Famiy Pictures

We had our family pictures taken on Tuesday this past week by the lovely Amber Byrd.  It feels a little indulgent to hire someone to take family pictures every year, but honestly, I treasure these pictures-- she captures our family perfectly and the boys really cooperate for her.  If I just did the pictures myself, I wouldn't ever be in them and they boys would be rolling their eyes in every picture- ha! PLUS, Amber is sooooo affordable, so we can justify it!

Anyway, after stressing about outfits for the boys, outfits for momma, hair probs and a new location, I think things came together... I didn't think she would get one last year and she got some of my most favorite ones.  Hopefully she will surprise us this year too!

 these were just in the driveway as we were getting ready to go...

And then I snapped this one of Eddie and the boys while Amber was taking it-- love!

I also got this one with my phone-- these were the first ones we took...shirts still tucked in and vests on.  This did not last long.  Vests were shed and shirt tails came out.  

And then Cal became a child model....who poses like this???

And then Amber posted this one to facebook-- I love it!!!!! Might be my new phone case....

If you are local, we can't say enough great things about Amber Byrd!!!
