PHOTO SHOOT-TWICE AS GOOD!

I asked a friend to take my babies' six month pictures. She laughed at me and asked why I couldn't take them myself. I told her that I couldn't handle outfits, location, lighting, and 2 babies all at the same time. Being the wonderful friend that she is, she agreed but didn't seem convinced I needed her. Well, after a 4 hour-literally- photo shoot later, I think she believes me now. It was wonderful to have her worry about angles and lighting while I became, as they call it in Hollywood, a baby wrangler and tried to keep Wesley from falling out of a chair,Will from crying, and acting like a general nut to get smiles!

I have obviously left this gifted pgotographer and sweet friend unnamed becaue frankly, I want to keep her all to myself :) After you see the following gorgeous pictures you'll understand why!

So, get comfortable because I believe I have set a blogspot record for number of photos, but this is as far as I could narrow the hundreds she took down! Feel free to leave a comment about which ones are your favorites because I need help deciding which ones to get printed!

#1: Of course, we had to check the lighting on someone first and you know my little model readily agreed! #2: Will was looking so cute we shot him in his pj's before I could even change him!

#3: The happiest of all my children, Wes the Mess.

#4

#5: A somber moment. What could he be thinking? So beautiful!

#6: It is REALLY hard to get 2 7 month olds to sit up close to one another and smile at the same time, REALLY hard!

#7: I love Wesley's foot in the corner.

#8

#9: I don't know if you can truly see the beauty of his eyes, but WOW!

#10

#11: Don't let the beautiful pictures fool you, Will lived up to his nickname of Will the Pill by not wanting to smile. This picture is vintage Will.

#12: I was so excited to see that this picture showed his little bitty tooth. It just poked through last week, and I have been trying to get a picture.

#13

#14: The pictures in this chair are extra precious because this was my chair when I was a little girl.

#18: Look at him studying his hands. He's going to be my thinker.

#23: What's the verdict, do we look anything alike?

#24: How about this one?

#25: Another one with the beautiful blue eyes!

#26: I love his stinky, little feet!

#27

#28 Unfortunately, Wesley konked out before we could get pictures of them in these darling casual outfits, but I like the sleeping pic too!

#29: Will was working the hat, just one of MANY, MANY being his father's son.

#30: He's such a high maintenance stinker, but I love him to pieces!#31: I saved the best for last:
When we saw this we laughed so hard an unnamed little girl literally wet her pants at the kitchen table (I'm so glad she can't read that I shared that!).

I wish it was bigger because it looks like Will is letting it all out and Wesley is looking at him like he's a maniac!

#32: Wesley pats him on the back to tell him it's going to be ok. And that, for those of you who hung through ALL these photos, clearly show my 2 boys' personalites!! Perfect finish!!!!
