kj {urban portrait}

prepare yourself because this is going to be long!  a couple of weeks ago my sister was in town and we went downtown to take some pictures.  for christmas mom had asked for updated pictures of us...the most recent pictures she had of us were from our senior years of HIGH SCHOOL....ouch!  i got her one of mymichael and myself but we never got a chance to take some pictures of my sister kelsi jane...kj.  so here are some from our fun, freezing cold day downtown!  i may be slightly bias, but isn't she gorgeous!?!?!?

okay, i know the pics below are blown out, but i really love her facial expressions and i actually kinda like the way they turned out...

and yes, if you are wondering, that is the yellow line in the middle of the street.  mom was yelling from the sidewalk, "there's a car coming, there's a car coming!"

kj, i hope you like the pics we got...love you tons!

the miller's {family pics}

my friend   c a r i s s a   has an adorable family and asked if i would take some family pictures for her.  she wanted a little bit of a country feel and found a great field that had perfect round bales of hay.  dodging the mist, bugs and awful stickers, we set out to get some good shots....take a peak...

{you will find that with 3 under 4 yrs. there aren't too many pics with everyone looking the same way AND smiling!  luckily they are so stinkin' cute it doesn't matter!}

{king of the hay bale...with his knock out smile, big muscles and light saber big brother will keep away any bad villans from little brother!}

{hi, i'm middle sister and i could be in any children's clothing ad b/c i am sooo cute.  would you please look at my adorable glasses and dimples?  i get everything i want b/c i AM that cute!}

{littlest brother is about the best 7 month old baby i have seen...not one single peep out of this guy the entire time...and please look at those cute boots!}

{daddy kissing his girl makes my heart melt....isn't that sweet?}

aren't they a super cute family???  being the mother of 3 under 4, she definitely has her hands full!  check out her hilarious blog miller party of five for some good laughs!  thanks carissa for letting me take some fun pics of your great family!!!
