I've been dying to see these!

I've been admiring the work of Sara B Photography for a very long time (and Sara B as a person since high school :), she is positively incredible in every way, but we've never lived close enough to her to get her to take our pictures. So, when we found out she moved to Utah and our entire extended family would be in Utah at the same time this summer, we decided to have a little photo shoot with her for a surprise birthday present for my mom.

The photos turned out just as great as I dreamed they would be...even with 5 crazy boys, 3 pregnant ladies (note to self, no more family pictures at 7 months pregs), and one grumpy Ellie. Sara really is magic. Here are a few (or a lot) of my favorites. Wish I could post them all. Enjoy!



















Oh, and one quick update. All is good with baby boy. Still looking for a name. We're back in Michigan and I'm back to blogging (and checking all your blogs too!) It was a fantastic, crazy summer with lots of fun posts to catch up on before school starts!

I love it! She really is so talented. I am dying laughing at Katie's little girl's Sonic drink! So classic!!!

Wow...I LOVE those. Honestly, it doesn't matter if you are seven months pregnant, you have the most beautiful smile so no one even looks at the belly! The colors are awesome, all the ladies look gorgeous (which is the most important thing!) and Mike looks more and more distinguished with the salt and peppa hair! I think my favorite might be the one with all the grandsons on the grass, but there are so many great ones. Thanks for sharing!
