Family Pictures

I have learned-mostly the hard way- the value of good pictures; and that a photographer whose vision coincides with your own is a rare and wonderful find. I've been wanting to do family pictures for a long time, and finally made the call just before Christmas. It took, honestly, MONTHS and MONTHS* for the weather and schedules of all parties concerned to finally line up (with the weather being the most truculent and disagreeable one involved). We had many a shoot canceled at the last moment due to rain or snow-- always AFTER I had spent all weekend making sure both of my men had fresh haircuts, clean clothes, and buffed shoes. But here, finally, are the gems of our photographers labours, and TJ's frequent haircuts. There are alot of pictures. It's to make up for my lack of posting. If you live in OKC, our photographer is Randy Coleman. Call me for his number, and because I have referral coupons for you!
*When we scheduled the pictures, I bought TJ a new pair of bootcut baby jeans, so he could match his parents. However, by the time the pictures were finally shot, he had nearly grown out of the jeans, and you'll notice they are rather high-water.

I love those! TJ is to stinking cute and he has two good looking parents. I especially love the family picture where you are all standing and the second to last picture, I could just eat Tj's cute baby cheeks.

Great shots Mel! I love the setting and that old falling over house. You guys make one adorable family and I'm going to miss hanging out with you and TJ!

Beautiful!!! Those are beautiful pictures. I love the sepia tones, old leaning barn and beautiful people. Even though your husband and son are both extremely handsome, you out shine them both!
