Matt & Kat

Right before Christmas, Katie {my sister-in-law} asked if I would take pictures of her and my brother. Of course, I was happy to! However, living with Matthew my whole life, I knew that this would not be easy. Matthew does not know how to take a normal picture. It is his mission to make weird pictures. My poor mom never had a normal picture of the four of us together.

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B.
{Yes... yes he did use mascara on his molester mustache to become the Frito Bandito}

I rest my case. I had my work cut out for me.

Luckily, Katie is smarter than Matthew and used this photo shoot as an anniversary present. So he had to take good pictures for his wife :)

So happy {belated} anniversary Matt & Kat! Y'all are awesome!

Suprisingly, Matthew did shockingly well for being sweet in front of the camera given his sister was taking pictures! I only had to reign him in a few times when he got carried away...

Matt, Katie, Linz, and I all graduate from Baylor, and Katie now works for Baylor and Matt taught summer school there this year. So taking picture on campus was the perfect spot for pics.
Go, Bears, Go!!! Sic 'em!

Here we begin to see Matt go downwards with his pop-and-lock hip. But I quickly redirected before we lost all control of him.

The famous Baylor swings :)

We channeled Matt's energy into some fun jumping pictures...

And Matt's reward for taking some good pictures up to this point was to take this picture with the Baylor basketball players.

This one might be my favorite :)

End result? Mission accomplished! I think my mom even cried that we finally got a normal picture of Matthew!

This little guy gave me a run for my money, and it was all we could do to keep him out of the pond! But he sure is sweet and cute!
