It's A Miracle....Our family pics

Being a photographer and having your family photographed is not easy. Especially when you have 4 children under 3. My amazing and talented friend Micaela http://www.yourphotosbyme.blogspot.com/ took on the task of taking our family pictures. Little did she know what she was in for. Getting twin 8 month olds to look your way is quite a feat. And then add in some sassy have a mind of their own 3 year olds and it is an absolute nightmare. Oh and don't forget the pycho mother who told my friend exactly how to shoot. I was every photographers worst nightmare (It's something I am not proud of)
In hindsight I don't know why I didn't just bring a helper along....duh! By the end Micaela and I were both done and of course so were the kids. Sorting through them the first time all I saw was this.....








But upon further looking I found so many sweet little gems that I can't wait to hang big on my wall.

Micaela...thank you for putting up with this crazy overwhelmed twin mom. We got so many cute ones and I will always be grateful to you for your talent and patience. I love that you captured my family and it's insanity.


So here you go...these are my favorites out of the 800+ pictures. I am saving the best one for the Christmas cards....oh the suspense!! It is seriously lovely and I just ordered a huge canvas for my wall...

Oh Leah, I honestly love every single one of these!! She really did an awesome job. I really adore the one with all four of your kids on the yellow chair and the one of the boys on the box thing.
Beautiful!

I'm lurving all of these pics, even the first one! I love how you can see Miss A's sassy attitude in the pics too. She reminds me of my first born.

The boys are so edible with all of their chubbs!

These turned out fantastic! I didn't even bother this year - just copied a miracle snapshot that I had to make photo cards. Next year my little ones should be old enough to bribe them so maybe we'll do a portrait then. Merry Christmas!

LOVE THEM!!! The color is great, but it is because of the subjects (your beautiful family) that they turned out so fabulous! I can't believe your boys are eight months already. Is that even possible? You look great!
