Family photos by Elizabeth Rose Photography (Part One)

I've been trying to upload photos off and on for nearly an hour but after I uploaded these five, everytime I try to do more, I get an error message. Erg. So, before I toss my laptop off the deck, I've convinced myself to just try again tomorrow.

Anyway.

My dear friend, Erika (check her out--elizabethrosephoto.blogspot.com) took family photos for us a couple weekends ago. I love the pictures and cherish them with every ounce of me. I've been wanting to get them taken for a long time and can't believe it took over two years to do it. I can't wait to get some printed and into picture frames. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Erika for taking them for us!

Hopefully Blogger loves me tomorrow and will allow me to upload more.
Erika included this blooper. It cracks me up because it pretty much sums up what most of the shoot was like. Dean and I were there to smile for pictures but Ayla had her own agenda. There are lots like this...I'll post more just so you all can see what poor Erika had to work with (and because they make me laugh). I apologized to her ahead of time for what would potentially be a crazy hour with us, but she happily snapped away with her camera, worked her magic, and captured some wonderful shots.
