Family Photos

All photos in this post are by Demiurge Photography, Manhattan, KS

You know the worst thing about family photos?

They look just like me.

I'm kidding - sort of. 

 

I love taking photos, as evidenced by the thousands on my computer hard drive. 

I'm not as fond of being on the other side of the lens. 

 

However,  Jill arranged for a family photo shoot this fall, and we really appreciated being included. I love getting new photos of everyone else. I'm just not as wild about the process for myself. 

But as one of my favorite sayings goes, "It is what it is."

The weather didn't cooperate for the first try. But our second attempt was a perfect fall day. And I'm thankful for the updates to the photo frames scattered all around my house.

Isn't this one fun? It took several attempts to get everyone in the air and looking at the camera at the same time.

But I love all the more traditional poses as well. 

Kinley is 8 (almost 9). Brooke is 6.

I'll leave the rest of us unlabeled.
