Our Family's Portrait Session

For the first time since DJ was about 2 or 3 years old, we FINALLY got our family portraits taken. This is the first time Cody is included in our family portraits so I think this officially makes him a permanent fixture in our family. =)

We headed out to the Wooden Valley Winery with the awesomely talented Sharon of Homegrown Photography.

True to form, my boys wanted NOTHING to do with a camera! I can't imagine why. It isn't like they have had a camera on them almost daily for all of their lives. =)

Sharon was able to hold their attention and capture some beautiful expressions on my boys faces. DJ, of course, had to throw in his "cheese" smile. He's so funny!


I was going to post another family picture, but you will just have to wait for our Christmas card instead.

Look at my little stud muffin! He's so cute!!!!

At the end of our session, Cody found a twig and decided to draw on the dirt. He had an elaborate story about what he was drawing and in his own little language shared that story with Sharon.


Sharon stole Doyle and I for a few couple shots. This is my favorite! (For those that haven't seen his hair yet, YES, Doyle is now blonde!!!)

Sharon - THANK YOU! I forgot how stressful it is to be on the other side of the camera and trying to tackle my own children to stay still! =) LOL Thank you for making the process easier.

Tacey - THANK YOU SISTA!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the one of hubby and I. I don't think we have had a picture of just the two of us like that since we were married oh so many years ago! =) Miss you too!!!
