Ok, these are seriously good pictures girl! I love the white back drop and the way you tied in the peach color of your headband with B's shirt and Sam's tie (now I'm really noticing :)
#'s 1911 and 1912 are my favorites - I've been thinking about them a lot!

Seriously girl, you amaze me. Your photography skills are growing all the time! Love the new look and new family photos and how you tied everyone's look all together. Bennett is looking more boyish now (and less babyish!) So happy to see him growing and developing. Hope we can catch up soon.
