The family pics were a big success! The weather was perfect, and all the little kids were in good moods for the most part. Here are a few of my favorites from the evening...
I'll show you the pics of Tricia, Gwyneth and I tomorrow!
That last picture is great! Did you think of all those poses/arrangements? Do you want to come down to Mexico and photograph 11 little ones? ;) Looks like you had a wonderful day again! Praying for you Tric! love, Jaynee
Those are SO great Nate!!! That is so difficult to do with so many people! I'm impressed! They are just so beautiful...all the pictures...and all the people! :)
These photographs are F A B U L O U S!!!!!! I have never seen such a unique layout for including everyone... but grouped as families. If this is YOUR idea Nate... patent it! ToOdLeS, ShEiLA
Enjoying seeing all the photos of you guys having fun as a family. Praising God for the blessings of you all being able to be together like this. You must be overjoyed! God's love and peace, Amy
Like I said Nathan, you not only know how to take a wonderful picture but you know how to take a picture that tells a story.... those beach pictures are SLAMIN' I love them all but the last one, the expressions of love, joy, happiness and a lil' suprize is so very sweet, someone needs to make a copy for each family in the pic and maybe a blow up for Mom & Pop K that picture is WONDERFUL - TOTALLY THE BOMB... HAPY ANIVERSARY TOMORROW TRICIA & NATHAN, AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SONNY TOO =) =) =) =) With Love & Prayers, Patricia N.
These photos are incredible... did you take them all and think of all the poses - if so - you have an amazing talent! Beautiful pictures that are truly a treasure! Was there a rhyme or reason to the colors that everyone had on in the photos?
Great pictures. What a good idea to have individual families & yet all in one on the beach. Thanks for the close up so we could get a better look after seeing everyone.
I was thinking some of the ice cream pictures were my favorite so far..and then..there is the one of the colorful beach chair against the sand/house...or the one of the eyes close up with the gorgeous sunkissed cheeks...BUT as much as I loved the others, todays family shots ...take it to even another level.
Beautiful family and neat pictures! Look forward to more pictures tomorrow. Greedy, aren't I? I'm the balloon lady tomorrow in a half marathon so I'll try to send you a crazy picture of that!
What an AWESOME idea to put the little family groups all in a row together - such a neat idea! Never saw that before, and would never have thought of that myself. Looks fantastic!
LOVE LOVE LOVE them! OMG - the moments are really captured! I love the last one too - especially b/c the way Tricia is holding Gwyneth was BOTH of my kid's favorite way to be held! Memories!!! ~Lynn/PA
What AWESOME pictures!!!!! So happy that you, Tricia and Gwyneth are having a wonderful 1st. Family Vacation. I'm jealous......wish I could be on vacation there also.
Nate WONDERFUL Pics of your family! And I know this is totally random but how do you watermark your photos like that! I too am a photographer of sorts. :) Feel free to email me. tishyrae@gmail.com
Wow! The top is my favorite. That is such a neat way to put the families. I use our tripod on the beach to take all of our family as well. It looked a little windy but the pics are great. Happy Anniversary (sp?)!
Nate, Those family pictures are great. I love the segregated group shots. What camera setting do you use to get that washed out look. I have seen it before and love it. Is it an editing technique?
I enlarged the last one and cracked up laughing when I saw Gwenyth. Everyone else is so happy and animated and she's like, "Eh, so what?" Great pictures as usual, Nate!
Nate and Tricia- I love the beach pictures and how each you had each family stand as a unit!! Terrific idea. You all look like you are having a wonderful time and I hope Tricia is feeling well. Enjoy the rest of your vacation/family time. Happy Anniversary too :-)
Happy Anniversary Tricia & Nate.You are a precious couple. May you have many more.Looks like you're having a great time with family. Thanks so much for sharing. Bonnie Washington, Mo.
The love for each other and the love for the Father is evident on the faces of everyone involved! They are amazing photographs! You should really start a side job of family portraits!
Love the pictures. So glad your girls are home to be in the pics. Did you use a timer and run into the pics. Also just curious if this is not to personal of a question is Tricia the only adopted child in her family or are some of the others adopted as well? Also tell us which ones are hr siblings. I know her two sisters that blog but the other families I am not sure if they are her brothers or sisters or in-laws?
AWWW...I love your family and your pictures, you are a natural...you guys are awesome...You looking for a sister?!?! LOL...Thanks for inspiring me to get on those family pictures finally :)~
I love all of the pictures of the family. I never saw one taken with groupings like the first few...and I LOVE that last one! What great memories! Aspiemom
What awesome pictures. The idea of the layouts are great...I'm trying not to be totally jealous that you can just slip over to the beach for your family picture.
What amazing pictures! I especially like the top two with the separate families lined up along the beach and the last one with everyone gathered around the grandparents (I assume) kissing. Great job! It looks like everyone is so happy. I hope all goes well with the chemo, I'll continue to pray for you!!!!

love the photos, especially the groups of families. Very cool. Happy Aniversary!
ReplyDeleteThese are GREAT pics!!!
ReplyDeleteJoining the herd to tell you how much I love these photos. Great idea for the family "units" to be distinct, rather than a behemoth group picture.
ReplyDeleteI also love how Gwyneth has her arms up in the first one. Almost like she's saying "Hooray"
You and Tricia must have felt so much pride and contentment to be able to stand there and pose for that picture.
what great ideas for family pictures. You have a real talent and its such fun to see what you post!
ReplyDeleteThose look awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. That must have been a lot of fun to pull off!! AHHHH, family......don't you just love it!!!
