I LOVE my family!!!

I also LOVE that picture day is FiNaLlY over!!!

My awesome friend, Amy, and I swapped family photos...

Today was finally our day to do it...but it almost wasn't.

Remember how windy today was...

Well, this was already a rescheduled day due to weather and we were gonna try tomorrow...but we decided to just get it over with.

I am glad we did.

Family pictures are exhausting...and it doesn't just start on the day of pictures.

I think I put way too much time and stress into these outfits.

I wanted them to be fun, but a little funky, but also show the individual personalities...oh and did I mention that I didn't want to spend much money doing it!

Well, these are the outfits I came up with.

I will start with Madi.

Her undershirt is one of mine...just pinned in the back.

Her over shirt was also one of mine, cut and sewn to fit her just right...and a belt I made for her to bring in the dark blue.

I think it portrays Madi's proper-ness, and perfection-ism.

Cassi's red top used to be a dress, but I saw this Levi skirt at a second hand store and thought it was SO CASSI!

So I cut the dress to show the skirt. I know...I am weird.

I just came across the socks and also thought they were SO CASSI...so I had to get them...and they helped bring the turquoise color to her outfit.

Then I made some little flowers to put on her dress to help them tie in together.

I think it portrays Cassi's cRaZiNeSs!

Elsie is wearing a sweater dress that was mine...just never looked good on me and I knew the color would be beautiful on Elsie...so I cut and sewed...cut more and sewed more...until is was just right.

I also made a cute flower pin for her dress the help bring in the red.

I think the outfit shows Elsie's sweetness and her love-ability!

Lucky for Porter and Brent, boys clothes are nearly as fun to modify...so they are pretty plain...but pretty good looking if you ask me!

My dress and boots are borrowed from my friend Jenni...(every professional picture I have had taken in the last few years...I have worn clothes from Jenni)

The striped top is a dress I found at another second hand store...half off, yippee!

So I cut it right down the middle to make it a little jacket.

I know...crazy me again.

But that is why the outfit matches me...I am crazy!

I Took my camera so Amy could take a few shots so I could post one tonight!

I am so excited to see how the others turned out!!!!!

Thanks Amy SO MUCH for doing this for us!
