Is that even possible? \u00a0I&#8217;m sure it is and I&#8217;m sure I am not alone. \u00a0I do love having our family photographed, but the decisions leading up to the day from deciding on the photographer to deciding on the date and the location to picking out coordinating outfits for the family is way more time consuming than it should be. \u00a0Not to mention the stress involved on the day of the pictures&#8230;.limiting the jumping around in the morning so no kid scratches up their face and then of course there is me&#8230;I&#8217;ve gotten my hair done the past two family photo sessions so for three hours before our session actually starts, I like to stay as still as possible so as not to have a hair get misplaced!<\/p>\n<p>And then during the session&#8230;.it was cold this year&#8230;as in 40 degrees. \u00a0My outfit selections were not intended for 40 degree weather as that forecast was a good 10 degrees below normal temperatures for that time of year.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds fun huh! \u00a0Perhaps this is the real reason we opt to get our family pictures professionally taken every other year instead of each year!<\/p>\n<p>One week after our session, our photographer Allison provided us with our pictures&#8230;close to 70 of them&#8230;and honestly there wasn&#8217;t a bad one in the bunch. \u00a0They were amazing. \u00a0She captured giggles, stubbornness, the unique personalities, the giggles, our shivers, and most of all she captured our love. \u00a0 One look at those pictures and I forgot every stress I had leading up to the actual session&#8230;well sort of. \u00a0But more importantly those pictures made me realize I shouldn&#8217;t stress so much about the perfect location, the perfect outfit, the perfect hair placement. \u00a0There truly is no wrong decision when it comes to capturing our love and personalities. \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6294\"
