Family Pics 2015

We had family pictures planned for mid-July.  I always try to plan the outfits way in advance so I'm not stressing the week of trying to get everyone coordinated, but not matchy.  That's not an easy task with 5 people so I do a lot of consulting with my stylist (aka: I send pictures to Carly constantly).  

So everything was ready to go and then...Ty got sick and we had him in the emergency room the Sunday before pictures planned for Thursday. I wasn't sure if he was going to be better or not (he was!) but then Paige spiked the super high fever on Wednesday. Do I just cancel? It's one of those things that you've been planning so long for and you just want to check off your list, but of course you want the pictures to be good and they cost a lot of money. And then there was rain in the forecast for Thursday so our photographer Gina and I were texting all day trying to determine if the weather was going to hold out and if Paige was up for it. We could have rescheduled, but we had Ty's party coming up and then we were going on vacation and Gina of course had her own schedule to work with so we went for it and hoped for the best (and gave Paige some Motrin before we left!).

So here are some of my favorites...I couldn't be happier! Of course there are things I wish I would have changed but that always happens (ie. those darn balloons!).  Ultimately, this is our family of five as of July 2015.

(The pictures were taken in downtown Frankfort by Gina at Gina Cristine Photography.)







This one makes me laugh because Ty was not feeling the swinging!







Another funny one!

An outfit change...



and an attitude change - ha!
