It's hard for me to even know what to say about these folks...I love them to pieces. This is my sweet sister-in-law and her beautiful family. I was lucky enough to take their pictures in Idaho, but I'm even luckier to be able to call them family. Hillary is one of the most beautiful people I know, inside and out. And just look at this family of hers. Wowzers! I just love 'em...all of 'em! :)
Next up from Idaho, we have my brother and his darling little family. I finally got to meet the newest addition to my side of the family, little Chase. And he did not disappoint! This babe was all smiles and seriously SO happy the entire time we were taking pictures. I think he liked me. :) We had a great evening with fabulous summer weather--I couldn't have asked for better!
Boy, oh boy...wasn't this fun?! (all of you family members are nodding in agreement, right?!) Here we have my ENTIRE family when we were all together in Idaho last month. It is a very rare occasion when every last one of us is there, so of course we figured it was high time for an updated picture. I think there were only 3 grandkids in the last family picture we had on the wall...now there are 15. Yes, that's right--15! All of them age 10 or under. So here we have 15 adults and 15 children and you can only imagine the craziness that ensued. But I really did think it was quite fun! Thankfully, I have a good tripod and we had a great helper so I could be in the picture too. I feel like it was nothing short of a miracle to have pulled this one off. :) And of course here are a few others from our day!
My "baby" brother who is almost 17...craziness I tell you!
And because I am a glutton for punishment, I post this following outtake...a tribute to a family picture of the past (one that has me scarred for life, pretty much). I can NOT look at this picture without busting out in laughter. You, my family, will all understand. Love you all!!!
I am pretty sure that I have mentioned what a highlight it is for my family and I to go to Idaho each summer, and part of that highlight is seeing friends and family that we rarely get to see. And of course, if I am really lucky, I get to meet up with a few of these folks each year for pictures...just like these guys! Katie is my cousin-in-law (I guess that's what you call it?!) and I so enjoy seeing her and her kids each year. This year was no exception--I had such a great evening of catching up and taking pictures! Thanks again, Katie!!
Well....I'm back! And I will have oodles of pictures to share in the next little while. I hit the ground running after getting back from Idaho and was quickly thrown in to the thick of back -to-school and then had a super sick child on top of it all. So my apologies to any of you who have been waiting to see a few of your pictures from my time in Idaho. First up is my super cute sister and her picture perfect family. I love them all to pieces and love taking a moment to photograph their family each year when I visit!
