A Picture is Worth...

I absolutely love taking pictures.  My favorite thing to photograph is my family.  These days, there is always a lot of backlash when I bring the camera out, which means I have to decide if it's worth it.  Sometimes the answer is "no", but usually (in my mind at least) the answer is an irrevocable "YES."  Yesterday, I was a bit on the fence about the whole thing.

Christmas Sunday pictures are always worth it...

 ...as well as Christmas present shots....

(Here is one of the best present shots of ALL TIME)

...and Christmas jammies shots....

Santa pictures...not as crucial 

(EX. I did not force the girls into this picture nor did I force the kids to take pics with Santa when they were scared).

 Birthday cake pictures...always worth it. 

Back to school photos, very important...

(Tyson's first day of Kindergarten--eek!)

Easter pictures are one of those non-negotiables. 

 

Well this year, Easter Sunday was a week before Easter.  Kya and Tyson had to be at church 30min early and we did not get pictures done before we left...I did get a couple of Summer. 

 

By the time we got home from church, Summer was asleep and the kids changed out of their Easter clothes, promising next Sunday they would put them back on for pictures EVEN THOUGH WE DIDN'T HAVE CHURCH.

Fast forward to the following Sunday and it was a FIGHT to get them back into those clothes!! Believe me, there were multiple times that I questioned whether it was worth it, but in the end IT WAS....at least to me:)
