Aren't we cute?
Are you like me and you have no current pix of you and your honey? We used to take them at least when we went on vacation (really against my husband's protests...) but now it's all about the kids.
Anyway, a while back I had my friend do a portrait session of the whole family. I wanted shots of me, my husband and me together, the kids separately and the whole family. Yeah, I was asking a lot. Plus is was a crumby cloudy day. But once you have these things planned, it's kinda impossible to reschedule.
So we went ahead and I'm so glad we did. I'll share more of the kids and the family together later, but these are all about me and my husband.
I know I like to see pix of bloggers on their sites because then I feel like I know them better. Plus we're always the one behind the cameras so that doesn't happen too much.
So here I am.
I love this next shot of me...but I also feel like it doesn't really look like "me". Does that happen to you?
And here I am oh so serious...
or a little more light-hearted.
Christianne was into feet that day.
I love the mossy, grungy steps and background.
I'm calling this one our "rock band cover shot".
Nice smirk, hon. :)
That's just a little peek-a-boo at us in case you've never met us in person.

They're great photos! You look wonderful. I think I like the last one of you best. Something about your expression.
And I know what you mean about liking to see pictures of bloggers on their sites. It really does give you more of a sense of who they are.

She got some really great shots! Cloudy days are great for photos because everyone isn't squinting.
Love the red shoes!

Oh Jess, these pictures are so fun! My favorite is the rock band cover photo, and the one where you're less serious. You two make a great looking couple!

Those are wonderful portraits. It is definitely important to get good photos of yourself, too. There needs to be something pretty to look back on, not just the odd snapshot while you are doing something else and it looks like you have 3 chins when you really don't.

Great pics. It really is nice to see other bloggers. However after seeing you in all your gorgeousness and Katy (gingermonkey) I'm feeling very frumpy. Maybe I should get a haircut.

Great photos of you together! Didn't you used to have blonde hair or did I imagine that?

I love your pics! You're so right, once kids arrive you never have another photo taken with your beloved without the little people.... what's that all about. Anyway, good on, yours look great. :) Adele

Well done you and your friend :-)

Thanks for sharing those pics - you both look great! I love it when bloggers put up pics of themselves - nice to see a face behind the words!
