photo shoot

My friend Chesley recently offered to "practice" her photography on my girls. It was the best Christmas present ever! She took the stress off of me having to take a picture for our Christmas card. I think we picked the only cold day that week, but fortunately my girls will play outside no matter how cold it gets, so we went ahead and tried for outdoor pictures. I loved them--she took a ton, and I probably posted way too many, but I couldn't make up my mind, and wanted my mom and dad to see them. I think she did an incredible job and was able to get pictures of Mamie a) smiling and b) facing the camera, which are both close to impossible.

Lilly loves to strike a pose.
































Future competitive tricycle rider. It is serious business. She would sleep with it in her bed if I let her.


















Thank you Chesley!

Seriously great pictures! I love the one of Mamie on the trike from behind with the pumpkin and the one of her on the swing cheesin'! That one of two of them snuggling on the ground (or is that wrestling?) - either way - is great, too! They all are! It helps that the subjects are so cute, of course...
