My Beauties

The best laid plans doesn’t always work, do they?  We had a session booked for family pictures last fall but things weren’t working in our favour that day and the shoot never happened. So, I made other plans, on the sly!

While Michael was away for work, Christine of Wonkyeye Photography came over one VERY windy afternoon and captured our girls and a couple of their four-legged friends on camera.  And I have to say just how awesome the pictures turned out, like they always do with Christine behind the camera!!

We started out with both girls and the pony.  Hannah wasn’t into that so much but we did manage to capture a good one!!

Then it was Lena’s turn with just Ebony.  They have a funny relationship, they both love each other as long as the other is doing what they want and if not, wellllll…..  Ebony looks so short here, and yes, she is little, but not as little as she appears here.

We tried to get Ebony, Buttecat and the girls in one picture but the cat wanted nothing to do with the pony.  And yet he would wander into the pictures at random.  Buttercat is used to being photographed by Christine as he used to belong to them, which you can read about HERE.  Hannah thinks the world of that cat, everything is about BB.

And finally, just our two sweet girlies together!!  I love Hannah’s legs stretched out and their boots and how Hannah is leaning into Lena.  They aren’t very lovey dovey towards each other, and by that I mean that they aren’t affectionate so this rare display is extra cute to me.

So those are my favourites but some of the outtakes make me laugh, too.  I feel like I should share them and I’m so thankful Christine included them with all the rest.  They show the personalities of the girls even more.  For example, what exactly is Hannah doing here??

And the four of them together….Buttercat is making his exit from Hannah’s arms…and Lena is sternly speaking to the pony, trying so hard to get everyone to cooperate!  And there’s Hannah’s muddy knees, I think she gets her inability to stay clean from me, just ask my Dad.

Michael loved unwrapping pictures of his two favourite girls { I don’t stand a chance against them 😉 } and the grandparents loved getting pictures, too, this past Christmas.  I mean, how could they not, right?

Some of my favourite pictures of our family are ones that Christine took over the years.  She has such a gift at capturing us, just living real life together.  The pictures aren’t forced, we feel very at ease in front of her camera.  And hopefully this spring weather and life will cooperate and allow us to get all of us together.
