What Trying to take your own Family Photos Looks Like | Monthly Personal Project

    This project has been so incredibly amazing for me. I admittedly lag in the taking photos of my own family department and have been trying to be so much better. Of course I am always last minute (not even necessarily in taking the images) but editing, and uploading and I always seem to sit here frantically trying to find the right words to say. The right way to really convey how I feel about my family and I always feel like I can never do them justice.  A+ for effort right though?! And I have to say I have SO many more images of my children this year then I did last year! Even if it meant taking less sessions, hunkering down a bit more which in turn is honestly better for my children anyhow! I seriously apologize for having soooo many photos this month but I just couldn’t help it. To save you time and trouble I won’t post something extremely long winded since I am sure that all the images may take up a chunk of time viewing. Thank you SO much for bearing with me!

    We are always up for the lifestyle approach around here. Trying to actually style/pose/direct my children in anyway is disastrous. Oddly the photos of my mega failing moment are always my favorite anyhow. We begin house hunting in December (not even necessarily to purchase but even to rent) and I can’t wait to hang these all over my home! I will say next time I plan on getting our whole brood in front of a camera I am SO hiring a Photographer!  I would like to be in some of these some day lol!!

    And be sure to head on over to the SUPER talented Shalonda Chaddock of Chubby Cheek Photography to read her amazing post this month HERE.
