See a Difference?



We just had our family pictures taken a week or so ago. I was getting kind of tired of only having fat photos.

We have this amazing photographer - his name is Sean Hoyt (check him out at http://www.monkeytreephoto.com/). We have used him for years - our whole family has.

It has been a couple years since our last photo session with Sean - and I thought it would be interesting to share some photos from both sessions. Here a some pictures from 3 years ago - 1 year before I decided it was time to lose weight.










I am particularly grossed out by the one of me and Isaac cuddling on the bench. Just the sheer size of me... My eyes watered up when I saw these again. It's amazing to me how squinting my eyes were.

Here are our latest pictures. While I still have a few pounds to go, I am sure you will see why I am proud of what I have accomplished.

  3. Jetta, the pictures of you before your decision don't even look like you -- I've always seen the girl in the recent pics, it's so funny. Yet I can hardly believe the amazing difference in your smile, the way you look at the camera, your eyes ... I love you so much my friend. And I also am SO proud of you!!!

  6. It is amazing isn't it when you see the 'before' pictures? When I see myself when I was at my heaviest it just astounds me. Even hubby has commented about it himself. When I was at my largest he NEVER would say anything negative. A few weeks now he has come to my blogs to read,lol...and has made some comments like,,'wow, you sure were big?'..lol. LOL..ummmmm..ya!

    You have done amazing!
