then and now

a few years ago, i put together a series of grand kid photos for my mom and dad for christmas. i had a lot of fun shooting those gorgeous faces and in my favorite style, super tight, close up and simple.

they were a huge hit, mom and dad loved them.

since then, the kids have grown up quite a bit and a new baby was born, so it was time, this year, to update the wall. as i was going through and editing the shoot, i was surprised by how much everyone changed!

i thought it would be fun to document the difference just a few short years makes...

baby cole - because he was kind of cranky when we shot these photos.

i'm going to have to catch him next time.

i was also surprised by how much my skills had improved, i am almost embarrassed to post some of these old photos, there's so much i want to change about them! i guess the kids aren't the only things that are a little different a few years later.
