Photos of The Family- Super Hero Style

In my last post I talked about how great and creative my friend Miriam is, and today you'll see another reason I love her.

We were scheduled to take pictures the 2nd week of October. (I book the same week every single year. Like clockwork.) I got a text a few days before asking if I happened to have the kids Halloween costumes yet. (which made me laugh because, yes. Of course I did. My children pick what they want to be in July. They are earlybirds in virtually every sense of the word.)

So Miriam asked that I bring them along...maybe get a few quick shots. And oh my did my kids have fun with this!

Jay had the best time running around like he was Flash. Lizzy really got into her tough girl role as Wonder Woman.

I'm so glad we have these pictures! I never would have thought to use our photo time (we're always hoping for the Christmas Card pic!) to document the kids Halloween costumes. Now we've captured these awesome memories of the fun they had that evening really portraying their character for the camera.

 I love the idea of a Halloween photo shoot, but more than that I love how simple this was and how it all came together!

Again the lovely and talented Images by Naomi gets all of the credit for shooting these awesome photos.

Get ready to get comfy and catch a glimpse of living life with Jay and Lizzy.

Every year we have the kid's photos taken by my favorite photographer friend.

She's amazing and talented and quite a trooper. She was at the hospital when Jay was just hours old, and she's documented the growth (in size and personality) of my two kiddos ever since. I am so grateful that our paths crossed. If you're in Alabama or Tennessee and want to talk with her about photos--visit her website here-- (you'll recognize some darling kids featured on her website, but I don't receive anything for saying any of this).

Now for this year's pics.

I took the kids to Tuscaloosa one fall afternoon we spent some time at CHOM, snacked on some tacos then met Miriam to start pictures.

We ended this part of the day on a high note...laughing and tickling our way around one block of downtown Tuscaloosa. We had the best time! Tomorrow I'll show you the fun idea Miriam had (I just adore creative, talented people!!) and the second half of our photos.

All photos were taken by Images by Naomi and are owned by me. While I think these kids are adorable, you can't use these pics without my permission. (Legal internet jargon to keep us from turning into unpaid spokespeople. Haha!)
