Tryg & Co.

Erik, Mindy and Tryg met up with me for some holiday family photos. Look at this adorable new family!



And Tryg was so smiley, he made it easy to capture his personality. He was always searching out his parents smiles - which were infectious for him.





Such cute little feet.



I love this father-son moment.



And peacefully sleeping with mom.

Taylor and Jenn managed to pose for coat-free photos in 15 degree weather and still smile--all the while, looking great. Thanks guys!

Katie + Chris

My cousin, Katie, brought her fiance home for Thanksgiving (she lives WAY too far away--in Houston--right now). He got to meet the family in a nice, quiet dinner of 27 crowded around Grandma's table. The poor boy. But, Chris not only survived, he seemed to enjoy himself and impress the crowd to boot. I know he impressed me. I got to take the Texan couple out into the 15 degree weather for some photos and test this boy's tolerance for Wisconsin winters. It's possible that Chris's smile was simply frozen on his face, but he toughed it out while Katie acted like it was nothing (though we later found out she had added layers of long underwear and undershirts--unbeknownst to Chris). Anyway, check out this happy couple:












Mostly, I noticed that they like to laugh together (a lot), which made it not only enjoyable for me, but seemed a clear sign that they are right where they should be. Here's to laughter for years to come.
