Family Photos!

Excited is not even the word.  Ecstatic.  Possibly.  Very pleased, to say the least!  Last Friday we had family photos taken by Ashley Read Photography.  Our family has known Ashley for over a decade.  It has been a joy to watch her grow and mature into the beautiful young woman that she is today.  Her talent to capture the beauty of people and bring out their personalities in her photography is simply amazing!  We went to Tippecanoe Battlefield in Battleground, IN.  The day was just perfect - not too hot, but the sun was shining.  The ground was dry, the leaves had turned.  We all had a great time.  So, you can see our post on Ashley's blog, and also on my Facebook page, but here are a few of my personal favorites . . . (In addition to the one at the top of the blog, and the updated individual poses of the kids at the right!)

I loved the railroad tracks.  Such a great artistic element!

Mallory's toothless smile will be remembered forever.

Love those colorful trees!

Kind of wish the trees in the background were more colorful, but it's still a great shot!

Kids being goofy . . .of course!

A little more refined . . . and posed!

This was captured at a moment's notice.  And I love it!

My sweet husband - the best Dad I know!

And smiles with Mom! Wish we had more times like this.
