Anyone else get that panicked feeling after taking family pictures? I start to wonder…did I pick out the right outfits? Should I have reapplied lipgloss halfway through? Was Nash’s hair in his face the whole time? Will we even get ONE good Christmas card photo?
I know, I’m crazy…but these are the kinds of questions I ask myself every. single. time.
And that’s where my good friend Ali comes in. I swear everything she touches turns to gold. I go from praying that we got at least one good picture–to wondering how on earth I could ever pick a favorite.
I know I say it every time we have our pictures taken…but goodness, I cherish these photos. They’re sweet memories, frozen in time. I can’t wait to look back on these some day. I know I’ll be grinning from ear to ear…
How’s that for a family photo overload?! Don’t worry, I did save ONE surprise. I couldn’t give away our Christmas card that easy 😉
Special thanks to Ali for capturing these precious photos. I adore them–and always will!
They are PERFECT! Love them so much!
They turned out so great! You have a beautiful family, friend!
