December 31, 2008 - 9:13 pm
ohmygosh Angie. That very top one is amazing. It might be because I work at that building, and only you could see the beauty of that spot and let it shine in your photographs. I love love it!!

December 30, 2008 - 2:18 am
Ok I told you LuLu’s, That is a great sandwich place I forgot…. it’s Longhi’s you have to go to for breakfast. If you want a FANTASTIC dinner you have to go to Los Sorentos on the beach. You get to watch the sunset and the food is AMZING.

Have fun!

I love me some Hawaii. Al and I got married on the north shore. Head over there if you get a chance. You’ll want to be a surfer bum for the rest of your life.
Have a blast. Send me a post card. My address is 7.
December 31, 2008 - 2:25 am
Oooohhh I love Hawaii!! I can’t say I’m much of a world traveler but I have been to Hawaii a number of times…..LOVE Hawaii!!! Have fun, we want lots of pics!!
Click to enlarge:As many of you know Anthony and I went to Paris and London for 10 days last March. It was kind of a bust, but it was definitely fun in it’s own way even though we missed our kids SO much!! The hardest thing was how bad our dollar was and I wasn’t...

These are incredible. I bet they will look awesome on the metalic!!! I hope you had a Merry Christmas!
December 27, 2008 - 5:28 am
I am in LOVE with metallic papers! I’m sure these look awesome. Sorry your trip wasn’t so great. 
December 27, 2008 - 6:41 am
Aww… But I guess to each its own. I <3 Paris. The food. The chic people. The beautiful, timeless architecture. The museums. Did I mention the food? Yum! (Even the 1-euro baguettes were so delightful.)
I need to return soon….
December 27, 2008 - 2:13 pm
Those look great! We were in Paris last May and I had the same trouble with tourists. I wanted so many fabulous pics but the crowds got in our way a lot!
We actually went out to the countryside and along the Cote d’azur and stayed away from tourists fairly well. Renting a car and driving out was money and time well spent. If you want some cool places to visit, I’d be happy to help, or you can visit our blog: templemantattler.blogspot.com Look under may and june.
December 27, 2008 - 10:30 pm
Beautiful! Good to know about the tourist crap in Paris – I can’t stand anything ‘touristy’ so I’m aching to see the country-side and go to Ireland’s country-side as well. Great idea on the metallic paper, I’m sure it will look incredible!
Merry Christmas!
December 28, 2008 - 4:04 am
gorgeous!
January 1, 2009 - 4:44 am
Beautiful. I could live inside the Louvre…other than that Paris is not my fave. Great shots, though!
#2, which I think was my first instinct but I just love them all so then I thought, I will just do a canvas wall, but I am just a huge fan of one large canvas. I think I may print #1 for my studio or my office at home. Seriously, I cannot believe all...

#2 was my fav!! Looking forward to my mentoring session!!!! amy
December 27, 2008 - 12:30 am
Your so funny, I didn’t even notice his hand in that picture. My first thought was that I loved how his mouth is wide open and you guys look so natural and candid. Even though my fav was #7, I think you made a great choice and couldn’t go wrong with any of them. They are all so cute and seem to really show who your family is and not just what you look like. Hope you guys had a wondeful Christmas and can’t wait to see more of your work in ‘09!
~Laurie
December 27, 2008 - 6:00 am
yippee! my fave! now just legally change your last name to kelley and it will be perfect!
I always have a lot of empathy for my clients when they say it’s hard to decide, I know what it’s like. I love these photos that Jess took of our family, it totally captures US… Anyways, so I just bought a bunch of canvas cash from simply canvas, merry christmas to me! I want...

