Siblings

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous these last few days. I just wish Fall could stick around a little bit longer than it normally does. Just a small wish. :) We had an impromptu photo shoot outside the other day. They were being so cute. They kill me. Olivia loves to crawl around in the grass. Walker was not a fan of grass for a long time. If I sat him down in the grass he'd stay in that one place the whole time. He was never one to crawl around in that green stuff. Olivia is quite the opposite. I can't keep her on the blanket. She just scoots around everywhere. It was actually grass that convinced her that crawling on all fours was better than army crawling. So now she does both. It's just the cutest thing. Also, Walker is not too fond of the sun either. He was having a hard time lying in the grass, looking up at the sun for one of the shots. I really was asking too much of him. But I persuaded him to do it with a sucker. I'm not above bribery. :) Hence the photo with his homemade sunglasses, his hands.

So, do you feel like coming to AZ to take some photos of Elsie? Summer is over so it is actually a perfect time to come. These turned out fantastic, I agree with Ange, that one of them together is my favorite!

what great photos! i have to laugh about walker and the sun. maybe it is a redhead thing... i feel the same way. i have to ask, do you use an action for your black and white conversion? i've been trying to find a good one.

just one more thing... I've been meaning to ask, what program do you use to blog? is it live writer? I just got a new computer and I think I need to download a program so I can do photos like yours, instead of just the in-line type blogger offers. thanks!

Great pics Jamie! They're both just adorable. I'm so SOOO bummed that we missed hanging out with all of you while you were here. Next time...I'll just have to keep telling myself that. ( :
