Remember the relief society service auction I helped put together? I scored big time. Carly offered up a family photo shoot, and I abused our friendship to get some dreamy shots on the dock at lake ann during the fall color show. She just sent me this teaser and I'm excited to see the rest!
Prepping for family pics is no joke. 7 people need to look semi presentable. I wanted everyone to look nice but also just look like us. Nothing too fancy or unrealistic. Ok, one could easily argue that me showing up showered, with hair and makeup and actual clothes on with no baby food or spit up splatters on me is a stretch for reality, but I digress.
I was determined to not drop a fortune on this, and was pleased that I found everything but my sweater (target) and Reese's skirt (purchased second hand for $5) from our closets.
Sorens sweater may have even made an appearance in a previous year's family snapshot, on 3 year old Corbin. I rummaged through drawers and pulled everything together in about 30 minutes and texted s couple friends for suggestions, styling advice. You can tell from the quality of my photo vs Carly's money shot up above, that my photography skills are mediocre at best. I'm thankful for talented friends who share their gift, so I can have this crazy time in our lives preserved in a photograph. Someday, that wild evening at the lake, trying desperately to get everyone to look at the camera at the same time (and not fall in the lake, run into the woods, throw rocks at one another, etc) will feel like a blink in time. I'm lad I chose vibrant wild colors for us to wear. Chaotic as it is, it's a beautiful blink. I have a vibrant, wild, and sweetly blessed life.
