Bagel Family Photo Shoot

We have the coolest ward family! A couple weeks ago, due to a forecast of low ocean swells and poor surfing conditions, our good friend Bob Hansen (who, incidentally, Soren and Anders adore) called us up and sacrificed what turned out to be, contrary to forecasts, prime hang ten time when he offered to take our family pictures on a coveted Saturday morning. We jumped at the chance and, despite belligerent children who had me wishing I could yell at the top of my lungs - "Whose kids are these? Could you come collect your ragamuffins?! We are trying to do a couples photo shoot here." - we still managed to walk away with some fantastic pictures courtesy of photographer extraordinaire, BH. These pictures totally and completely represent the distinct personalities in our little family. You will notice that Soren is always with Daddy and Anders is always with Mommy. Soren is never anywhere near the water and Anders is constantly charging into the ocean like a football player charging at a quarterback for the sack. One of my favorites is the picture of the two boys on the rock where Soren is clinging to Anders and Anders is screaming in protest. It's so them.

After our photo shoot, Bob just handed me the compact flash card and basically told me to knock myself out. So, of course, I did. These are all his shots and my post-processing. Well, enough of this yakkity yak. You're probably eager to see the results, so, without further adieu, I give you my family....
