It was so hard to choose my favorites from this day, but here they are! Mark and Laicie did such an incredible job of capturing our day in DC. For more details about the photo shoot, see the first post.
Ok, I am so excited to be sharing these photos with you all! It has been a dream of mine for a long time now to have professional photos taken of our little family, and I cannot imagine a more perfect pair of photographers for the job than Mark and Laicie (check them out, they also grow beards, bake pies, and blog over at A Thousand Threads). The whole thing was just the way I like it: spontaneous and out of the blue....Mark and Laicie were hired by Hilton Hotels to do a photo shoot for promotional materials, and the family they had planned on using as models couldn't make it at the last minute. Thanks to Instagram and A Daily Something, I found out about the opportunity and we volunteered to stay in DC for a couple of nights at a Hilton hotel as their stand-in models.
We had a blast staying at a fancy hotel, eating made-to-order breakfasts five times so they could get the perfect shot, riding the hotel escalators even more times, swimming in the pool, late night shopping (there was a shopping mall attached to the hotel) and then traipsing around DC. We also realized that the whole photo shoot thing can be E X H A U S T I N G. The boys were little troopers though, and as Ben and I looked through these photos last night, we agreed that it was worth every ounce of energy. I love the fact that it was so last minute, because it didn't even give me the chance to over-think anything. We just showed up as we were, and had fun :) These are the pictures that were taken in our hotel room, go here for pictures of our day in DC! |
