Family Photos September 2013

Inexcusable absence from this space.  I know, I know, I know.  But I've missed writing here, and want to check in more frequently.  So, why don't I start with something easy - some photos that we recently had taken of the family.  Our photographer, Margaret of Unusally Fine Photography, also took our engagement and wedding photos 5 years ago, and is incredible. 

 

I normally hate being photographed.  I get so worried about turning the right way and lifting my chin and making sure I'm sucking my stomach in and what my hair looks like.  Then I see the photos and I immediately start to criticize something.  But then months and months go by and I'm not in any photos with my kids - I think when they are older they are going to want to know what their mother looked like.  And they aren't going to care if I was still carrying a few pounds of baby weight or had messy hair that day.  (The fact that these are probably heavily 'shopped doesn't hurt).
