family photoshoot

 last weekend, we had family photos taken for the first time.  my friend, amanda jones, is an amazing photographer whose skill is just phenomenal.  i wanted to share these with you...some have already been seen on facebook but others are new.  if you are in the houston area, you should definitely look into having her take your family shots or child's photos.  if you don't live in houston, it would totally be worth bringing her to you, but that's just my opinion :).  she said turn-around for the fully-edited CD of prints would take about ten days, which i was totally fine with.  they arrived less than a week after we took them.  awesome!  i ordered a 16x20 photo canvas of one of the shots that i bought with a groupon-type deal (there is currently a new deal on savemore.com for a 18x24 canvas print for $38!), and i cannot wait for it to come in and go over our fireplace.  also, some of these or others yet to be seen might be showing up on our Christmas cards!
