The Jacksons

Kate and I along with Summer, Bella, Ethan, Tyler & Chase all headed over to the Reiff house to take some family pictures. The house is the perfect studio. Brenda has the house stocked with the best props not to mention goodies for taking family portraits. The outdoors was even perfect although I think Summer was a little worried that it wasn't finished enough for pictures, but I think they turned out great. I loved the color ones so I had to put them on as well, but the sepia are my favorites.

Here you can see one of the many Christmas decorations in the home. We had to take a Christmas picture while we were there. I love the tree behind them. The colors were great. The boys were fabulous while we were taking pictures, although they were a little tired and distracted by this point. I'll have to put in a progression of pictures of Ryan in these pictures. While everyone mostly had the same face plastered on, he was making faces through several (one asleep, one ubersmiling, and one half dead). It was really funny actually. Sometimes I don't catch it while I'm taking the pictures and get a good laugh out of going through them later.

Like I said before, the boys were super cooperative. They get cuter and cuter everyday and those missing teeth on Tyler are ADORABLE!! I can't get enough pictures of my neice and nephews.

Summer was a big help for the pictures of the whole family. She had really great ideas and she could get the boys to smile real smiles.

I think overall the day was a great photo success. I'm so lucky to have such photogenic people to take pictures. It makes my life a whole lot more fun and easier for that matter (less editing). Thanks for having such great kids Kate and Ryan, and Summer and Steve! Thanks Carl and Brenda for letting us use your house. It is SO beautiful! Next time we'll have to plan it better so we can be there when you're there!