I love love #7 you guys are just too adorable!
December 22, 2008 - 5:44 pm
I love 5 and 7…I can’t choose between those either!!!!!
Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!
December 22, 2008 - 5:45 pm
First, I totally love your work and love when you have new photo’s to post! I love love love #’s 5 and 7 of your darling family!
December 22, 2008 - 5:46 pm
I have been following your blog for awhile and have finally decided to say hi and that I LOVE YOUR WORK! My photographer isn’t doing families anymore so I have been looking for a new one. But as for your photos I like the last one!
December 22, 2008 - 5:48 pm
I love #7!
December 22, 2008 - 5:49 pm
My favs are 1,3,& 7. I remember you saying how much you loved #1 and I think it would look great blown up big Decisions, decisions….
December 22, 2008 - 5:53 pm
I dig #4
December 22, 2008 - 5:57 pm
5, 6, 7….
Dang it…I don’t know. One of those for sure.
They are all sorts of gorgeous
December 22, 2008 - 6:06 pm
First time for me to comment, but I love your work and have enjoyed your blog for a while. Anyway, hands down #5. Beautiful family!
December 22, 2008 - 6:06 pm
#2 or 7! What a great Christmas present for you!
December 22, 2008 - 6:11 pm
For sure #2 as that is a really playful one and shows the personality of your family..it’s DIFFERENT! Different is good!! It makes a statement, or if you want to be on the more cautious side then go with #7 but that is a pretty “typical” family portrait look..up close, everyone is looking @ the camera. I would go with #2, it’s really something different and unique.
I know exactly how you feel, I had to choose between several that Anna Kuperberg did for my family, we got several big canvas wraps and we decided to go do something really different and not your standard “portrait” look and the raves we get from people when they walk in our home is amazing!! Hope that helps!! It’s such a hard decision!
December 22, 2008 - 6:14 pm
#5 or #7 for me, too x
December 22, 2008 - 6:15 pm
I love #7!! Definitely my favorite!
December 22, 2008 - 6:19 pm
i vote for 2
December 22, 2008 - 6:24 pm
I love love love love love #7.
Found you recently through a friend on a MB, and I just LOVE your work. For an aspiring photog it’s SO inspirational!
December 22, 2008 - 6:33 pm
I love number 7! It is so very nice!!!
December 22, 2008 - 6:39 pm
personally I think #2 is the most relaxed looking one of all of them… I know Tate is hanging down but I love it! It shows the chaos of twins.
If I had to choose another one it would be 7 but 2 is the best!
December 22, 2008 - 6:43 pm
My favs are 6 and 7. If I was going huge, huge on the canvas probably 6. Not super huge probably 7. They are all so cute though! It’s lookin’ like 7 is the winner though. Good luck!
December 22, 2008 - 6:52 pm
#2!!!
December 22, 2008 - 6:57 pm
The last (#7)one for sure. I love the close up for a big canvas.
December 22, 2008 - 6:58 pm
i am LOVING the first and last ones!
December 22, 2008 - 7:01 pm
I am Megan's mom (fabulous job on her photos, by the way)I love #5 & #7… what a cute family.
December 22, 2008 - 7:07 pm
I love 1,2, and 5!
December 22, 2008 - 7:09 pm
#7!! Gorgeous photos!
December 22, 2008 - 7:09 pm
Angie, I vote for the last one for sure! It’s a great close-up of your family! That’s the kind of photo I’d want to put up on the wall! Merry Christmas!
Kelly
December 22, 2008 - 7:12 pm
love #7!!! they are all amazing, but 7 is great! can’t wait to see what you pick!! happy holidays!
December 22, 2008 - 7:34 pm
#1, #5 or #7 are my faves… with #5 as my top pick. Good luck choosing, I can see why you’re stuck!
December 22, 2008 - 7:41 pm
3 and 7 !! gorgeous!
December 22, 2008 - 7:42 pm
I vote #2 or #7.

