birthday pictures

it has taken us all summer to work out a date, but today is finally the day when we are taking our annual 'birthday' pictures of the kids. instead of going to jcpenny, as we have every other year, we hired a friend of mine to take the pictures at a local garden she recommended. 

i snapped a few pictures at home for them to practice their smiles.

the garden was really awesome! there were all these different little nooks to explore. it is clearly a popular place for pictures as there were three other groups taking pictures when we got there.
the kids thought that this little garden was so cool with the plants 'potted' in little shoes.

 the kids had so much fun with my friend, nicole! and she had a good time with them too.

i can't wait to see what she got and am already planning some family shots this fall... love.

Love the kids' outfits! Group/family pictures can be a hassle to organize, and can get expensive, but when we do it, I'm always so pleased with a great shot, and how much better the quality of the pictures is than when I take them.
