In the five and a half years that we have been a family of three, we have only had family photos taken twice. I regret this all the time. But it has been so easy to put it off, brush off the cost, and tell myself the every day photos we take of each other are enough.

BOOK YOUR FAMILY PHOTOS!! DO IT
I cannot stress how beyond special these photos are to me. What in the world was I thinking?! Time moves so fast, and life can change in an instant.
The beautiful and kind Naomi Hopkins was planning a trip to New York City for work, and as soon as I heard, I asked if she would possible do my family photos. She agreed and gave me more than I could ever dream of with these. They are stunning, honest, beautiful and the perfect capture of our life right now. Just looking through them makes me want to cry.
I know many of us put off family photos because we are insecure about our body or waiting to lose 20 pounds. But do me and you kids a solid and take these photos now. You can still take them down the road, too! (I will be planning to do this twice a year from here on out!) But…
THIS IS YOUR FAMILY.
They love you. You love them. And when you are old in your rocking chair with grandkids on your lap, you will be so glad you have these photos to look back on with them.
