by the way, who's responsible for this photo shoot...

this family rocks
~~
remember the oldest daughter
?
she was one of my senior photo shoots from earlier this year
and
yesterday I had a blast {and a winter coat} capturing the whole family

look at how great these gorgeous girls are
~~
it was 39 degrees outside
~~
yes
you heard me right
39 degrees
and
they are totally hiding the fact that their fingers are numb
and
their bodies are freezing
you know me
~~
I really love outside photography
and
even though I did get some great inside shots of this fabulous family
~which you'll get to see soon enough and include the best dogs ever~
I love the outdoors
best
{and if you're asking why we waited so long to take photos, even though wisconsin is usually fabulous in october, this was the only time the whole family could get together}
and
even though at times I felt so mean making them be outside
wearing just a few layers
while I wore my coat and gloves and warm boots
~yes I'm a wuss~
I think they enjoyed themselves
at least a little bit
*
thank you guys so much
for making this shoot an absolute blast for me

  5. Yes, you capture the essence. It's cold here too. Blustery, wet and mitt-coat-hat weather.

  6. I love the BW jump shot. I hope the enlarge this and hang it on their wall.

    Believe it or not I've never tried a jump shot. I must try it when the opportunity arises.

  12. 39 huh? It's in the 40's here today. Thanks so much for pushing your cold down to Western PA. I used to love you...I'm rethinking that position right now...

    Not really....

  13. It's happy dial-up day and the photos from the two posts below this aren't loading, but I can comment on the wonderful words, which make me think about "looking at myself" too. Beautiful writing as always. I hope your "thoughts" don't get in too much trouble on their excursion! And as for the family in this series (all these came through), they are lovely! Bravo, my friend!

  14. Beth, these are wonderful photos. I really like the first one and the last one best, and the one with the girl jumping. They're all gorgeous and they are much better sports than I would be braving the cold. Very well done!

  15. This looks like a family that generates a good deal of inner warmth for one other ... and the photos reflect that so well

  20. Geez! That was a great jump. And, oh, Mom must be completely in love with that last photo. She's totally gorgeous and her daughters - so in love with their sweet Mommy.

  21. Hey now... how do you think you would get your creative juices flowing and capture such wonderfulness if YOU were cold? Of course you have to wear your coat and gloves etc.!

    I so get you though. I love outdoor shoots as well...I rarely do anything inside but I hate being always at the mercy of the weather!

    You guys did so well!
    xoxo
