We Are Family

After over 2 years, we finally decided to have our family pics taken once again. Brian has a good high school friend who is an amazing photographer, so we had him do them for us. I like that his stuff is more artistic and real and not so "posed." The pic at the top of this blog and the pics down the sides are posed, only because I asked him to do a few like that, just to hang on the wall and stuff, but I really like the candid stuff the very best!

Honestly, I know I have crazy, energetic, and sometimes naughty kids, so why not show the world who we really are. We are definitely NOT the family walking down the railroad, holding hands. Not that there's anything wrong with pics like that (although I did ask our photographer not to take that pic, simply because I don't really want a photo of my backside). Anyway, the lovey dovey family photos are great, but I just wanted something much more real; something that captures who we really are. So, here are some of my faves:

I love your photos Nat. I should talk to your friend. We really need to have family pics done. Poor little Bryson is 6 1/2 months old and I still haven't had any taken. -He's going to think we adopted him. ;)
