my absolute faveWe had a photo session way back in July with my friend Jeri while we were visiting family in DC. It was my intention to do it to get a decent shot or two of the boys and hopefully a good one of the three of us as a gift for Doug.
To preserve in my memory, we did it at my favorite place in Columbia, MD--Lake Elkhorn. It was about 8:45 when we arrived and already hot and sticky. The boys really responded to Jeri's mild promptings and, in the end, Bode really got into it. When the photographer asks, "What does a pirate say?" this is when the adult(s) in the shot are supposed to keep their smiles fixed and the children are to respond. NOT the other way around. Lesson learned.
Jeri is MAGIC. There were so many photos to choose from (Oh, the agony!). See the proof below.
Keegen was fantastic for the first half of the shoot. And when he was DONE, Bode had warmed up and was ready to go. It actually worked out really well. The final shots were the ones of the three of us. Keegs looks a bit, well, done in the final selection, but it works.
And after only a year (well, i got the prints in November, but a year since the shoot), these puppies are matted, framed and ready to go up on my wall. Wonder how long it will take me to do that...

Ash, those are fantastic. I saw one at Mom's that I assume was from the same shoot. It's darling too! How lucky to have such a great photographer for a friend. It's so hard to get good pictures that look like the kiddos. Love them! And if the first one isn't just perfect . . .
Those pictures are AWESOME!!!! Jeri does rock. She does a great job of showing personality. I LOVE THEM. I just got out all my old picture frames from my house thinking about putting some up and after being in a box for 4 years I am in need of some updated.
