It's my favorite time of year - Picture time! Our amazing friends/photographers just did a shoot with our fam. last week so that we could find a pic for the annual Christmas card, and as usual, they were creative and cheerful and immensely patient with a family of 6, a blaring hot sun, multiple pesky flies, and a group of cross country runners that kept running through our shots! Part of their talent is that they like to take pictures of shadows and backs and feet and other fun angles that reveal a certain charm and whimsy that is somehow simultaneously current and vintage at the same time. Kat is in love with all things romantic, like rainy days, old movies, and sentimental mementos, my husband and I are a bit more pragmatic than she is. So it cracked me up that she said that the 2 pics above (the one of the girls' backs, and then the one of their feet) were some of her favorites. Dan just looked at them, and said, "I don't get it, why does she like those?" He super loved the close ups of the girls and the more traditional family shots. It was just another reminder for me that beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder.But seriously, the pictures are awesome, will reveal more soon, or you'll just have to wait till the Christmas card comes out.
