Pictures!
Back in August we had a little photo shoot with our favorite photographer. Jeff Dunn did our wedding for us, then a set of photos after Julie was born, and now another one with Sophie as well. I have nothing but nice things to say about our experiences with him - and anyone who reads my blog knows that I like to complain! He takes great pictures, he is a pleasure to work with, and I think his prices are probably fair considering what we've gotten for our money.
Today I picked up our package of photos from this last trip to his studio, and they are...well, you'll have to see for yourselves. Jeff generously gave me permission to post them here on my site. I think they're pretty great, but I may be a bit biased.
This first one was the only decent one we got with the whole family. Julie was a giant pill that day, and did not want to cooperate at all. It took everything all of us had just to get her to sit there and smile for a nanosecond, and I credit Jeff for getting a shot this decent given the circumstances. I have to admit that looking at this photo is a little tough for me since I'm a little rounder in the face than I'm used to thinking of myself. I've lost a few more pounds since this was taken, but even so it's a big contrast from even just the photos we took after Julie was born.
I love this picture. Joe and Sophie look so alike.
Couldn't you just eat those little hands and feet? I tried to get some good hand and feet pictures when Sophie was tiny, and found it impossible.
Sophie still loves to lean back on my lap and go upside down. It's fun for me to see it from the "other" point of view.
Gummy grin immortalized.
This picture speaks for itself. She's laughing here. The timing for this shoot was perfect because she was sitting well on her own but hadn't started crawling yet.
This picture happened during our attempts to shoot the family. Julie kept trying to sneak off and was being incredibly naughty. Jeff turned it into an opportunity, though, and it's a great one because the smile is natural and she's not pulling a face or screaming "CHEESE!" the way she so often does when I try to take her picture.
This is another example of perfectly naughty. She was climbing around like a little monkey, but look at the pretty picture!
Awww...I love nekked baby skin. I'm still guilty of smooching and raspberry-ing Sophie's little rolls every chance I get. She's laying on the blanket I knit for her.
That's it. I hope you enjoyed them half as much as I do. Thanks, Jeff! We'll see you in a couple more years. Also, I want to thank my friend Jen who gave us the dresses. Somehow, two different sets of people gave them the exact same two dresses, and since we both have two girls the same ages, she generously gave one set of the dresses to us. They are beautiful!
I'm off to bed, but tomorrow there will be another FO to report!

Those pictures are marvelous! I love them all, but I think my favorite is the close up of Sophie's eyes -- she's gonna make someone melt with those one day. What a beautiful family you are.
Those are all wonderful pictures. And like Meg, I think my fav is Sophie's close up.
Wow, these are so cute I can hardly see straight. Great to get all that baby flesh and tiny body parts as well as those naughty smiles.
Whatever you paid, it was worth it!
Shelly those are incredible photos! Gush, gush, gush...SO CUTE. I love the naughty Julie photos too - what a perfect little expression!
Your girls are so beautiful!! I love baby hands and feet too!!
I have to say, those are some of the most adorable miniature humans I've ever seen! :)
You do have beautiful daughters and together you all are a very handsome family. Your photographer did a great job capturing the joy.
The pictures are fab-u-lous! Thanks for sharing them!
What beautiful pictures!
I've been reading your blog off and on (got behind over the month and a half) and I'm so thankful for bloglines because now I can keep up! The pictures are absolutely gorgeous. love the dresses and I love the candid shots!
Wonderful photos! (And I think you look beautiful in that family shot!)
Those are beautiful photos, thanks for sharing them! and thanks to Jeff Dunn for giving you permission to share them, he is a gifted photographer to be able to get great pictures even of naughty Julie that day.
Amazing photos. You must be so thrilled with them. The girls are just adorable---hard to imagine a bad picture of either of them.
Definitely worth whatever you paid for the session. How fortunate to have such a talented friend.
Great pictures! I really really like the upside down one.
When my little brother was a baby, we used non-toxic inkpads to made footprints on greeting crads. I think we used them as birth announcements or something. Your kids are rediculous cuties.
The pictures are amazing, he's worth every cent of whatever you paid him, and I think the girls dresses are divine.
These are the most fantastic photos! They're so clear and crisp. Paying for a professional is worth it.
oh my gosh - soooo cute!! Great photos, but how could they not be when the subjects are so adorable??? Lydia
Oh, the cuteness! I agree with an earlier poster, how could you get a bad shot of either of those two doll-babies?? You look good too, by the way, no excess roundness at all.
