Portrait of a Family


As the baby-belly days dwindled, I asked a truly talented friend to take some photos of us.  Aren't they sweet?






Family love. Bliss. Happy, smiley, sweetness. Didn't my friend make us all look so cheerful and loving? I told you she is talented. She did, and it was no easy feat.  Because Missy.


Oh, Missy.  My girl with a curl.
I woke Her from Her nap for this activity.  She was not at all amused.  Not even a tiny bit.
Those photos above are some of my favorites.  But in the interest of honesty?  This is about how it really went:


And in a way it's a favorite, too.  It's nice to preserve the loveliness of a family's smiles.  But if a portrait is supposed to capture the true essence of something, a moment of life and personalities as they really are?  This one is prize winning.  I'm keeping it.  So I can always look back, laugh, and remember- yep. That's how it was.

  2. I love these! The hands on the belly is my favorite - it's perfect. Also, I think headbands are a legitimate reason to have another baby that could possibly be a girl.
