for carlee...

i love pictures. to me they really capture something special, like having a tangible memory you can take with you. so i was happy the day i realized that i could have "family" pictures taken even before there were kids in the mix. every few years i try to have us sit for professional quality pictures and about two months ago we did just that. joe, ever so graciously, donated 3 hours of his life, where he completely turned himself over to me and my pictures. he wore what i told him to, and allowed himself to be primped and posed, all this with a smile on his face (oh the give and take that makes a relationship work - thank you babe, it really means a lot:)). libby jones was our photographer, she is the wife of a guy that went to joe's school, she made the shoot fun and relaxing and took amazing pictures! you can see more of her work at libbyjonesphotography.com. here are some of the pictures.















bye for now.
