Summer Family Photos 2009

This is the post you've all been waiting for--our family pictures! I'm being sarcastic but actually since you helped me pick our outfits, I thought you might want to see how they turned out. My friend Jill took the photos and I'm so happy with them.

Jill has the most amazing pictures on her blog. The crazy thing is that she and I have the same camera--I bought mine because her pictures were so beautiful--even her everyday photos. But, my photos look nothing like hers--it just goes to show that the camera does not make the picture. Jill just stated taking pictures professionally and you can visit her website Day Tew Day Photography. As a side note, Jill is the mother to triplets (two girls and a boy) who are 5, and two other little boys. I've known her since kindergarten and I just adore her. So without further ado, here are our photos:

    The photos look great! I love the clothes you picked out for everyone, and think Sammie skirt is enviable. What girl (little or not) could resist such a skirt?

    Brooke this is GROGEOUS!!!! Hey, on a side note, I'm giving away some cute headbands on the ole' bog. Your sister was drawn out of the hat last time - who knows maybe this time it could be you!

    Will you outfit my family next time I do pics? I hate doing that. They are so cute. How fun are those of Sammie? You should put her in modeling....plus she's got the diva attitude to be a top model!

    How do you pick out the clothes for your family pics?!! I swear every year your family pics get better and better and I want to mimick them every year, but just don't have that much style to get it all together and as uniquely as you do..hats off...you seriously need to go in to the business of dressing peeps for their pics!

    Hi. You don't know me. But, I was at D-Dawg's blog and then I ended up on yours this morning. And I love the pictures! But even more your dress and sweater and SO pretty. I would love to know where you found it (If you don't mind telling me.) :)
