Family Photos

It's been over a year and a half since we had our first set of family photos taken.  Despite the fact that I'm rarely without my camera, and I think I do a pretty good job, I frankly still have a lot to learn.  I kept saying last year that I wanted to get photos done again, and since our wedding/family photographer moved back to Cali, we needed to find the right person.  Fast forward to this spring and my meeting the fantastic Caitlin Scott.  I've posted some of Cait's photos here before, and of course rave about how well we get along to just about everyone.  

Sidenote-Both she and Jas have been away for the past two weeks, so I'm going a little stir crazy  here:)  

Anyway, I convinced Cait to squeeze us in  for a shoot on what felt like one of the hottest days so far.  She was a trooper, and we and we all ended up dripping with sweat, but I couldn't have asked for better shots.  As many of you know Chase can be a serious little man sometimes, and his giggles and smiles are sometimes difficult to catch with the camera.  Luckily he knows Cait really well and she knows just how to act like a nut to get him smiling.  During the shoot Jas and I acted like our goofy selves, and ran around with Chase.  We weren't looking for posed/formal shots.  That's just not us:)  We a blast, and I think Cait really captured who we are.  

Check out some of our shoot on Cait's blog to see for yourself:)

Oh by the way, once you look at the shots don't forget to post a comment on her blog.  The more raves we get in the section, the more likely we are to get a free print or so.  Its a comment contest and I'd love to see how we do:)

The set of shots on the blog are only a fraction of the pictures she sent me.  Some of the candid ones are awesome.  One of my faves is of Jason grabbing my ass with a smirk on his face.  It is a classic, and might just deserve to be blown up and hung in our home.  I will post a few other faves not on her blog when I have access.  ENJOY!!
