<\/p>\nMy oldest turns 4 this week and my little lady is 2, so I finally decided on a “schedule” for family portraits in the long term. \u00a0I do impromptu\u00a0portrait sessions of them all the time, but I decided it’s a good idea to do an actual planned family portrait with a professional photographer (not me!!) every other year and a planned\/styled session of just the kids on the alternating years. \u00a0I decided it works out well for Jeremy & me to sit out and just concentrate on the kids on alternating years. \u00a0You feel me?<\/p>\n

I rented this studio for a family in November and decided to carve out an hour for my own kiddos in the hour before my session. \u00a0I planned the outfits, etc just as I advise all of you to do!<\/p>\n

My kids are used to having their photos taken in my home studio and are usually great about it… however, being in a new place inspired some impish behavior, and these were a lot tougher than usual to capture!! \u00a0Still proud of my kiddos for being generally pretty sweet little ones and following mama’s directions. \u00a0Thanks to Jeremy (dada) for helping corral them!<\/p>\n

Happy new year, and watch for many more blog posts coming soon! \u00a0I have about 20 sessions from fall-winter to blog and I hope to get it all done by the end of January. <3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
