New Family Photos

I am beyond thrilled at our new family photos!  We met with Ginny from Photography by Virginia Hobbs about a week ago and she came up with these!

Anne just makes this pic - this is so her!!!

His arms - my favorite spot in the world.  Love this pic....

So blessed by this girl.  Love her so much!

Love this!

I'm so in love with each of these and they were just the teasers on Facebook last night.  If you would like to see the rest - Click Here.  She even did a little piece on her blog about Apparent Project and the necklace I was wearing.  To see that - Click Here.

I cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of them!  As you probably noticed, my blog received an upgrade as well. 

Ginny was amazing to work with.  I have known her since she was a little girl.  Her mom was my Sunday School teacher when I was in High School.  I simply love their family.  They have always been such a blessing and encouragement to me.  This has been no exception.

Thank you Ginny!  You were such a blessing to us and you have given us sweet treasures!

New Family Pictures!

Last Saturday we had our family pictures done.  It had been a while since all 4 of us were photographed together.  I think Anne was one.  I'm VERY happy with the results!  What do you think?

 This one cracked me up!  The photographer didn't tell us she was having the kids make funny faces.  Hilarious!!!

 This is a 16 x 30 poster size that will hang in Russell's office.  How cool is that?

We had this collage done in a 20 x 24 to hang in our Living Room.  LOVE IT!!!!

Our Fairy Princess

OOOHHHHH!  I'm soooooo excited!  I've been waiting weeks to post these and I finally received the digital proofs!  I work with a group of wedding professionals at The Wedding Party here in Jacksonville.  They recently expanded and brought in Rick Ferro and Tammie Sybelnik of The Wedding and Portrait Photographers.  Rick is an international award winning Master Photographer and one of the leading wedding photographers in the nation.  Tammie focuses on portraits.  She is highly creative and fun and was awarded the North Florida Photographer of the Year for 2009.  She loves to build new sets and bring in live animals.  She also does outdoor photos on the beach or any other location.

Back in May, Tammie was building a new set for her Fairy Princess photos and asked if Anne could come in and model for her.  I immediately agreed.  Anne was amazing - she took her little job so seriously and yet loved every minute of it!  Of course, she wanted to bring the dress home.  I couldn't blame her - it was lovely!  Tammie was awesome!  Her outgoing and fun personality made Anne feel so comfortable and they had a great time!  Anyway  - if you are looking for specialty portraits, I highly recommend Tammie!  Like I said, she is highly creative and great with kids!

Enjoy!!!!

I took the kids to get their pictures done today and thought I would share them with you. As you can see, I had a tough time choosing. Enjoy!
