Family Pictures

i don't like having my picture taken.

so every year i find an excuse not to have family pictures taken

i finally caved this year when i realized in our last family pictures our family looked like this:

{2002 - morgan was 3}

and this

{2003 - i was pregnant with landon. what was i thinking having a family picture done while pregnant}

yep, it had been 8 years since we had family pictures taken.  

that's two more children added to our family since our last photo shoot.

i guess it really was time to take some update family pictures.

it wasn't entirely painful. just a little painful.

i am pretty pleased with how our pictures turned out.

here are some of my favorites from the day:

{this one is now a canvas hanging in my house!}

{i really loved this one but landon has a goofy look on his face}

a highlight of the day was getting to throw the leaves. it was a super windy day so the leaves were flying everywhere.

thanks to our wonderful photographer who eased the pain of having my picture taken and made our afternoon shoot so much fun.
