We had our family Christmas photos taken early this year. Way back in October, on a humid, overcast, eighty-five degree morning we all got dressed and pretended that it felt like Christmas outside. Then, we headed to a local Christmas tree farm to meet our photographer.
Madeline was surprisingly shy so that was the hardest part of taking photos this year – it was difficult to catch her smiling. Our photographer was so patient and did such a good job of working around her toddler stubborness and shyness.
I’m so pleased with how our photos turned out this year. I never scheduled maternity photos for either pregnancy so it was also so special to have some photos taken displaying my bump.
Because we had our pictures taken so early, we were able to order our cards and get them out to friends and family before our sweet Connor made his debut, which worked out perfectly because life has been pretty busy since then! We used Minted of course because of the free recipient address printing.
I especially love these photos because they are the last professional photos we have as a family of three. We certainly love our new addition but Madeline was an only child for so long that I love having these of Corey and me with just our big girl.
Merry (almost) Christmas from our family to yours!
They're beautiful! Thank you for our precious card. 🙂
