The U Family

I took some pictures of our friends Emily, Ross, and their little boy Simon last week. It was a little tricky because I had my kids with me, so I strapped Charlie onto my back and Eli ran around, sometimes distracting Simon and other times making him laugh. I realized that it’s very hard to be perfectly still to take pictures when you have a 9-month-old attached to you :)

I like this one – they look very sophisticated with the lighthouse and old house in the background :)

I love the next two pictures of Simon. He had fun running around in the grass – he’s fast though, so I felt lucky to catch a few of him looking in my direction :)

Simon was about five seconds from jumping off the log when I took this picture:

It’s tricky taking pictures as the sun is setting because the light changes so fast… I used my external flash on the picture above, but not on the one below. Crazy how dark it is by 4:30 p.m. at this time of year (we started around 3:30, when it was much brighter)!

Thanks Emily and Ross – you were great!
