Photo shoot!

I recently had the pleasure of meeting the fabulous Cherie-Lynn, (@CLBuchananphoto on Twitter, in case you're not following her!)an amazing photographer. She came to my house to take some professional family pictures. I've been tweeting with Cherie-Lynn for a while, and it was so nice to finally meet her in person.

My boys loved her from the second they met her! She was great with Christos and Dimitry, and I wanted to hire her right then and there to move in with me.

I was scared that Christos would be shy, or would run away, but his smiles were big as soon as he saw her. Same with Dimitry. She is a fabulous photographer, and I can't wait to work with her again.

We had a lot of fun and I was so happy with the pictures! Here are just a few of the great shots she captured that day...

Isn't she great?

I love the one of me in the park with Dimitry in my arms and Christos on his bike. I think that picture would be a really cool blog header... and I could change my blog name to, like, "Loulou in Suburbia" or "Loulou's park tales" or something!

Hey Loukia, I had so much fun hanging out with your family, the boys are awesome. I love the one of you and the boys as well. Thanks again for having me into your home and for the kind words.

I already commenting on Cherie-Lynn's site, but will here too. These are great. I agree that the pic at the park would make a great new header. Maybe with a cool black/white/grey color scheme... whit a bit of pink of course. ;)

Blog design is actually really easy. You should give it a try. Let me know if you want some pointers.

Thanks, everyone!

Oh, Amy... you would hate me after a few minutes of trying to teach me blog design... I would completely frustrate you. You'd quit and then blog about how hard it was to try to teach me! ;) Thanks for the offer, though.

I agree the park would make an awesome header - And the name change is a cute idea too.

I agree with you about the b&w one in front of the playground. It. is. awesome.

One of my husband's oldest friends is an amazing photographer and we keep talking about having him do a "lifestyle" shoot of us, but for some reason just haven't made it happen yet. We really should.
Very cute shots! Looks like a fun time!
Wow! Those are great! I too, love the black and white of you and the boys. You guys are so photogenic!

Wow, you've inspired me to book the family portrait I've been putting off. I've got 5 kids, ages 10 and under and I am always sweating by the time the photos are done. For every decent shot there are always fifteen bad ones! For Christmas last year I sent a card with 3 pics-one great family shot and two smaller pics of the kids fooling around. A little reality with the holidy wishes!

fabulous pics!!!

What great photos. My family is supposed to be getting professional pictures soon too. I can't wait
Wow! Great photos! My favorites are the one of you with the boys and the family shot with the pile-up on dad :-)

Which reminds me, we should probably get some professional shots done too! We used to do then once a year when Sarah was born, then we stopped, and we have no professional shots of Stella at all! Bad mommy.

Gorgeous! We haven't had a family photo taken professionaly...ever. Gotta get on that ASAP! :)
Jessica saidā€¦
Awesome. That b&w of you at the park with the kids makes you look like a super hero. I can practically see a cape floating out behind you. It's incredible!

Your boys are precious.
Unknown saidā€¦
These are FABULOUS!! For some reason the second one really stands out to me. And yes, the pictures in the park are wonderful too! Love them!
Unknown saidā€¦

Wow, honey!
