Family Pictures

Months ago, the school that my brother-in-law works at had a silent auction to raise money.  One of the items that was for sale was a professional portrait session.  Amy was kind enough to bid on it and win it for us.  It was greatly desired by me because we had no real family pictures with Glen or of Glen alone (at least no professional pictures where the person knows what they are doing).

So we met up with a wonderful photographer named Jeff James who took all of the wonderful pictures that follow.  We decided to have the pictures taken at a local park near a pond.  Rain showers threatened but it turned out to be a wonderful time.


Glen was just way too interested in his overalls to help along this picture business

We tried to get a picture of the two kids together and this was the first attempt.  
Once again Glen did not cooperate the best.


Grace however, was a ham.  She loved the camera.


She twirled and danced and had a grand time.  There are more pictures of Grace than of anything else during that session.


This is my favorite of her.


We got the best pictures of Glen as he was laying in the grass relaxing.
He got a little bit of help with the smiles from some tickling from his daddy. 


Look at those eyes!


Yet another attempt of the two kids together.


Matt and I.  Kind of a nice shot.


Oh, wait....there is a kid at our feet.


Our last attempt of a pic of the two kids.  I like it except that Glen is not in focus.

All in all, I love our pictures.  Thank you Amy for winning them.  Thank you Jeff for taking them.

I like the first picture of Grace as well. She looks like a model in front a fan--to make that blond hair blow just right...:)

And thank you for sharing them! You are right, Lana, the pictures of Grace are the best. She may be a Virginia ham, but she's a cute ham.
