the Simpson Family

Where do I begin? Natalie is one of my close friends from college - we studied photography together. It's funny because we have similar facial features, blonde hair, and thick-rimmed glasses and people would and still get us mixed up ALL THE TIME. We seriously could be sisters. We have kept in touch over the years, helping each other out as we both grow our businesses.

I felt honored that she asked me to take her family pictures this year! I mean, last year she had Jon Canlas (another one of our friends from school) do it and he is AMAZING.

I had big shoes to fill.

Crew and Raleigh are so much fun! Crew is hilarious in front of the camera. He loves to make goofy faces and jump up and down. Raleigh, on the other hand, doesn't like having his picture taken -- he likes to be the one taking them, the same as his mom. He has his own 'camera' (a pair of binoculars) that we had to bring out to make him happy.

There were so many fun photos of them, it was seriously super hard for me to narrow them down for the blog. CLICK HERE to watch their SLIDESHOW! (And, Crew, this song is for you since I know you like the movie Ice Age)
