Your daddy and I have a tradition: Every five years, like clockwork, we get our photos taken with a real photographer. First, it was our engagement and wedding photos... then, five years later, we had our first family photos done... with you in my belly.
Fastforward five years... so it's time for a real photo session again.
Don't get me wrong - we've had plenty of family photos taken since you were born... mostly at Picture People or Kiddie Kandids. They've been great. But there's something about a real photo shoot with a REAL photographer that I love. The pictures are always so great. I'm a sucker for good photography.
(I just realized that this is a Molly Paige first -- your first real photo shoot!)
At the Trivia Night for your preschool, I bid on a session with a photographer. I put $35 -- the starting price... and I won! I was geeked. That was back in March. We finally got it scheduled for October (thinking the fall colors would be great) but we were rained out once and the photographer had to cancel on us another time due to a family emergency.
We rescheduled for Saturday and crossed our fingers. Being early November, the weather was going to be iffy at best.
It was GORGEOUS. In fact, at 75 degrees, it was warmer and more beautiful than the two dates we tried in October.
We had a blast. The photographer, Rochelle, was really sweet and loved what a willing model you were. Funny - turns out that Rochelle is from Goshen - the town next to my hometown! Small world...
I can't wait to see how Rochelle's photos turned out... because the few I was able to snap just melt my heart...
Goofing around with Rochelle...
This next one takes my breath away...
