Great photos! I actually prefer photos of my kids and don't care about family photos. As long as I have photos of my parents, it doesn't matter if I'm in the picture. I guess time will tell if they feel different. Sorry to pick on you. But I wish you would change your mind about your photo. My mother in law was a larger woman that hated to have her photo taken. She passed away when my husband was 16. And there are only a handful of photos of her. And none of her and my husband when he was older than 2 or 3. We treasure all those photos. I never met her. But her children don't see a large woman. They see their mom and wish they had more photos of her. So I don't care that I have weight to lose. I get in photos. That way my child has those photos if something were to happen to me.

I guess time will tell if they feel different. But your kids will care one day if they have pictures of you- just like you care about having pics of your parents. Imagine if you didn't have any of your parents. It would be sad I think.

We actually had a family portrait session done on our cruise this summer. I was skeptical about it, but I really loved the photos. Your family pics look wonderful!

We will be having family pics taken at my wedding next summer and I can't wait. We did random casual ones last year at Thanksgiving and Christmas for both my and my fiance's family, but we're looking forward to pros.
I do remember way back, when our dog was just a very young dog and we were in a situation to have pro pics taken of us with him. I really just wanted my grandson and Tucker, but the photographer said "Please let me take a few of you with him. A day will come when you will be glad to have them", so I let her take a couple. Tucker is not well now, and I am so happy to know I have those pictures. I absolutely HATE having my picture taken with a mad passion, but I am glad I decided to listen to that advice and have them done.

Great PSA. We haven't done professional photos since DS was 2 or 3. He's now 25. When he joined the Army I insisted on getting the three of us in a selfy every time we said goodbye. DS (like me) hates having his picture taken. This photo was taken just before DH and I left for the airport. DS almost didn't get to see us as his unit was being punished for something and they were running up and down mountainsides on Oahu. He's hot and sweaty and puked just before the photo. The photo was important because he was deploying to Afghanistan after our visit.

i haven't had them done by anyone else - but i've set up the shot and handed it over to someone else this was mother's day this year - the boys look grumpy - but that's okay - they look like sometimes! i'm just glad we are all in the photo and looking in the right direction!

Thanks for sharing your fantastic photos. I love your outfit coordination.
I am the worst about pictures. My kid will be saying what you and your dh did when he grows up.

Very nice! You've inspired me to try and get the four of us together for a professional photography session. I seem to be the only one in my family who cares and they can be grumpy about posing for pics.

Thanks for sharing! My family used to gather every summer for a weekend tennis tournament and take family grouping photos. With the kids getting caught up in summer jobs we didn't do it last year and won't this year . Capturing the moments in time is so important.

I wish there was a love button for this post. Your message and photos are beautiful! This! I am rarely in pics because I'm behind the camera. But my adult DD is good about taking selfies of the two of us when we are together. She is expecting her first this fall and I have a 2 yr old grandson from my son so I'm hoping that at Thanksgiving I can get all of us in one shot. My mother was overweight all her life and hated being photographed. There are a couple of decades that I don't have pics of her. I regret that I never thought about that when my kids were little either. I am going to start insisting on more selfies or pics with my kids and hubby before I get any older.

Great pictures! You reminded me that I needed to contact a photographer about family pictures. I had attempted to line one up but for some reason, she was taking forever to reply to my messages and then suddenly, she said she was booked for the dates I wanted. I contacted another one I like and got something set up for mid-August. It's going to be fun! The boys will be in marching band together (possible only year as DS2 keeps saying he'll give it one year) and they get their band shirts at the end of band camp the first week of August. I have a shot I want to do. It will be similar to the one from our wedding but this time, DH and I will be making the faces and they'll be playing their horns. If we could get someone to handle the dog while we're doing pictures, we might attempt to have her in some of them. She howls when they practice so maybe we can get her to howl in the picture. Maybe.
