After sharing our Christmas cards last week, I realized I hadn’t shared our annual family photos with you yet! While my family would probably be totally fine without taking pictures (they aren’t the biggest fans hahaha!), it is my one request. I want family pictures. So, I tell them to suck it up, it’s what mom wants for Christmas. Any other mamas like that?

The AMAZING Jenn of The Wild Bloom photography was so awesome and patient with us when our little ones were NOT having it. We bribed them with lollipops and Jenn held up stuffed animals and we ran around and played and did what we could to get a smile. I basically told my kids, “I CARRIED YOU IN MY WOMB FOR A COLLECTIVE 18-19 MONTHS. YOU WILL DO THIS FOR ME AND LIKE IT.” They didn’t understand. But that’s okay. In the end, the pictures came out GREAT and I nearly cried when Jenn sent me the gallery. Watching my kiddos grow up and looking at pictures of me and my hunky husband just makes my heart explode. So much love.

Anyway, I wanted to share some of my favorites from our family session! If you are in the Raleigh / Durham area and you’re looking for a photographer, I highly recommend Jenn!

Those smiles tho…
