Photo Shoot!

Here are some of our favorites from the photo shoot with Jenn last weekend. She did such an awesome job capturing Lili's crazy personality and Will's sweet disposition! I also love that she did this in our home and was able to highlight the funny things they do in the place they are most comfortable in.

Jenn used to be one of Lili's infant teachers at New Horizons, but is now pursuing a career in photography. She's just starting out, but as you can see, she's very talented! If you're interested in having her do a photo shoot for your family, you can contact her through her website http://www.jennolsonphotography.com/.

I am all for supporting friends and family in their business endeavors...especially when they are so talented and deserve a shot at making it in this crummy economy! Recently I sent out a mass email asking people to vote for my friends, Amanda & Tony, who started a business called Spilled Ink Press and were finalists in a contest to win $20,000 in free advertising. Well, guess what? THEY WON!!! Can you believe it?!?!? They totally deserve it, but it still amazes me at what an awesome opportunity this is for them and everything they have worked so hard for! Thanks to everyone who went out there and voted!

Anyway, sorry for the detour...back to these pics! A couple of things to note.............the big giant purple monkey? Our friends Mac & Dave won that for Lili at the State Fair (at least I "think" it was the State Fair?) and it ended up being an awesome prop! If you tell Lili to go get a monkey, she runs to her room and tries to drag that one out! The funniest part about that is that she has a gazillion stuffed monkeys in all shapes, sizes and colors......but she chooses to pick the largest and heaviest one! Also, I love the pic of the "Baby" plaque in Will's room sitting next to the cowboy boots. The boots were actually Drew's when he was little and he apparently LOVED to wear them. They are a little worn and even have little spurs on the backs, which are adorable! I think we will have to get Will in those some day...
