family photos

our favorite photographer, Erin, came over to capture our family

exactly 1 year-to the day-after we took JRs newborn photos.

although I groaned and moaned, along with my brothers, when my mom made us take family pictures...i'm so glad that she made us.

and i will force the tradition on our family.

i do think it is important to capture everyday, candid and casual, non-staged photos of your family.

but i also LOVE having some "formal" photos of our family as well...making the effort to get everyone spiffied up and looking in the same (general) direction with a skilled photographer. 

and luckily, Erin is awesome and captured all of these images in 45 minutes!

which is amazing with a super busy 1 year old.

do you see his little right hand?

oh lands.

we are so happy to have these moments captured

especially this last one.
