i don’t know who was more delighted about the weather on sunday, me or this little guy?

ok, maybe he wins! i had a great time hanging out with these seriously handsome brothers though!
thanks so much “b” family! i love our yearly “get-togethers”!
my mother-in-law (also known as grammy) is an avid pazy’s portraits blog reader. i’m pretty sure there is nobody as excited when i put pictures of my boys on the blog. i did these pictures about a month ago, but decided to wait until her birthday to put them up! i thought it would be a little surprise for her at work. so, happy birthday, grammy! we love you!

i love this simplicity of this session in my studio. the white backdrop and white couch really lets the kids personalities stand out. contact me if would like to book a “simple studio session” for your kids/grandkids/family!
i promised i’d put together an outfit for a senior guy. i love the laid back, but still put-together, look going on here. notice there is no writing on the shirt (something i always suggest avoiding).

next i’ll try something a little dressier for the guys!
here’s another outfit suggestion for a senior girl. i love the yellow with the pops of blue!

i will admit it, i use to be one of those people that think an 8×10 is HUGE! i couldn’t imagine wanting to hang anything bigger than that on my walls. then two things happened that changed my mind:
1. i became a mom and realized that i have no problem seeing larger than life size images of my babies on my walls.
2. i saw for myself how much better larger prints really look!
still not convinced? let me show you. this was my very own (not some model) fireplace some time ago.

those are three 8×10’s with two 5x5s in between. they don’t look bad, but i wouldn’t say they look spectacular either. in fact, sitting on the couch across the room, the display almost just blends in.
now this is how my fireplace currently looks:

a little more impressive, right? this is three 16x20s and one 24×20 gallery wrapped canvas. everyone that enters my house comments on this display. i never got any comments on the old display (and i don’t think it is just because my boys keep getting cuter and cuter either;)!
i guess this just goes to show that bigger really is better!
Grammy - What a wonderful surprise! These boys are the best present I could ever hope for. I love you all too!
jaime - OH MY GOODNESS Sarah!! They are sooo cute! Sam’s little teeth are adorable too. haha. My favourite pic has to be the second to last one. They are certainly handsome boys 🙂
