The Best Family Pictures EVER!

My beautiful friend Alli came home from Arizona for a visit so I had her take our family pictures. Jeff was hateful about it because it was so hot outside. About 98 degrees. You know how family pictures go - - mom's and dad's yelling at their kids that they better smile or else! - little ones not wanting to cooperate - older ones getting irritated with the little ones - mom threatening again that everyone is going to be in BIG trouble if we are all not happy NOW.

Well I am happy to announce that we were able to pull off family pictures without any of the hassle! It was great! Alli came to our house, we went out back and spent about 20 minutes - literally - and we were done!

Jeff was even having a good enough time that he goofed around for a minute.



We seriously took everyone's pictures and the family ones in about 20 minutes time! It was so great.
Then Alli and I took Molly and did some more of her just by herself.

Isn't she so stinkin' cute!

Thanks Alli! I love them!

These are so cute. You all look so great. I can't believe how fast your kids grow.

Aww...I just got a little chocked up Ab! Thanks...you are too nice :). It is really easy when the whole family is so photogenic and very well behaved! It was so much fun and that little Molly I want to eat her right up! Love the rain boot pics you took of her...where was the rain while I was there? I need to call and see how your NY trip went. I am sure you had a BLAST.

Her name is Allison Johnson. She was a Black if you know any of the Blacks in Salem. She lives in AZ but comes up here a lot to visit family. Sometimes she will just make a trip for photography only. She will book several appointments and come up! Her blog is allijphotography.blogspot.com In case I have it wrong, her family blog is johnsonfamilynow.blogspot.com and there is a link to her photography website there. She really is a talented photographer! Check her out and tell her you are my cousin.
