Family Photos: 2012 Edition

Every year since Isabella's birth we've had family photos taken.  This year we contacted Kim Davis, who had taken our photos last year, to schedule a session.  In the past we have taken the photos near Isabella's birthday, but with the brutally hot summer we had I decided to wait until fall.  I thought the cooler weather and changing leaves would be nice for photos. I scheduled the session for October 13 because my 20 week ultrasound had been scheduled for October 12 and I thought it would be fun to incorporate a few gender reveal photos.  Things change, huh?

We wound up taking these photos a week later because the 13th was a cold, drizzly day.  It was definitely chilly the day these were taken, but I'm happy with how they turned out.  I did tease Clint about the fact that he seemed to screw up all the photos I looked good in. :)

I wanted to make sure Leo was included in the photos in some subtle way, so you'll find little nods to him in these photos.

Sometimes it's hard to go about life as planned when everything has changed, but I'm glad I went ahead with this photo session. My little three year old is at such a fun and frustrating age, and I feel like we were able to capture the sweetness and joy she brings to our lives. I honestly don't know what I would do without her.
