Photography Galore!

For people who follow my blog, you know that I've been working on my photography skills. But I know I'm nowhere as good as a professional photographer, and my husband and I haven't been in many pictures together since we got married! So we hired professional photographer Christi Nelson to take some family photos this week. She spent some time with our family, running through the leaves, woods and park in our neighborhood. Although Anna stole the show with her Hannah Montana impressions... and Natalia turned away from the camera in shyness... and I smiled through some gritted teeth (and I think Anna whacked Brad in the back one time) ... I'm confident that Christi got some great shots!

Formerly Impressions Studio LLC, she's changed her name to Rawsii {Smashing Fabulous}, and she's got a great contest on her blog now for a wedding photography giveaway valued at $4200, which includes her travel and lodging anywhere in the continental U.S. If you know of ANYONE who's engaged and planning a wedding in 2010, you have to nominate them for this contest!

Enjoy the photos I took below of Natalia eating her first chocolate cupcake. She's our allergy-baby: no milk, egg, soy, or nut, so the cupcake is free of those allergens, and she had a blast!
