Be warned: there are some seriously adorable boys in this post! I was so excited that the weather held out for my shoot with Brittney and her family. I got some of my favorite ever family portraits at this shoot! It’s really hard not to make this post 40 pictures long!
It thrills me to get a shot that I immediately want to paste my own family’s heads into:
Poor Ben arrived not quite ready for pictures and only ready for his mom’s lap. I loved it. If reminded me of my Will!
We switched settings and the boys took turns telling their mom jokes:
A funny one that I love because it happens to me so often. All part of being a mom!
Jack rolled up his jeans so he could get his feet in the water and I knew we needed some Huck Finn style shots! I asked the boys to tell each other three things they liked about their brother and their answers were so cute.! Jack was all “I like that you play with me” and Ben [the younger brother] had the hero worship “you are funny” “you are smart” “you are cool” answers.
Shifting back to 2008, I had the whole crew sit in the grass for some family chat time.
The boys love talking about football with their grandpa!
Ben is such a serious little guy–I love his quiet thoughtfulness!
I got him to show me his clover treasures that he collected:
Jack has the most impressive knowledge of football!
Some people use telephoto lenses to sneak up on birds and animals. I use them to sneak up on boys!
There’s nothing cuter than two brothers on an adventure!
Thanks for a wonderful afternoon! I hope you love the sneak peek!

Colorado Springs Wedding Photographer Sep 23, 2008 at 10:09LOL! I *didn't* want boys. I wanted girls. And now that I have my boy, I would gladly have only boys (as long as at least one promises to either marry a girl who will be like a pseudo-daughter to me and love all my quilts and scrapbooks). It really is true what they say--no one loves their mommy more than boys (as evidenced by this week's This American Life where sending a man into violent parts of Africa with offensive messages wasn't too bad, but telling him that his mom was dead was crossing the line). And boys teach you lots of good things like how pee on the toilet seat really isn't that gross in the scheme of things. ;)
