The Dry Spell Has Ended

After too many years of not having a family picture taken, the dry spell has ended. And, there is a flood my friends and boy, are we happy about it. My dear friend, Melissa, took our photos in November for our Christmas picture and I love them. We just went to a historic cemetery (exciting, huh?) close to our first house here in Kentucky. She did such a great job and especially did great at keeping up with Gage and Mallory. Trevor was getting over the flu, but was still a great sport about the whole thing. Then, we went to San Diego after Christmas and Tanya offered to take our family pictures for my birthday. That is the kind of birthday present I am talking about. She has been assisting a photographer for the last 4 or 5 months and is getting so good. She had the routine down and got my kids laughing and smiling. And, the lighting was amazing. So, in the end, we are extremely blessed with this many great photos of the kids and I cannot wait to fill my house with all of them. Tanya's are the first set with the golden hue and Melissa's are the second where we are all wearing red and blue!

P.S. - the photographer that Tanya works for, melaniesmithphotography, is traveling across the US this summer and is looking for interesting places to stop and perhaps photograph. And, she is setting up photography sessions with families is the places she stops as well. Check out Tanya's blog for more info.
