Here they are!

Technically, these were done as Dave's birthday present. His birthday isn't until the end of September, but frankly, that time of year is pretty iffy around here weather wise...as our wedding would so tell. No snow in 10 years on Thanksgiving weekend...except the year we got married, naturally.

All 5 kids together.

 

 

 

 Of course, getting these pictures done turned out to be more difficult than anticipated....as mentioned in the last two posts. Even more so one we got there. Trying to get pictures taken of the silliest, most active 3 yr old on the planet is no easy task, and he was buzzing like a bee that night! Despite that, I think we did manage to get some good pictures, I'm so pleased with how they turned out! I always have a sort of picture in my head as to what the end result might be like, and if it turns out even close, I'm happy!
 As anyone with siblings knows, it's not all roses growing up with brothers and sisters, especially with so many of them. We have a wide age range from oldest to youngest which can make for a unique situation in our home. The two littlest boys simply adore their big brother, a feeling he returns despite sometimes getting a little frustrated with them, but it was hard to get a good picture of the three of them together.

 I like J's attitude in the one below...so her lol!

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

The two girls are in the middle of a

love/hate relationship with each other at the moment, they are fighters. At the end of the day, they really do love each other and I don't know what they would do without the other, something I think one day they will figure out on their own...I hope. someday. They sure did like taking their picture together though!

 

 

 

I always like to try every few years to take a picture with each parent with some of the kids. I'd like to think somewhere in the future the kids will like to have a photo with just a few of us...call me crazy I guess. Again, it was way easier to get pictures with the girls than with the boys. Poor M was so patient! I was impressed!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 Here is the real reason we had these pictures done; Grandma. Everyone just adores Dave's mom, and it's hard to imagine there ever being a world without her in it, but we realize one day, just like us all, there will be. What better way to appreciate Grandma than to get some photos done just to honour her. I hope she likes them as much as we do!

Of course through all of this, I can't stop singing the praises of our photographer Kristina. She is simply so talented and seems to really enjoy what she does. She is also extremely patient, something that suits her trade well.

Oh Jeshie. This pic to the left is him blowing raspberries into his sisters hair! It's been a bit of a thing for him lately.


If you notice that in most pictures Jesh is being held by someone, it's because we are attempting to physically pin him down so he will be IN the picture! Usually the job fell to Dave, but Grandma tried too.

 Feels like just yesterday we met but also like we've been together forever!

We really love how the over/cast cloudy sky added to these pictures, what  a cool effect you couldn't plan/pay for if you wanted!

 Well, that's it for today! Way too late for this lady. I hope that one day these pictures serve the purpose for which they were intended, to give everyone some great memories of their family and all the people that are in it, and I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we do!
