Picture Perfect

Matt makes fun of me, but I have a thing for photographers. I don't know what it is, but I think I have this idea that they can capture some angle, look, moment, or something else that those who know us well can't. This is not always true, as Matt has taken some pretty awesome pictures of the kids, but I think there is some truth to it. Matt jokes that I think they are starving artists and I need to shovel money to them. But I guess I just like the opportunity of some great photos that will capture this particular moment in time. Anyway, when the opportunity came up through a parenting circle here in Boulder to have an amateur-turning-pro take some free shots of the kids, of course I did it! I think they turned out really nice.... here is the link to the photographer's blog to see the full selection:

She took like a million pictures, but these were her pick. She usually only posts a few from a session, but we were "so cute" that she posted a bunch:-) I'll take the kids back this summer (before she starts charging, of course!) and maybe Ian will be in a smiling mood. Of course, when you ask him to smile for a picture he scrunches up his face and may grace the camera with his special double-eye wink. You have to catch those smiles on the fly....
