Family Pictures


One year for Christmas I made an appointment to get our family pictures done at a place in the mall. I vowed never to do that again!! I had spent all morning getting myself and Madilynn ready and all day trying to keep us ready. Madilynn cried all through the photo shoot because all I wanted her to do was smile. Tony and I just had fake plastic smiles plastered on our face. We spent way too much money for those pictures, and every time I see them I think "oh, that day was horrible"

This year, however, my lovely aunt Kate took our family pictures. She is an amazing photographer. I love her photos because they are "real," and those are the kind of photos that have good memories attached.
I am so happy with the way our family pictures turned out this year. Madilynn was being a little stubborn for some of the pictures and Sophie was flat out NOT cooperating, but that is just how it goes! So thank you Katie for hanging out with us and snapping your camera at the right moment when we all looked good!!


I love this picture because it is so Maddie and Sophie! My four year old not about to do something that she does not want to do, and my two year old in "la la land!"

Love them! Every single one. I love how she captured the personalities. Like I told you before, you all look like models.

Kate IS an amazing photographer, but it helps I'm sure when you have such good-lookin' subjects. Everyone looks beautiful. Love you.

So freaking cute!! I love them! What beautiful girlies! I seriously think that in 10 years you're going to have to watch out for Sophie, she's going to have boys all over the place!

I love all of your pictures. I especially love the last picture of the two girls together. I can't believe how old your girls are now, time flies!! I need to get your number from you. I tried to contact you while I was in Utah and apparently I have the wrong number.
