grass. It was so much fun. The boys loved climbing the trees and of course giving her the silliest smiles they could! She took lots of our whole family, lots of the boys together and lots of Seth and I alone, and some of me with the boys and then some with Seth and the boys. At the end she took pictures of Carsen and Memphis tackling Seth for the football, and then them tackling eachother! It was seriously so dang cute! I can't wait to see them all finished.

Her husband was with her and he was helping her hold up some big round disk things I guess to add more light and make us "glow" or something and sometimes it would make bright lights go in Memphis' eyes and he was so cute when it would get in his eyes. He was so goofy! She brought big golf balls and other props for their individual pictures, it was so cute. Memphis just loved the big golf balls and thought it would be fun to throw one... OOPS! It broke! So, if anyone knows where you purchase those kinds of photography props such as giant golf balls.. Please let me know so I can buy her another one! She wouldn't tell me where b/c she didn't want me to replace it, but I need to. It was a true accident, he didn't know it would break... but still.

She took literally hundreds of pictures! I got to see some of them on her camera screen, and they were awesome! She is going to be putting our photos in her portfolio on her website when she gets done editing them! She really did a great job! Her and her husband both!

So if anyone needs pictures taken, she did an awesome job! She was truely amazing and the best part is that we all had fun doing them! Her husband was great playing with the boys while Seth and I got ours taken alone.. the kids absoluetly loved them both!

I'll be posting our photos as soon as I get them back!
