Number ONE:
“This is my favorite picture because Ethan looks like a model for Children’s Place (or Levi’s for that matter). This picture makes him look all grown up and smoooooth – which he really is not. (I’ve never met a clumsier kid). In reality, he was being a little stinker – trying to get away from all the attention. He wasn’t walking on his own at this point but you’d never know looking at this picture. Dawn you did an amazing job with taking this picture. It’s definitely going in his scrapbook (or hanging on my wall forever)!”
Number TWO:
“I love how you captured the complete adoration they had for their new baby brother. It’s awesome how they’re all helping to hold him, and Jocelyn has her finger in his hand. I’m really happy with our large canvas of this picture.”
Number THREE:
“This is my favorite picture because the background looks great with my outfit and eye colour. I love the way I am posing and smiling. It the true me. One of my dream jobs is modeling. This picture shows that in it. I am very relaxed. I love this photo so much. Thanks for taking it of me!”
Number FOUR:
“I chose this photo because it tells me a lot of different things about who my girls really are. The first thing, how Katelyn is always trying to be the big sister to Paige and make sure Paige is ok (well at least most of the time). Katelyn is holding Paige because the stool is small and since Katelyn is the big sister she made sure Paige did not fall. Second is Paige is in the stage of her life where she likes to do the game, “How big is Paige?” then she always raises her arms and we go ” SO BIG” , that reminds me of the many stages of growing up. The final thing that I love about this picture is it shows how their eyes are so different. The blue eyes on Paige and the brown eyes on Katelyn is usually the first thing I hear when someone looks at this picture. To me it says how they look different in so many ways but the matching shirt represents how they are still sisters and have also so many things that are in common!”
Number FIVE:
“This is my favorite because it’s pretty cool that we could both (my sister and I) be pregnant at the same time, and be able to capture it on (digital) film.”
Number SIX:
“I have had ssoooooo many compliments this picture I had it printed on a large canvas…you can only see there backs and in black and white is the best
”
Number Seven:
“You captured Nates personality 100% in that photo. It is on display at my house and at my work!”
