Crew's 3 Year Portraits (...and Raleigh, too)

I took the little guys out for a shoot again today. Just trying to be a good mom and make sure that I take the required photo for each year. I know, I know... I take a million pictures of my kids. But this one is the designated 3 year old photo. So it's official.

Crew didn't want his picture taken today, but you'd never know it from the shots. That kid turns it on when there's a camera around. No joke. These are some of my favorites. Especially the dancing and jumping ones.

It kills me how much Crew looks like my brother Matt in some of these. For those of you who know my family, am I right? Especially the third from the top. I wish I had some old pics of Matt to put on here to compare. Maybe when I'm home next week I'll do that.

P.S. I thought the shirt Raleigh is wearing under his jacket was cute. This morning Mike asked me why I am dressing our boys like Debbie Gibson. Can I get a little help? Does anyone else like the shirt?

Crew's 3rd Birthday Party

Party Time! Last weekend we celebrated Crew's 3rd Birthday. We finally have a yard now, so we invited all his buddies over for pizza, cake, and pony rides. All the kids had a good time. Everyone loved the horses except for poor little Porter. Here are some favorite shots from the party.

The Gardener Family

Yesterday I photographed the Gardener family at Murray Park. These guys were awesome. I photograph so many children anymore that I somtimes forget how easy it can be to take pictures of adults. Cameron, Savannah and Taylor all did great. They lasted much longer than I expected. I had a ton of fun photographing Gretchen, Megan, Lauren and Courtney (the daughters) with Janice (the mom). These are some of my favs from the shoot. Enjoy!
