Our little family

When we went back to Iowa this summer for a visit home, my old boss and dear friend Mindy Myers (see blog link to right) took our family photos. Of course in Iowa in the middle of August it's probably the hottest, most humid time of the year, but the photos turned out .... well see for yourself... there awesome (not to mention the gorgeous subjects!). You can't tell at all that we've soaked through our clothes with perspiration, so gross, I don't know how I lived liked that for 25 summers!

Ella was acting a little 2 at first....

But, it didn't take long for this star to start shining!

My little chub of love!

At the end Mindy says, "God threw down a rainbow to remind me that Iowa really wasn't such a bad place to grow up". She's right, sometime I miss that place more than I ever would have thought, mostly being away from my family and friends. Colorado's home now and I'm very blessed to live in such an amazing part of this country. Besides I would have never met my
fabulous husband, made these beautiful children, and been able to show you these phenomenal photographs!
I cherish these photos more than Mindy will ever know, she's just an amazing photographer who has always been and always will be an inspiration to me. Being photographers ourselves it's obviously pretty hard to get family photos, and I probably don't pick up the camera enough to take pictures of my own children. It's also just really cool to get another photographers perspective and vision of your family.
Thanks so much Mindy, can't wait to hang out again in November!
