boys and family pictures

Sometimes family pictures are just too much when you are a) a boy and b) surrounded by mud and sticks and rocks.
 Too much.
Our friend, Aimee, took our family pictures this year and she worked her magic. When we finished the shoot, I was certain there wouldn't be one decent shot. 3 boys (I won't name names) WOULD NOT behave/resist the mud/smile/look at the camera. And yet, somehow we ended up with lots of great images; ones I couldn't have imagined from my vantage point. I don't know how she did it, but I am most grateful. We are trading the photo shoot for a quilt. I can't wait to get started.

The boys are cute and the girls are smoking. Can I borrow clothes from Molly's wardrobe?

The bright colors against the green is great! The girls look like fashion models and the boys are plum full of personality. I love the photos! Can't wait to see more.

Aimee did a terrific job! Of course having beautiful subjects always makes pictures look great. :)

Love the candid shots...they're always better anyway.
