So it's been YEARS since we had a family photo taken. I'm talking, like, TEN. The last one was for our church directory when Lyndsey was a baby. I could kick myself for not making family photos a priority. It would have been nice to have at least one done every couple of years. Argh.
BUT...
For Mother's Day, the kids (and Rob) got me a digital camera and a "coupon" for a photography session. They knew I needed to have a headshot taken anyway to submit for the Genesis contest in which I am a finalist, so this gift couldn't have been more perfect. Although, I have to admit, it's pretty sad that it took a writing contest to prompt a family photo. SHAME on me!
Anyway, the pictures turned out great! And, to give credit where credit is due, we used Robin Kyburz, an independent professional photographer. She was awesome and I recommend her, wholeheartedly. She does weddings, senior pics, kids, you name it. And her prices are almost ridiculously inexpensive!
Oh...and if you ever use Robin for your photo needs, give her my name. I'd love the freebies she offers for referrals!
So in reviewing our photos, a few things were confirmed to me:
- I really do need to lose 30 pounds.
- My hair is a little too puffy
- I LOVE black and white photos!
- My kids could be models
- My husband is a good looking guy!
