Family Photo Shoot
I love family photos! Other people's, my own, it doesn't matter. There's something comforting to me about family photos. Josh does not share my affection for them. Last year at Christmas, we were hard-pressed to find a single one in our Olan Mills photo shoot where he was smiling. His face in almost every picture said, "My wife dragged me in here." It was cute in an irritating sort of way. We can laugh about it now. :) I've figured out it's the formal photo shoot that he bucks against. He much prefers candid shots.
When we were in Connecticut last August, our friend Cory Hoover offered to take pictures of our family. Josh got his pasted-on smile ready, and we headed over to her backyard. Me excitedly, him not so much. BUT when we got there, Cory told us that the best pictures are candid anyway. The less-posed you look, the better. Here are some of my favorites from that photo shoot.
The group shots especially tickled me! I'm only showing you 2 of them, but really there were about 20, and in NOT A SINGLE ONE is every person looking at the camera. In about the last 6, Brianne and Titus both were crying, Jen and I were laughing, the grandparents were looking concerned.... maybe I should have shown you those. :)
P.S. Josh had a great time!