Jess
December 22, 2008 - 7:51 pm
My vote is #5 and 7 (all of them are great though). I am excited to see which one your choose.
December 22, 2008 - 7:55 pm
I like 5 and 7
December 22, 2008 - 7:58 pm
#7 is my favorite, since you can really see all of your faces, but I also really like #5. What a sweet little family you have!
December 22, 2008 - 8:13 pm
Definitely #7
December 22, 2008 - 8:16 pm
Definitely #7 for me!
December 22, 2008 - 8:27 pm
#5
December 22, 2008 - 8:35 pm
7
December 22, 2008 - 8:41 pm
i love #7! your family is amazingly beautiful!!!
December 22, 2008 - 8:43 pm
For a canvas . . . totally #5. #7 is super cute, but #5 says “make me a huge canvas” all over it!
December 22, 2008 - 8:44 pm
I love #5!!! It has alot of emotion.
December 22, 2008 - 8:46 pm
I am with Erin – #2.
December 22, 2008 - 8:54 pm
my vote is #5. love #7 too but you look gorgy in #5 and that’s what counts!
December 22, 2008 - 9:03 pm
I love #5 and #7!
December 22, 2008 - 9:21 pm
2,4,7 are my fav’s I can’t wait to see it on a 40×60. I so want one that sixe too.
December 22, 2008 - 9:29 pm
I LOVE the first one! But also the last one is great too!
December 22, 2008 - 9:39 pm
Oh my!!! I dont envy you for having to choose they are all gorgeous! I like #7 though, but I love to see up close pics on canvas Good luck! when your done make sure you take a picture of it hanging for us
December 22, 2008 - 9:44 pm
I vote for #1 and #3
December 22, 2008 - 9:46 pm
#5 and #7. Leaning toward #7.
Good luck deciding.
December 22, 2008 - 9:46 pm
I personally LOVE big, expressive family shots so I would go with #7. However, I know you love the one with the stairs, and if you do, that one truly NEEDS to be large in order to see the faces. #7 could be a smaller one to complement it.
Good luck!
December 22, 2008 - 9:55 pm
First time poster, long time blog stalker! I think it depends on the space your putting the canvas in. My favorite vertical is #3, my favorite horizontal is #7.
Thanks for being such an inspiration to me!
December 22, 2008 - 10:04 pm
#1 or #5 they are all great, tough decision. can’t wait to see which one you choose.
December 22, 2008 - 10:09 pm
#5 and #7 are my favorites but if I had to pick just one…I’d say #7 
) Great pictures!
December 22, 2008 - 10:14 pm
#5 and #7… so cute!
December 22, 2008 - 10:24 pm
OOOhhhh…absolutely #7….love the upclose capture! You all look awesome…and you can feel the connection! Ya for you…CANVASCash here you come!
December 22, 2008 - 10:30 pm
#5 is my fave but #1 and #7 are close seconds! Beautiful!
December 22, 2008 - 10:43 pm
I love #2 and #7…They both show personality and how beautiful your family is!
December 22, 2008 - 10:46 pm
Oh, I love 5 a lot!! Good luck making a choice. Love your photography BTW. have a Merry Christmas!!
December 22, 2008 - 10:46 pm
5 and 7 are my favs!! You all look beautiful in all of them! Good luck chosing!
December 22, 2008 - 10:57 pm
#1 would look great huge!
December 22, 2008 - 11:02 pm
#7 For Sure!!
December 22, 2008 - 11:11 pm
I’m gonna go with either 1, 5, or 7. I love 7 the best though…
December 22, 2008 - 11:27 pm
1 or 5
(1) is interesting with great architectural details and, with the small image, I’m assuming everyone looks good
(5) has everyone looking amazing, but casual and fun.
December 22, 2008 - 11:29 pm
I love the location of #1 but #7 is my favorite.
December 22, 2008 - 11:30 pm
#7 for sure!
December 22, 2008 - 11:48 pm
Well, you really can’t go wrong… but I think #2 just screams ‘our family, in this moment in time, here we are’ … love it
December 23, 2008 - 12:08 am
my vote is #7!! it will look amazing on a huge canvas {woohoo}
December 23, 2008 - 12:12 am
Angie…I love the last one. I think it speaks to the fact that you guys are so much fun and full of life!
December 23, 2008 - 12:30 am
I vote #7!
December 23, 2008 - 12:31 am
I vote #7!
December 23, 2008 - 12:43 am
I like the end or the last one.
December 23, 2008 - 2:00 am
I like 1 and 3.
They are all cute…but one is just stunning and would look great huge!
And 3 captures such a slice of life and personality. It’s really wonderful.
December 23, 2008 - 2:05 am
oh jeez! i love love love #1 and #2, and then either #5,6, or 7. Umm, wait. I realize that that’s not narrowing it down much. maybe you need THREE canvases?? yes. that’s the answer.
December 23, 2008 - 2:25 am
I vote #2!
December 23, 2008 - 3:09 am
7 or 5
December 23, 2008 - 3:35 am
you don’t know me but i’m a blog stalker of yours…
i know that my mission in taking photos of families is to get them to think outside the box and order something that is not what everyone in the world would get and i see a lot of cool amazing atypical stuff in your photos as well.
i think my favorites are 2 and then 1 (depending on if you want a closer up or further out one).
my last comment needs to have a pre-reminder that you don’t know me at all but if you get 5 or 7 i will be pretty mad at you =] also know i am HORRIBLE at holding a grudge as i have the memory of a fish!!
please don’t get 5 or 7. they are beautiful images of your family, don’t get me wrong but if the other one’s are totally your family with silliness and laughter get those ones.
ok, good luck. your style and eye for cool locations is encouraging. beautiful images to boot!
December 23, 2008 - 3:47 am
