Today I got the idea to do a brother photo shoot. You know photos where my children wear more than their undies, and a shirt that does not have a super hero on it. It set me back a box of Legos, since I am not above a bribe to get a good photo. We ended up having a lot of fun, and it did my heart good to capture their brother love for each other.

What wonderful pictures of such wonderful boys. Not only are they handsome as all getout, but their beautiful spirits just pop right off the page. I love the look Conner is giving Peyton in the fourth one down and the last one is just too precious for words. You really caught them, Chelsea!
xoxoxo
I know, I love that look too:) and thank you Cathy for your kind words-xoxo
Wow – you captured the emotion and joy and love between them – just lovely. My favorite is the last one – it radiates their sweetness – beautiful!
thank you so much Mary, it was really special to capture their love:)
What wonderful photos of your boys. Worth a box of Lego’s for sure. Read you blog every morning since the beginning. Cry and laugh with you.
thank you so much Lea for reading for so long! and yes you are right, it was so worth the Legos:) love, Chelsea
These pictures are AWESOME !!!!
thanks Patti:)
perfect! love them all but the last one the most!
the last one was my favorite too:)
So precious, Chelsea. Today I am with my 2 1/2 great nephew, Will, and we looked at the boys’ pictures together. Will is going to be a “big brother” on February 7th and I wanted him to see two “big boys” (as he called them) together so he’d know how very blessed he is going to be to have a brother.
Thank you for sharing brothers’ love, Chelsea.
Your Ohio friend,
Connie
oh he will love it!!! Peyton and Conner are 19 months apart and best friends, I know he will be with his brother too:) xoxo
I love them all!!! My favorites are: 2 (Peyton picking up Conner), 10 holding hands, black and white with blue bracelet, and 17 (walking away holding hands).
These are precious!
i love all those too:) it was nice to have a way to include Trek with the Embrace Life bracelet. xoxo
Beautiful Beautiful boys!!!! You are such a talented photographer too! Im with Amanda! I would so get you to do pictures!!! What a great idea “brother pictures”
thanks Jaimie, it really made me happy to do this:)
Oh my goodness. That fourth one is so adorable I don’t know what to do. It seems like it captures two sweet little personalites so well.
And I love the one where they are running and holding hands.
Those cement tubes are perfect for pictures. We call those Doraemon tubes.
hehe, Doraemon tubes. that is so popular here in Thailand, we still have not seen the show, but I want to, to see what it’s all about:) and thank you about the pictures!
sweetness. just lovey, yummy sweetness. dont you want to just jump into those hugs? OR- sit back and watch them unfold without interference…
I know!!! i do both:)
I can’t pick a favorite! You are an awesome photographer.
what lens did you use? Did you use a post-processing software? Come to Calgary and take our family photos please! 
i would love to come to Canada and do your family photos:) I used my new lens, a 50mm and I used picmonkey.com to edit them:) xoxo
What handsome young men. You did a great job capturing them. How is miss seeing them growing up and maturing into young men. I will gladly reimburse you for the legos just to see these beautiful pictures. Give them great big hugs from me.
haha, that made me smile:) I know, we miss you all too, we will visit soon, Amanda has made sure of it having a baby:) I would not miss that for anything! love you granny
I know I have totally said this before (and I am sure I will say it again) … You are an amazing photographer. You should go into the biz 😊. Your boys are all spa beautiful! Xoxo shannon
I love all the pics, but I really like how much true love & emotion is captured in the last one. I can’t believe how much they are growing! Peyton’s closed mouth smile is so precious, but I love it when he opens his mouth and looks like he laughing. They are both so handsome and your lego bribe was well worth it! Love y’all!
i know:) I love Peyton’s big smile too:) I love how their smiles change throughout the years.
Great job! Picture 12 with them holding hands and running is just fantastic! You’ll cherish all of them for years, I’m sure.
thanks Leslie, I agree, they are keepers:)
Your pictures turned out awesome. Great editing. The pictures show off your boys and how they are so close.
I agree Maria, I told them to just be themselves, they naturally are drawn together and are always holding hands and walking together-it is really sweet.
What AWESOME pictures!! I love them all but I think my favorite is the black and white one where Conner is on Peyton’s back. Really great photos! And well worth the box of Legos.
hehe, I agree Holly, I loved the one of him on his back too:) and yes! totally worth the legos:)
Oh how beautiful – love the black n white photos xxx
Thanks Lisa! they were so fun to do:)
Beautiful!

Wish we could see you all. We love you all.

So cute. You are a pretty good photographer! Ava saw these and said, “Who is that!?” Your boys are stinkin’ cute, and I adore the longer hair on boys, mine have it too.
