Family Photos

Shown below are some of the photos which were taken during our photo session a few weeks ago. We think our photographer did an exceptional job. If you'd like to look her up, her website is http://www.oneswiftclick.com/

These were the first pictures we took. Shown front to back: Ella, Joel, and Grace.


Here is another angle of the same. Ella on the left, Joel in the middle, and Gracie on the right.


This photo was Ginger's idea. The flowers were simply carefully placed on the girls' heads, and the butterfly was taped to Baby B's nose. Grace is on the left and Ella is on the right. Prior to their arrival, we chose colors for each baby; these are reflected here:

Grace = YELLOW
Joel = GREEN
Ella = PURPLE

Here is Jade--the proud father--with his little ones. Joel is making his "old man face" in this picture. Like Jade, Joel (at least for now) has a very high hairline. One of our friends (Alais) was over and took to calling Joel "Benjamin Button" :o)







Here is our favorite family photo from the session. When we go back for photos next year, at least our children will be able to sit up unsupported!

These blankets were given to the babies from our good friends Stormi and Drew. The blankets were made in Hawaii! Grace is on the left, Joel in the middle, and Ella on the right.

Here is Joel making a funny face for the camera.


In order to get any pictures of Grace with her NOT crying, we had to resort to keeping a pacifier in her mouth until moments before the picture was taken. Here, you can see how her mouth is still shaped as if she had her nuk.


And finally our Ella Bug. She actually fell asleep while hanging!



Jade told the babies that we were getting them ready for the stork to pick them up. He was of course joking, because we would never return our little ones!

Special kudos to Ginger for pushing to have this photo done, and for Jessica for making it happen!
