Family photos capture moments in time that years down the road you wish to go back to and hold tightly in your heart. Every year we go through the trouble to take them, and on that day, it always feels like such a mess- someone's not smiling, or someone is getting grass stains, or someone is making faces, and I always leave the photoshoot simultaneously wishing that it wasn't so hard and like the worst mom on the planet for all the yelling that happens in that hour of time to get a few good photos.
But then a few weeks pass, and I see the gems arrive in my inbox, and each moment of discontent disappears, because these photos capture all that is wonderful and good in my children. Impish grins, joyful smiles, curious wonder, I love each photo for all it reminds me of and all it holds- the best of both worlds.
So here's 2016, for each moment up to it, I'm grateful and for all the love in these photos, I'll forever capture in my heart. I love these four more than anything else and I couldn't imagine a life without all that comes with our family, the ups, the downs, and everything in between.
