Oh, Ralphie. You never stop blowing my mind with your amazing-ness.
We went a little more dressy this time since our last round of photos with Ralphie in 2009 was much more casual. Also, we happened to schedule for a moment where I owned exactly no jeans that I liked. That may have had something to do with the fact that I made Bart iron a shirt on a Saturday morning.
And yes, it really was this beautiful in late March in Texas. And the fog is all real – it was like having a photo shoot in Wuthering Heights (if Wuthering Heights involved a whole lot of yellow flowers and a happy family, instead of people who show their love by hating each other for an entire lifetime. So basically not like Wuthering Heights at all, actually, now that I come to think of it).
When Ella saw this picture, she said, “I cry wif Dadda” |

I LOVE these photos! I especially like the ones of you guys in the grass, reading. How quaint. 🙂 Every once in a while I think that I want to do family photos, but then I remember it's still just me and my husband and that would be pretty much exactly the same as our engagement photos lol. Someday . . .
Erica says
could you be a more beautiful family?!?! seriously, you are all so gorgeous! except for bart, he's a very manly handsome (unless he doesn't mind be called gorgeous and then he's gorgeous, too). and that picture of ella exclaiming over the flower! my ovaries! they burst!
Rachel says
Cute, cute pictures! What a lovely family
Merrick says
I know I already told you, but these are so gorgeous. Ralphie is amazing. I need her to live by me.
Lisa says
OH! so terrific! If I had to pick favorites I'd go with the first black and white (her eyes!!), the ring around the rosie one, and the one where he's picking you up.
Which reminds me, still waiting on a book list…

Oh my gosh. I think I just died a little bit. The photos are amazing! I especially love the close-ups of sweet Ella's face and the B&W of the three of you reading. They are all just perfect!

Emily Kate says
I was up at 3 AM this morning with my monthly back injury and I read this while I was up. It was breathtaking! Ralphie did such a fantastic job capturing your sweet family and could Ella be any more darling? Seriously, I'm smitten. I made a point of leaving this post unread in my reader so I could get back to it today and leave a comment.
Cami and Juan says

1. I've wanted Ralphie (whom I don't ah…know) to be my family photographer for at least two years now. This is thanks to you, if you hadn't yet figured this out. 2. These photos are gorgeous. 3. You are all a bit too cute, I want to pinch the screen. 4. "Julie Beck" has commented above me…uh… 😛
Bethany says
Stop it, just stop it. These are STUNNING. Ralphie is a genius.
