How does one even choose?

One of our friends and a former colleague of mine has taken family photos of us every few years since I was pregnant with Kali! The most recent photo shoot happened on Wednesday of this week. There was a flurry of stress and emotions right before it started, but it miraculously turned out ok in the end. I can't imagine having anyone else take photos of us now - we've been spoiled! And this was a special treat in that he came to our home and took photos of us outside around the farm. 

In no particular order, here's a smattering of just a few of the 200+ photos I had to choose from!

Each of the girls and Jason got an animal to be photographed with. Jason's was a reprise of his high school senior photo. I guess you could say Kali's photo with Duckie could be hers. Alida chose Lilly to join her and Jason snagged a random chick for Terah from the most recently hatched!

I pondered getting our toads, Prince and Dolly, from the seed sanctuary for my photo but decided to spare them!! By the end, we were getting a tad silly! Here's Jason with his bearded barley!

And now you can enjoy some of these favorites with no additional commentary:
