Family Portraits 2013

December 14, 2013

One of the traditions that is a part of our holiday season is getting a family portrait taken. I’m sentimental about family portraits. Since I’m usually the one behind the camera, it’s rare that I get photos of myself with the kids. I love that hiring someone gives us a series of pictures as a family together, and captures that stage in time.

This year, I hired Kristin Rogers to take our photos. I’ve been a longtime fan of her work on instagram and was thrilled to find out she is local to me. We had a great session with her and I was so happy with the pictures. This one made me laugh so hard . . . as I was standing there trying to smile naturally, I had no idea that my girls were striking some fierce poses.

You know how sometimes you don’t realize how big your kids look until you see them in a photo? Yeah . . . that.

Tea Collection provided us with the clothes for our pictures, which made it really easy to choose coordinated colors without being too matchy-matchy.

I feel like this picture totally captures the essence of my kids.
