So, I know that getting your pictures taken is no picnic for any family....especially for the moms who have to coordinate outfits and get everyone clean and happy at the same time :). Actually, it's something we (meaning me and my family) do very rarely. Usually it's just me and a tripod trying to get "the" shot of everyone smiling and it doesn't always work out so well. I think the last picture we had taken (which incidentally was the second time ever) was about 8 years (and minus one child) ago. How sad is that? Well this year I decided no matter what, we were going to get our pictures taken!!! Now let me give you a little background:
About 2 years ago, when I started doing photography "professionally" I found my greatest teacher was (and still is) being inspired by the beautiful work other photographers. About this time I happened upon the blog of a wonderful photographer from North Carolina. Fast forward about a year and imagine my surprise when I was sitting in church one day and heard the name of this photographer who was now living back in Colorado. I felt compelled to introduce myself and, long story short, I was excited to have her take our family pictures this fall - even though it meant getting all 8 of us outfitted, clean and happy...at the same time. Yes, I get that having your pictures taken isn't always easy, but it is definitely worth it!
You can see her blog HERE, but she was nice enough to let me do a post on my blog as well. Thank you Aly Dart for being a wonderful photographer and for being willing to share you talent with my family!