Definitely number 7. Some of the other ones are great –but too far away. I love the close up!
December 23, 2008 - 4:45 am
OMG…that is a tough one! I love #5, #2 & #7…and I love #1. #1 is so artsy… Oh my, I don't think I helped at all!
Looking forward to mentoring session next month Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
December 23, 2008 - 5:06 am
I love the last one!
December 23, 2008 - 5:28 am
#7 without a doubt! Priceless! You have an amazingly beautiful family!
December 23, 2008 - 6:13 am
Don’t you just hate deciding sometimes?…
If I had to choose, I would have narrowed it down to 5,6 or 7. But picture 5 is my favorite. Good luck I might have to ask for your opinion someday.
December 23, 2008 - 6:17 am
Oh my gosh, I can’t pick either!! I think #5 or #7. I love the closeness between you and your hubby in #5, but #7 is so fun.
December 23, 2008 - 6:25 am
Loving #1!!!
December 23, 2008 - 6:31 am
Ok so here is my 2 cents! Since there was 80…yes 80 others that left their favs! I like (1) and (2)! Those are your family! (1) gives us your style…it is smart, edgy, and brilliant! (2) gives us YOU! I think it defines who you guys are as a family…fun, loving, and goregous HELLO! So as your friend I will expect to have both of these hanging on the wall ASAP! Plus, (1) would look so freaking cool HUGE!!! So there you have it! But if you are anything like me, you will go with what you thought in the first place haha!
December 23, 2008 - 6:36 am
2 or 7!
December 23, 2008 - 7:12 am
#7 all the way
December 23, 2008 - 7:43 am
First or last. All the way.
December 23, 2008 - 12:41 pm
5, 6 and 7
December 23, 2008 - 2:09 pm
well. i’m not much help…it’s a tpss up between #2 and #7. good luck deciding!!
December 23, 2008 - 2:27 pm
#7 is my favorite….I wish I had one like this of my family! Have a wonderful Christmas!!
~Laurie
December 23, 2008 - 2:31 pm
Definitely number 7! Love it!
December 23, 2008 - 2:45 pm
7
December 23, 2008 - 2:47 pm
THE LAST ONE! Hands down! If you don’t…then send me the file, I’ll hang you guys in my house !LOL! Happy Holidays Ang! Blessings to your family!
December 23, 2008 - 5:08 pm
5 or 7!
December 23, 2008 - 5:13 pm
These are all to die for…so much that I am trying to decide if hiring Jess for Spring Or a Winter Session… My votes are 2,5 or 7. But really, how can you go wrong with your beautiful family?!
December 23, 2008 - 5:34 pm
Are you kiddin? #2 with out a doubt!
December 23, 2008 - 6:01 pm
#5 or #7. Beautiful family!
December 23, 2008 - 6:32 pm
#7 hands down!
December 23, 2008 - 7:01 pm
you don’t know me—BUT I CHOOSE #1!
TO DIE FOR!
its different and so open
good luck!
December 23, 2008 - 7:34 pm
2 or 7 for sure!
December 23, 2008 - 9:23 pm
Hey Angie its Jess!
My vote is for #5!
Although I can’t stop looking at #2 either….I know it is hard to decide!!
December 23, 2008 - 10:00 pm
photo #2 or the last one for sure!!!! love it, love it, love it…
December 23, 2008 - 11:50 pm
#7 to cute!!!
December 24, 2008 - 12:50 am
Ahh! #5 and #7 both get my vote. I cannot decide. Good luck trying to yourself!
December 24, 2008 - 12:54 am
Love #7
December 24, 2008 - 1:23 am
#7 it is!
December 24, 2008 - 1:43 am
I love 2 and 7! Gorgeous.
December 24, 2008 - 2:01 am
#5. What a difficult choice!
December 24, 2008 - 2:19 am
#2 and the last one are my fav!
December 24, 2008 - 5:24 am
I love 2 and 7! I think 7 would be awesome huge on canvas! Love ya!
December 24, 2008 - 5:52 am
I think you MUST get 2! #2 & #7 are by far my favs.
So fun!
Tara
December 24, 2008 - 7:13 am
Oh my goodness! I cannot believe how many comments are here! Wowza! I am leaning towards 5 or 2… I will print it soon and take a photo for everyone to see, can’t wait. Thanks so much for all your input!
December 24, 2008 - 7:55 am
I love number 5, it is absolute perfection. Your family is the cutest. Please say you took a hundred shots to get that one… then I won’t feel so bad that my family shots take forever.
December 24, 2008 - 3:08 pm
As I strolled down the page I was thinking “yeah, she is never going to be able to choose, I love them all.” I still love them all but #7 did it for me. Good luck though, I know how much you wanted #1!
December 24, 2008 - 4:08 pm
I like #7 but for a large canvas photo I would pick #2.
December 24, 2008 - 10:53 pm
definately #7!
December 24, 2008 - 11:56 pm
definitely number two – family at its best. Let us know what you decide!
December 25, 2008 - 3:30 am
Number 2 or 3! I absolutely love them.
December 25, 2008 - 5:20 am
I like both 1 and 7 – I am a faces person, so number 7 is beautiful, but I think number 1 would look great blown up
December 25, 2008 - 9:17 pm
wow ang,I’m not sure they all are super cute. I think I’d pick 5.
Merry Christmas! I’ll see you on sat… right? I have a gift for you…. and Natalie is in town and will be there….. any of this tempting you enough to not miss it? hope so.
xox
December 25, 2008 - 9:50 pm
All beautiful, but #7 is classic. it’s nice to clearly see everyone’s expression.
December 26, 2008 - 2:21 am
#7. def.
December 26, 2008 - 8:14 am
I like #2. I think it shows everyone’s true personality (like I know what your true personality is) but it seems the most natural and it would be fun.
December 26, 2008 - 5:27 pm
123 comments??? Are you serious? You are such a rock star!!!
#5 is my vote. Great shots, Jess!!!
December 26, 2008 - 7:20 pm
