No, that is not a child model I hired to beautify my portfolio.. that’s my niece 😉 I know I’m biased and all but sheesh… My sister and I get a real kick out of what a bunch of bumps she makes the rest of us look like! ha! Seriously though, I always look forward to taking these snaps for their annual Christmas card. I LOVE taking them and I love editing them all the while sending screenshots to my sister of all the horrible outtakes 😉 And I can never wait to see which ones make the cut on the highly anticipated Shepherd Christmas card.
The sole purpose of this little get together began as getting the pics in. Then it turned out to be such a beautiful day that we decided to make it a family afternoon at Botanic Gardens. And since I had my camera and we were all together I had to snap a few cousin shots (seeing as how last time we attempted that my other niece literally screamed the entire time :P). Although we went through a little rough patch a few months ago when all the ‘older’ cousins would constantly bicker when together, I am pleased to say that is seemingly behind us. We all just went to Disney together and they all could not have gotten along better. Not to get all sappy but seeing them all together, enjoying each other, laughing, being goofy and asking about each other the minute they’re separated is.. well, I don’t even have words. They love each other like siblings and that’s more than I ever could have asked for. I have so much love for these five little people…
