I showed up to Ellie's portrait sitting with a bit of a Holiday hang-over, it seemed like I had almost forgot how to do what I do. It had been 3 jam-packed days of finishing homemade gifts, buying gifts, trying to remember what gifts needed to be made or purchased, making food, consuming food, prepping food, trying to remember what food hadn't been purchased or had been cut from the menu.... Oh and the cookies. That was just a disaster! There was so much wrong there. So with all that still lingering, I drove to Boulder, not sure if I could remember what to do. Ellie and her family quickly snapped me out of my post-holiday funk and I was off and running! They were so marvelous and a fabulous group to be around!
I love Maggie's face! And she was the excited one to get her pictures taken! She just didn't want to give in so easily.
I love the parent's faces on this one! I think it is funny how the kids hid in the hug, but I guess that's how hugging goes!
Awww! Cousins! I am always intensely jealous of cousins! My cousins are so much younger than me and I know they are better than siblings - because siblings rat you out or steal your things. Cousins may say something to your mom and dad or borrow something, but it's different, they are aren't annoying.
They warned me that Tessa and Winnie may be more of a handful than Jack and Maggie, but I think they were just saying that. All 4 kids were such a joy (I especially loved Winnie's pouty faces, but that's just me.)
I bet these guys had the best Holidays, just because they were all together! They are such a lovely family.
Jack's grassed stained knees. So had to be photographed!
If you look closely, you will observe Maggie trying to hide behind her dad's knees and the tall grasses. Such a cutie!
I love, LOVE Tessa's idea of a family picture! I will be hiring her for posing ideas soon.
She was going to get that ball - no matter what!
This is the start of a kid totem pole. In future years, they won't need help holding themselves up (although that would be a great recreation with the parent's holding up taller than them teenagers.)
Everyone loved Jack!
