Our Sunday Afternoon: Family Pictures and Family Time

Well.... lets start off with that my husband hates taking pictures, but I love them. I have had some

photos done for my daughter but none of our family since she was 2 and I thought it was time. I wanted something that we could use for our Christmas card as well as chronicle that my little one is now 5. I really do not like the Olan Mills look of pics and really enjoy photos that reflect more of us a individuals and as a family.

To prepare for the shoot I found two chalkboard signs at Target in the Dollar Spot and used a chalk pen and wrote our name on one and Merry Christmas on the other to use a props. I also found these cute t-shirts that we wore as well.   Of course, my daughter and I had the same shoes one. I think they turned out great and I can not wait to start creating our Christmas card. Thanks Jesssica Bouman Photography for the get pics. Here are just a few.....

After the photo session, we went  our to dinner enjoyed some good food and some funny conversation. By the end of the day we were beat and all we wanted to do was to veg out on the couch in front of the TV.  Well should I say, my husband and I wanted to all my daughter wanted to do was to play outside.  She got her wish as my hubby and vegged out on the outside furniture, one last time before the weather changed, and she got to play on the neighbors trampoline. All in all it was a fun, family-filled day.
