I have several friends who very rarely get family pictures done. One friend has had 3 children (and her youngest is 4) since their last family picture. When I mentioned to these friends that I was going to have family pictures done, the response was, “Again?” That was followed by “You are so good at doing family pictures.”
That is the nice way of saying it. They could very easily have said I am obsessed with having family pictures done and I wouldn’t have argued. I love doing it. I don’t really stress about clothes or hair (until after the fact when I mutter about uncooperative hair for a while) or location or cost. I just want pictures of my family. I want to see my boys in each of their different ages and phases.
There will most likely come a time when I don’t get them as often. Maybe even not once every year (shudder). But for now, my babies are changing so much and since I can’t freeze them and keep them little forever – I will just “freeze frame” them!
I LOVE all your family pictures. I should do it more often. It’s been so fun to watch your family grow.
