Priceless Moments

I am so glad that we met Chelse Thompson. She is so beautifully gifted. I really wish I had her take pregnancy pictures of me, but I never got around to it. I wish we had know about her when Max was itty bitty. Did you see Kinley's newborn pics? So sweet! Here are some teasers from this morning's photo shoot. We were bummed because the pics were supposed to be taken outside at Highland Park, but due to the weather we headed indoors at the Lamberton Conservatory. What a well kept secret! Max had so much fun (as did we!) The beauty of Chelse's work? It is so natural. Driving home afterwards I tried to imagine the stress that would have ensued had we dressed up the kids in their 'Sunday best,' headed to the shopping mall photo studio, and sat in posed positions. Instead we headed out for a family morning, had fun playing and exploring with our little people, while Chelse sneakily snapped pics. Really? Could amazing family pics be that easy yet look that great?! You be the judge!

It is frightening how much Kinley resembles Max in this picture!

Aww! So sweet! Can you hear the infectious laugh coming from his belly?!

You can check out more of Chelse's work at her blog. She will probably post some more pics of us in the next few days or so.
