chris and i have been working hard on our new jac website makeover for a long time. (sooo close to being done!) so when it came time for us to get new photos of ourselves taken for the site, chris asked one of our favorite photographers. at first it was to just be him and i, but as the date got closer, i KNEW i couldn't pass up the kids not joining us. so we spent a few minutes with them before we headed out to do our own thing. i am SO GLAD WE DID.
it was so interesting to see how the kids reacted to someone else taking their photos. the 3 older kids meshed with jon quickly and laughed along with him. i am so thrilled to see the beauty he captured in kira. she's becoming such a young woman now that it takes my breath away. love that he got cam with his guitar. and caleb just being silly caleb. the brother shots kill me! elsie was a little shy/nervous i think. so i adore the ones of her with her family and her with chris and i. that's where she is comfortable, with her clan. :) and you can totally see that come through!
i can count on my hand how many family photos we have together and there's not a lot! so now i will treasure these little gems forever! it's somewhat addicting i think, now i am like- let's do it again! i want more more more! :) we had such a great time with jon... we thank him with all our hearts!
Wow - those pictures are incredible. YOur family is beautiful!

Jamie and Chris -- Absolutely love it! Cannot believe that you have very little family pictures... the 2nd to last one is a great one! The ones of the kids are so cute and capture each of them perfectly. I esp like the one of Kira with the bike and the one of Caleb's silly face. Ok ok, they're all cute!!
