I Couldn't Resist...

This year several girls in the MBA spouse group have advertised their talents in the photography department. There are so many and each has their own style and they almost make me want to pick up a camera and try it for myself. But... since I don't have a camera that shwanky (love that word), I decided that we'd put to work all their shwanky cameras! I just feel like, when are we going to be near this many willing and talented photographers again? Who knows?? Might as well take advantage of it now, right?! Of course right! (what musical is that last sentence a quote from? Rare nickel to whoever knows the answer...!) Soooo, much to Bryce's chagrin (what?? more pictures??), I signed us up for another round of family pics! Since Sarah had just taken such lovely lovely mantle-type pics for us (thanks again, Sarah! Just framed one of them!), I asked Kelli to take more candid-type pics. And they turned out so cute! Thank you, Kelli! Here's just a couple...Each moment of the year has its own beauty . . .

what GREAT photos! How lucky to be surrounded by so many talented photographers. I know that can be a difficult thing to find. I'm currently on the hunt for photographers for a variety of purposes and have not had much luck . . . unless I want to pay $800. um, no thanks.
*the kids' holiday attire is adorable!

Those are fantastic! Too bad you can't keep these photographers in your back pocket for those special moments all the time!
Glad to see what Travis looks like now. Thanks for sharing these.

I LOVE Sophie's hat! These are such fun pictures! Matthew Jr. (and Sr. too, I guess!) hates pictures! He runs! So it is fun to see how photogenic your family is!

OK, those are the cutest of ALL time! Love the hat!!! I've found that I'm a total hat mom, I put hats on my kids whenever possible! Who is that photographer and do they ever come to Houston??? Your fam is so precious!
