Family Photos

While we were in Idaho this summer visiting family, we took the opportunity to have family photos taken. There is an old saying, "The cobbler's children go without shoes". This has been true for us with photography. When you're a photographer, it's tough to be in family photos because you're the one who is always behind the camera. For those of you who haven't seen Kevin's work, check it out here.

So I was excited for our photo session with Caralee Case, a friend from high school. She did an amazing job, and if you're in South East Idaho, lucky you!

Our kids were really tired because our session was scheduled at their normal bedtime...darn natural light and summer nights. Anyway, they were a little on the grumpy side, but after lots of bribery and sugar, they did come around a little. Caralee was able to get some great shots regardless...check them out - Now I just need to decide which one to frame....

Beautiful pictures--but the subjects are such that they would be even if the kids were crying! I love it that you are back and can explore Europe even more!

Hey Marnie!

It's so fun to catch up with your family. These photos are awesome. You guys are ALL beautiful! Thanks for the e-mail a few weeks ago updating us on the move and everything. Sounds like you've had a great summer. I'm so happy you got off-base housing!

Can't wait to see more pics from the Parker family adventures! I guess since John will never take me to live abroad, I can live vicariously through you guys :) Take care!

Love,
Jess

Love the photos! I love the green in the background! And you're looking great by the way! You had quite a different physique last I saw you! (heehee)

those are just beautiful. I am desperate to find a photographer here...we have never had pro pictures taken! I feel awful! But it's hard to find someone that is good and doesn't cost a million dollars! I wish you guys lived in Seattle (well, I wish we lived in Germany actually!)
