FOR ME, FAMILY PHOTOS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AMONG MY MOST TREASURED MEMORIES. I THINK THEY ARE FOR MOST OF US. I am blessed to have been surrounded by family and friends who are excellent photographers. Though some are amateur like me, others are professionals. I am often amazed by their creative eye and ideas.

Recently my friend Erin offered a session idea for families in November. It was literally at 15 minute session and because of her unique ideas and perspective we got some of the best kid shots in a while. Who thinks put a bed in the middle of the woods? Who knows just the quilt that will pop in photos and seem timeless? Who strings a web of stars and the moon to give an enchanted feel? Erin’s Attic Photography does!

I’m in love with all the shots, but these three really make me smile. There won’t be too many years left for 3 kiddos in pajamas. I should mention that matching pajamas would have been great, but my older kids are now sure to express their opinion on these matters. I decided that it was better for them to feel better in their own skin and show their personalities.

What are family photos like for you? I’ve had a variety of good and bad experiences, you too?
