Rose Garden Photo Shoot

Ever since buying Talia her first dress last Christmas, I knew I wanted to have family pictures taken with her in it at the Rose Gardens. And five months later, we made it happen! Although it didn't turn out quite as I had hoped. Of course after weeks of 80 degree weather, the first day of rain in over two weeks decides to be on the day we planned for outdoor photos. And of course we choose to do it during the busiest weekend ever! But we didn't have much of a choice as this was our last weekend in Portland. Here are the pics that I managed to get in between a cranky, no-nap toddler and a rare fussy, tired baby. Oh, the things we do to get a few good pictures!

One of Portland's most beautiful parks!

Beautiful backdrop for pictures

Trying to stay busy while Talia is being fed.

Loves helping out when it comes to his sissy!

This one is my favorite! Trying to see if they taste as good as they smell :)

We got a few good ones in the five minutes we could stand leaving her unwrapped in the chilly weather.

Apparently not liking the cool weather any more.

Heading back to the car after a quick photo shoot!
