R&N

I love these kidds.  so much.  so so much.  so much that I could just steal them all and raise them as my own.  except that would make weekly family dinners awkward.  

oh my gosh I'm so creepy.

maybe I should mention that this was my very first shoot with a family of seven.  or any family larger than three, really.  so I knew it would be hard to get all eyes on me all at the same time, but I underestimated how quick I would have to be to catch those rare moments!  thanks Nat, for letting me capture your family!  I promise I won't really steal them. 

but I want to.

can you blame me?

cross my heart I did absolutely ZERO editing on those eyeballs.  or any of the others (look at those piercing blue eyes on mom with her baby!).  this family and their stunning beauty is REEdiculous.

probably the best action sequence of all time...

for this shoot I rented my dream lens, and until the day I got it it was only my dream lens because other people said it was great.  but now I know my life will not be complete without it.

I sure hope Santa makes a 24-105 4.0 in his workshop because if he doesn't I don't think that even with a completely miserable incomplete life I could ever fork out 3 grand for a piece of glass.  no matter how amazingly beautiful it is.
