Family Traditions - German style pictures!

Last weekend we took Ry to JCP for our family's traditional German pictures in Lederhosen!  My mom's side of the family started this tradition with us (and my cousins) and now it's up to us to continue it with our kids!  The Dirndle and Lederhosen are authentic outfits from Germany.  :)

I can't wait to get our images from JCP (beginning of Oct).  Here's a link to the album, although it expires after 3 months.

Below are a few photos I took with my phone as well as the pictures of my brother and me.  :)

Extended Family Photos

My brother, SIL and their new baby Mason (only boy nephew!) came down for our annual trip to the beach at the end of June.  While they were here we decided to take some extended family pictures.  Luckily the photog we use for Carsyn's sessions was avail to handle all 11 of us.  :)  Color scheme worked out really well, just in time for 4th of July!

Finally getting around to posting Carysn's 3 Month pro pics (From 2/2/2014).  Than you Noelle Kai Photography for another sweet session!  Big sissy was able to join us this time for some great family and sibling photos.

Carsyn's Newborn Session

Here are a few pictures from Carsyn's newborn session when she was just 12 days old.  Noelle Kai Photography took some wonderful pictures of our little girl and big brother Ryland.  She was a bit fussy the first hour, but then tired herself out for the second half of the photo shoot.  I love the sweetness of these photos.

Family Photo Session

New family photos are in!  We should have had them back at the beginning of April but unfortunately the disc with our pictures was lost, so we had to reschedule the shoot at the end of April.  Thankfully Kaoni put a rush on them and we had them back in a week.  I'm very happy with how they turned out, especially considering when we arrived at Mueller Lake Park it was super busy.  I love our color scheme too!  :)
