Let me be honest for a minute.

if I’m gonna take your pictures, there will definitely be outtakes.

I will see your weird faces and your crazy hair and I will absolutely laugh at them ALL while I edit.

But you know what?

Sometimes the outtakes are my favorite parts.

I see you let go of your pretenses and good posture and pre-conceived ideas of what your photos should be. And it shows you (and me) what you really look like and how delightfully wonderful that reality is.

So I’m sorry - NOT SORRY - but since you get to keep yourself for a whole lifetime…

Just own it. In all it’s outtake glory.

(OR if you’re related to me I will just keep taking outtake disaster photos like these AND THEY WILL BE AWESOME and you will have no choice because HA you’re my fam. That is all. Love you, Becky!!)

If you think cold weather is going to stop us from having a delightful photoshoot, you’re wrong.

If you think cold weather is going to stop us from being hilarious, obnoxious, silly, and sweet… you’re wrong again.

And if you think cold weather is going to stop me from asking you to play with your kiddos (maybe even on the ground)… you’re probably wrong about that too.

But… if you think that the cold weather is going to stop us from indulging in ice cream while our fingers and noses freeze…

Oh wait. You’re wrong about that one too. (SORRY NOT SORRY)

Stacey… ha, you can’t even tell how cold it was! You fooled everyone. :) You and your family keep getting cuter and cuter and I refuse to admit I’m biased but I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH. Enjoy the photos!!
