Family Photos

Last week there was a photographer's meet-up at a beautiful park on the water.  We were paired up and took turns photographing each other's families.  

It was interesting being on the otherside of the camera.  Even the "what do we wear" was a challenge.  In our case, I knew the best place to start answering that question was with my six-year old fashionista.  The girl's got style and very strong opinions about what she wears so I wanted her to be happy with what she had on.  Coincidently, she had just gotten two pretty, coordinating sundresses for her birthday and as soon as she produced those, I knew we had a starting point!

Truth be know, Avery was responsible for 90% of the wardrobe decisions.  The weather was beautiful and the kids were cooperative.

Shaun is NOT a fan of having posed pictures taken but he went without complaint, even though it took a large chunk of his evening when he really should have been working.  It spoke volumes of love to me that he went along with it and even took us out to dinner after to complete our family time together.

These are so special to me, I'm thankful we took the time.  If you've been toying with the idea of doing this for your family, do it.  It doesn't have to be fancy, just get everyone together.

God sets the solitary in families
