this one's for mom west...thought you'd like to see.

favorites from a mini photo session with benson

this was a fun saturday for our family.  the boys and andy helped do a service project while i took some pictures.  the boys are as grubby and scraggly as can be, but oh so at home in the forest.  my favorite thing here is that most of these are not posed, i didn't have to tell them to smile.  they are just happy and having a blast. you can see pure joy on their faces as they get soaked to the skin.  so soaked that they stripped down for the car ride home!  here are a few fun, not professional snapshots of the good times.

ethan and andy are so much alike.  i wanted to capture them together in a unique way.  what do you think?

the tree of life

hey, where'd she go?

we were trying out the self timer the other day & this is what we got...

the effect might be better when you are viewing it on the camera and first you see us together and then only andy.  ok, so maybe it's only funny to us.  :)

our new bunny, whiskers

the many faces of ethan

we often laugh and say we can read ethan like a book.  any emotion that crosses his mind also crosses his face.  i love it, it makes me laugh & admittedly my heart often melts...
