Lucky me!

I have been lucky enough to have 4 great photographers take pictures of my family within the last 4 months.

Over kill?

Maybe, but they have all been for different occasions and really, when your kids are as cute as mine--can you really pass up a good photo op?

I say, NOPE!

First, my cousin Elizabeth Ashdown took some amazing pictures of Ruby (which have been displayed on the side of my blog in a slide show). I used these photos to make her announcement. I JUST barely sent out these announcements (she is nearly 4 months old--a bit old to "announce"). Please don't feel badly if you didn't get one of these in the mail. I hand made them, and they took a bit more time than I wanted. I pretty much just sent them to family...and not even all of my family (which is nearly impossible considering I have over 100 first cousins (about 90 of them coming from one side alone)). But here is Ruby's sweet announcement, displayed on my blog for all to enjoy!

Then I had my friend Nicole Baldwin take a few shots of Isaac and Luke for their 3 year old and 5 year old pics (yes I take new pictures of my kids every year). She was awesome and I can't wait to see the other picturs. I will be hiring her to do our family pictures in the future for sure!

Then I had a little mini photo op with my sister, who claimes to have no skills, but she is awesome. Look at these cute matching cousins!

And last, but not least, my good friend Janae took some great pics of our family while we were in AZ for Easter. If you want to see her work or more of our photo op, just click on her link on the side of my blog "Nothing but Love--Family Damily"

Thanks Janae!
