Last of the summer photo shoot!


I thought I would jump in here between my updates and post something current. It was so nice out that I thought I should take the kids to our favorite spot for one more summer (end of the summer) photo shoot. It didn't turn out to be the greatest. I was a little pushy with the kids (which I can't stand, but I had no skills with kids tonight for some reason) and in return they protested a bit. Among many bad pictures from our photo shoot, I actually ended up with a few nice ones.

I think these first two are my faves.





For some reason I love this picture of Nora. It just cracks me up!
One of my tricks here was giving them marshmallows to share. I had to have Coen feed them to Nora, which led to some cute ones. That wore off after a bit... there's even a limit to how many marshmallows a couple toddlers will eat.

And now, the gag reel, the bloopers (whatever you wanna call it. It was the end):

"Really, Mom??? You're still taking pictures?"

Hope you enjoyed. ;)

I love these pictures! I HAVE to have the one of him laying his head on his shoulder so please email it. I've tried to copy from the blog before and it doesn't do as well as an emailed one. Great posts lately. Keep it up! Gramma

Darling pictures. Your kids are so sweet. And I'm trying to recognize you setting. Not remembering it. Must be somewhere we didn't ever go.

It's at one of my favorite picture sites: the wetland pond area by the botanic gardens. I love the grasses. They add such a great delicate softness to the background. I like the toned down pallet, too. And, Carin, Coen was shoving them in his mouth. I had to remind him to feed Nora. :)

Hey Kristy I was so sure that my comment went through the other day. It must not have!!! I love these pictures of your sweet babies. I love grass/fields too. It adds such a lovely quality to pictures. Thanks for sharing your pictures with us. They are beautiful.

PS I just took pictures of Blaire while she was chewing gum...and one of my favorite shots of Hazen was when he was waiting patiently for Daddy to roast him a marshmellow. :)
