Picture Time
Chris Lindsay, a notable photographer and super close friend, asked us if he could take our family picture before we left NY. We haven't had an even semi-professional picture taken of us, so saying yes wasn't difficult. He came equipped with a studio; including lights, meters, an assistant, and lots of other stuff I didn't know photographers used. The session went all night, disbursed between eating thai food middle eastern food, laughing, talking old times, and taking a few pictures. It was memorable.
We just got the prints in the mail last week. So nice they are frame ready, now we can actually hang them up instead of intending to print them out, which wouldn't have happened for at least another year. They look much better in person than on screen, but its so great to have them, and we couldn't be happier.

Those turned out so great! He did a good job!
Awesome pictures. You guys look great!
So lovely that I want to frame and hang them in my house too.
LOVE. And the second one looks album worthy, if you and Tom were to put out an album. (And I love Amy's comment).
those are such great pics of you guys. pete and i need to do something like this. we have too many where he is holding the camera for us.
as I scrolled down I just looked at your picture and really really liked it. as I continued to scroll I saw addie beaneath the couch pouting and then i absolutely LOVED IT.
Wow, what a great photo. We need to do one too! What a handsome family you have... and so hip too!
very cute, i love the chuck theme! also, your dog looks like a cute little toy, what a sweet sad little face. aww. :)
What a darling family you have! These photos seem to capture your personality well, very modern and classy and tasteful. I love the matching shoes, does that include Luke's too? I often cringe at the idea of family pictures (based on my childhood of course), but a good photographer changes everything. There just may be hope for us yet! :)
So beautiful.. really capture the spirit of the Bean family. I might need to fly Chris out for a quick shoot.
So great! Luke is a doll. Nice Chris!
Fantastic! Love these. I knew you guys were quite cute, but I had no idea Chris was so talented.

i've been wondering how these turned out-really really lovely!
cutest family of all time!!!!!!!!!!!
those are really great pictures. you'll have to show some more of them to blogland someday.
La-la-love them!! Just like other people said before me... a good photographer makes all the difference in a good picture vs. a matchy matchy family photo ala 90's style. I hope you know what I mean... Anyway... good looking and stylish folks like yourselves (is that a word?) don't hurt a bit either! :)

P.S. To answer your question... I think we will be coming out west this summer... July I think... I might be there for about a month! We will have to get the cousin kids together!
I like the pictures...very cute!

Like everyone else, I think these photos are amazing. What a lovely threesome you are.
