Family Pictures Through the Years

I had to laugh when browsing through our old photos the other day and thought I would allow you to laugh along with me.

Here is our first family picture back in 1994 when all denim was the rage! (It was the rage right? Tell me it was..haha!) If you look closely notice how my husband's hand is nicely planted and how I am not looking at the camera and had no time to do my hair with a baby. haha!

Then my husband went back to school and we were poor starving law students and didn't have money for professional photography so these made due for a couple of years..haha...

Another baby and still no time to do my hair and I guess we really liked denim. :)Family came to visit us for graduation and we had another opportunity for a family shoot! Cap and gown is always a good choice for family pictures. haha!

Enough was enough and I finally got a nice picture...it cost us a fortune though! I don't think I even told my husband how much. :0

A few years and another child later......

Two years ago and ready for a new one. We are getting our family picture taken in a week and I can't wait to see how they turn out. I've been looking for inspiration and getting our outfits put together..more on that later. Hope you enjoyed our little flash back in time. It was fun!

5 Months!!

Where in the world did the time go? Okay honestly it feels like it's been a lot longer than that. haha! We are enjoying our little Camryn. She is a happy baby and is sleeping longer stretches at night which I love!

Madison (our 4 yr. old) is enjoying being a big sister most days! :0

Playing Photographer

A couple of weeks ago my very good friend asked if I would take her family pictures. It was so fun to play photographer for a day and well getting out of the house without any little ones pulling me every which way was very nice too! Check out these cute peeps....










And....for those of you who still read my blog and check in on me (big hug),I am slowly returning to this dear blog of mine I miss it and think about all my bloggy friends but I am doing well...busy...busy..but well! Check back soon and I will show you what we are wearing for our family pictures. Love this time of year!

Wedding Bells!

My sweet sister in law got married a couple of weeks ago. She is a beautiful bride. I am so very happy for her and her new husband! I enjoy going to wedding so much..all of those sweet memories of when I married my husband come flooding back. I got a couple of cute shots of our day at the wedding.
