Snapshots of us...

My best friend Erin, her husband Teage, and her adorable twin boys, Dylan and Lucas, came from Seattle a couple weeks ago to stay the weekend with us. Erin, who is an amazing photographer, took our family pictures. They came at the perfect time, when all the leaves were changing, and it wasn't cold yet.
Madison loathes to be photographed, but because Erin is great at making her sessions not so formal, Madison is able to relax and be herself. Erin was able to capture some beautiful candid shots of her and the rest of our family. I am so happy with how they turned out. I love that I have some gorgeous pictures of my sweet children now.
Thank you Erin for taking the time to use your talent with our crazy family!



Erin put this together, and I love how it turned out!




Prima ballerina


Corey and mini-Corey (aka Gibson)


This is my favorite of my boys.




Maddie never tires of the 1,2,3, wheeeee game!










Batter up!



My mom thinks it looks like Madison has magical powers in this one! Too cute!

Pucker up baby.

Peek-a-boo!


I love how at ease she is in this photo. Anyone who knows my little pistol will know that this is quite the feat for her!


This picture astounds me at how much she looks like her Auntie Jo-Jo. What a tender mercy.





My fire and ice.














Gibson was on the move the entire time through the shoot, yet Erin was able to photograph his personality completely.

I love this shot that she took. Aren't the colors incredible?


Taking time to feed the ducks.

Gibson in awe of how close he could come to the little creatures!

This is G-man's money shot.

Leader of the pack.



I can't believe how grown up Madison looks here.


I saved the best for last. This will be the picture on our Christmas card this year.

Wow! Those turned out great. The colors are beautiful and I love the little cottage. I miss the fall colors!!! Arizona doesn't have much to offer in that department.
