If you are anything like me…being in front of the camera is not something to look forward to, AT ALL…but, I also know that it is important that my daughter know I actually existed when she was a child

Yesterday, with our tripod in hand, all of us headed outside in hopes of taking a nice family photo.  Normally I stress out about this a bunch and it ends up in tears and frustration from everyone…but this time was different.  I decided before we headed out that if we got one, great, if not that would be fine too, at least we would have some family time together…and don’t you know when you don’t stress, it ends up turning out just fine.  That doesn’t change the fact that my husband and I cringe at ourselves in photos, but I know years from now these will be small treasures worth their weight in gold and my daughter will look at them again and again to see what we looked like as a family all those years ago.
