We have been talking for years about getting a family photo done. We have lots of photos, but like everyone, Someone must man the camera. For us Man is literal, so we have very few photos of Keith.
We scheduled our session with a friend who is a great photographer (in my opinion!). She also happens to be the mom of one of Brady's playmates. We were hoping this familiarity would keep Brady from playing shy in front of the camera.
From here the planning began. We all scheduled and got haircuts. I spent time brainstorming and then shopping for semi-coordinating outfits. The one thing we didn't plan for was the chilly weather and Brady's perpetual cough.
The session went great in spite of the chill and the fact that Brady ended the session by throwing up on both him and me (all that coughing!). That said, I didn't have too high of expectations in the outcome of our session. I can't imagine how Laura got any shots that didn't include Brady hacking and coughing or Meribel wrapping her arms around herself to ward off the chill.
However, Laura does seem to work miracles - really, she does! This preview shot from her blog is the proof:

Thats a beautiful shot. One of the things I've always loved about digital photography is that people are MUCH more willing to snap a TON of shots, and a great photographer can see the moment to snap that the rest of us might not have.
(funny, Steve left yesterday and first thought was - dang it, I could have had him take some family pictures for us. UGH.)
Again...
Beautiful picture, and beautiful family :o).
