Photo Shoots

Ok, ok, so I know that my last post was about Kim, Megan and Henry and I should post something different, but these pictures are just too great to pass up.

Kim and I decided we wanted to test our photography skills after a slightly disappointing session at Kiddie Kandids (disclaimer: some of the pictures turned out, but Kim was unimpressed with the "photographer's" lack of creativity). If you know Kim, you know that she is on the eternal quest to capture the perfect picture; so we set off on our own, armed only with my "point and shoot" digital camera. Here is what we came up with, Enjoy.

Kim's photo shoot of Henry:
I just have to throw in a few pictures of Megan as our set director. Please take note of the footy pj's and her aunt Chelsey's shoes. Megan is very professional and takes her job seriously.
She was such a helper and would put the towel down right where we needed it...



This was my photo shoot of Megan's first attempt at skiing. She is a true Frost; she was super excited and loved every minute of it. (actually, if she were really a true Frost she would have hated and dreaded the first few years of skiing. She would have only be able to focus on the traumatic experiences such as cold fingers, scary lift rides, and the extremely steep and terrifying bunny hill. Lucky for us, she's a fan right off the bat)




This picture, although not part of any of our "shoots", was too funny to not post. Kim was convinced that he would be cold, so she stuck these ear-muffs on Henry and he was good enough to oblige. Good thing he's so easy-going.





This was my photo shoot of Henry



And who doesn't feel like streaking after a long day on the slopes? Those ear-muffs definitely made their rounds...


I feel a little inappropriate ending my post with blurry nudity, so instead I'll stick my 7 month profile picture on here.
The End

Crystal you look fabulous! Look at your little legs! I love those pictures, looks like so much fun, photo shoots are always so much fun. I love the ear muffs, hysterical! What cute kids, I want to squoosh those chubby cheeks.

Maria said...

What a couple of cuties!

You look so gorgeous! You have the perfect pregnancy glow!

April said...

You guys could put Kiddie Candids out of business. They turned out great. I might need to call you and book my next family photo shoot. Speaking of great...you look fantastic. See what I mean though? Such a good pregnancy pic, I just have so much to live up to, and I just don't think I'll ever look as great as you do. I was looking at your pregnancy timer...6 WEEKS!!! Oh my gosh, that is way soon!

You are really on the countdown now! Those are great pictures, and some cute kiddos. Good luck this last month! You look amazing.

Erin said...

I was going to tell you how good you look but everyone else already has, so never mind ;). Aw, my pretty Crystal friend.

Monica said...

Your picures are great! I need to work on my photography skills!

You are looking so great Crystal! I can't wait to see you at convention. I will probably only make it on Friday-working on Thurs. We'll have to get in touch soon!

Lonna said...

Excellent work on the impromptu photo shoots, I think that you have got some skills in that area for sure. You know that the whole figure out the camera and settings game must run in the family, I remember when Mike was all about testing out the settings and lighting features for his camera. I am sure that is doing him a lot of good now.

I love that you were able to catch Henry playing in the snow, so cute, and Megan is surely making her parents so proud in taking up the skiing torch too.

I see that you are down to less than two months and you are looking so beautiful. I think that the next time I decide to have a baby I am going to come straight to you for some advice and help. You are probably the envy of all other pregnant women around you. How is the name search going? I hope that you are at least narrowing it down to a couple. Good luck with that.

Becca said...

Crystal-
You really do look amazing! I am so jealous you are really documenting your pregnancy with pictures- I didn't and I am so sad about. It's crazy how you forget what youlookedlike, how you felt when you are not pregnant!

hoLLY said...

you did so good on your photo shoot. I love just ding it myself then you get what you want instead of paying a bunch of $ on just ok photos! they look fab! and its a secret passion of mine!

btw- you look great!!

Melissa said...

Those earmuffs on Henry!!! TOO CUTE! After seeing how cute he is...I'm liking Henry even more!!! Cute kids!

You look so good in your pictures. ANything new with the nursery? You better post pictures or bring some pictures when I see ya next week. YAY!

Erin said...

I've seen your ginger bread house so don't go telling me you don't have a creative side ;). BUT, I will accept that you are hormonal and feeling very uncharitable, so in spite of you not wanting to make anything for anyone else (and I just remembered you made apple butter, who makes apple butter and doesn't have creative drive?) I will still make you something... another something, just because I love you so much. (Honestly, I was really excited the first time I read the post and then I read the "catch" part and my excitement waned, so I know how you feel, and if it weren't for this awesome book I got then I wouldn't have any idea of what to do and would have just forgotten the whole thing.) I'm still excited to make your thing, I'm going to get the stuff for it today, whoopee! (and if you noticed the post about Florida being deleted, it's because LeRand got paranoid about not officially having the job yet and jumping the gun a bit, and about announcing to literally the entire world where he'll be working, sooo, ya)
