While in Utah, Aunt Sarah was generous enough to do a family photo shoot for us at the awesome photo studio in Salt Lake she’s able to access. Our timing was off since Meredith was awake for the drive up to Salt Lake and, hence, was tired out pretty quickly during the actual shoot, but Aunt Sarah worked her magic and captured some photo gold!

Lady Amelia.

Goofball Samantha.

Samantha with her hero.

There were more silly faces from Samantha than genuine smiles but oh well.

Amelia with Daddy and then Mommy.

The twins unscripted.

I’m ready for my close up!

I could just squeeze that chunk!

Flying!

Peekaboo.

Meredith was so confused… what is all the noise going on behind me?

Watch out! The twins are coming!

Smooch.

I love me some fur blanket.

Attempting to be lady-like.

Lots of misplaced accessories during the shoot.

More goofing off. 

Tea party time!

Samantha had waited all morning for this cookie.

Where’s MY food?

Sharing their tea and cookies with little sis.

At this point, Meredith was utterly exhausted, and she took a cat nap on the nice blanket while we continued.

It’s amazing she slept with all the chaos!

The studio had some Frank Sinatra and Michael Buble playing the whole time, so we danced while Meredith lounged in the background.

Moment of reflection. Thanks to Grammy and Aunt Sarah for thinking to bring the chair from home, as well as the tea party set-up and pictures of Great Grandma Darlene and family. It made for a cute vintage look!

And more silliness from Samantha.

The Thinker Amelia.

It was fun to have so many different areas to shoot in at the studio, as well as bubbles, flower petals and other props for the girls to use.

Flashback to Aunt Sarah’s wedding!

Dazed and confused, but finally awake.

What did I miss, guys?

Meredith wasn’t quite sitting up on her own yet, so Aunt Sarah had to snap the pictures quickly. Timber!

Our family, July 2016.

Thank you, Aunt Sarah and the Photo Collective, for letting us invade the studio and for capturing the craziness that is our family in fantastic detail!

Lots of love,
