this was different for me.
i haven't photographed such a big group before.
they stand so still just waiting to be told what to do….
and grownups smile when they are supposed to….how nice!
so different from children.
the cutie in the pink vest was talby's kindergarten teacher.
and also cora's mom.
talby got to come along with me for this session so she could spend some time with her.
there was a new grandbaby….named tripp.
isn't that adorable?
they put the baby in his stocking!
his sister got to hold him and kiss him….so sweet.
and she was rewarded with candy.
this one made me laugh out loud when it came up on the screen.
she was trying to get everyone smile like they 'd done for her…shaking that rattle.
but she ran right in front of me.
it's not good for me to be around babies.
i just want to keep them.
i come home and ask for another baby but craig keeps saying no.
i guess i was lucky just to get waffle.
he is just yummy.
and this one is in just to keep it real.
this is how it goes for my family so i am always happy to see we aren't the only ones.
trying to get pictures with little ones gets tricky.
this was a fun day.
thanks kathy for asking me…i'm glad you like them.
looking forward to next year. :)
Misty - I enjoyed looking through blog as I am remembering this little girls face (Cora). You are a beautiful photographer. I was sad when I came to this big family photo….. out of all the pics I have seen of Cora, this one hit me the hardest, because it is a picture and a family that will never be the same. But also because I see her face and I see NOW in that picture, was a very sick little girl, and nobody knew it or could help her.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures.
God Bless.
Beth - Beautiful family…and great pics that you capture!
traci - super job meg. i love the outside one in the playhouse.
Tonya - Um, could you just drop by Portland, Maine sometime this week to take a few shots of my new baby? The photos I’ve taken of her are nowhere near as nice as these. Please? I’ll make lunch and provide good coffee.
Staci - What a beautiful family! Tripp is super cute! Yea, I’m done with babies though 🙁 My little Mac dog is all I can handle these days 🙂 Beautiful photos of course 🙂
carissa - REALLY great! i can imagine that would be bit difficult… getting everyone “right”… not for you… you captured them so well Meg! and WHAT a BEAUTIFUL family… my goodnesss… ALL of them are so pretty!
hugs to you on this Monday morning! i’m going for my fourth cup! 🙂
MGF - Meg- You did a great job.
I have been thinking of your friend that just had surgery and wishing her and her family well.
Tably’s teacher looks so young and fun, compared to my son’s older than life teacher. Don’t get me wrong she’s a good teacher- but Talby’s teacher looks FUN.
gina - Those pictures came out great- even the, maybe especially the, “keeping it real” ones !
Melanie - Your photos are gorgeous. And so is baby Tripp. I wanna babysit. 🙂
Jessica - The pictures are great! I love the first one. My mom is SOOOOOO happy with them! Your photography is awesome Megan. I am so glad you brought Talby too. She is a sweetie. It was fun to see her. Thanks again…I can’t wait for you to take Cora’s pictures again. :o)
Kelley - Those pictures…and my two friends at church due ANY DAY make me want a baby NOW! Love the pictures.
traci - That baby is just PERFECT!!!! As far as Craig saying no to another baby I was always taught since the women carries and takes care of the baby mostly it is up to HER!! lol…Seriously, if you got pregnant would he say…Crap, no way! lol….I say, have no regrets and if you want another…have another!
danyele - i love it! great large group pics! how in thw world do you ever get the adults to shut up and not talk and only smile!! i can’t get my dad or my hubs to do it.
oh, that baby is delish!
sarah - That first picture is awesome! I can picture it blown up huge over a fireplace! You did well for your first large family – they aren’t easy to do!!
jesse Peak - What a good looking bunch. You did a great job!
Lanny Stanard - What wonderful picture’s Megan, I bet that was a fun and busy day! what a nice looking family 🙂
