I've been thinking, lately, about those crazy prompts the teachers used to give us in school for essays. I don't think they do this any more in public schools (the kids generally not being required to read or write anymore). They were always pretty spectacular prompts and being a typical teen I didn't ever appreciate how they encouraged writing without telling you where to go. Maybe this is why i freeze when it comes to writing blog posts.
All that aside, we've been slamming out tons of Christmas portraits and Christmas cards, which has kept us from taking the time to really post here on the blog.
We just wanted to share with you how blessed Kristen and I are to find ourselves living within a mile from one of my two brothers (the other teaching kids in Morocco), and Kristen's sister. Yep, for those of you who don't know already, my brother and I married sisters. And we live about a 1/4 mile from one another. And we're not as backwoods country as it sounds. I thought I would just share some of their recent picks that we took during one of our days of Winter Mini-Sessions.
The cutie girls, Olive and Blythe.
The rascally boys, Burke and Liam.
the whole bunch of them.
the Christmas card photo.
And a few great ones of the mom and dad. (my sister-in-law, Bethany and my brother, Mark) We always try to make time for these photos at the end of a session. We use sayings like, "pretend you don't have those 4 children for a moment and lets take a few pictures of just the two of you." This does require some sort of me distracting the children in the background though. It's kind of cool how most of these pictures we take of married couples come out more natural than a lot of our engagement photos. It's encouraging and exciting to see that you really can love each other better after 10 years of marriage than during your engagement for example. Moral of the the story, more love=more sexy photos. Good job at being in loving each other, guys.
