Family photo shoot {Not-so-wordy Wednesday}


I didn’t get professional maternity photos done (which is probably for the best since I looked and felt like the side of a barn). We didn’t get professional photos taken of newborn Quinn. No, we decided to wait until Quinn was a full-on toddler and nearly impossible to wrangle long enough to take a decent picture.

We had our first family photo shoot a couple weeks ago. We wore the obligatory coordinating, but not matching, sweaters and our best smiles. An hour before sunset, the lighting and Quinn’s temperament were perfect.

As with any toddler, it was a little difficult getting Q to pose or do anything we wanted him to do. But the photographer did a great job getting him to smile and capturing him doing his natural, cute Quinn-type stuff.

I’m really happy with the results. Here’s a quick sample and, for our family and friends, a Christmas card photo spoiler alert.

Did you have professional family photos taken this year? How did they turn out?
