family pictures!

dudes.  duuuuuuudes.

if you know me in real life then you might know what a big deal this is.  if you don't?  just know that it's a pretty big deal.

we literally haven't had good family pictures taken since parker's been born.  nadda.  i know what you're thinking... "amy.  you take pictures of families all the time!  what's wrong with you?"  ummm, well, i haven't figured out how to take a picture of my own little family whilst also being in front of the camera.  i was complaining about this predicament to a friend who said, "ah yes.  the cobbler's son has no shoes."  exactly lindsey, exactly.

so even though this picture is far from the dream family photo i have locked away in my head {obviously sam's first choice of picture attire wouldn't be a white shirt & tie... but it was after church & it will have to do} i'm gonna take it.  and my left side isn't even my "good" side... but?  it will do.  and so what if, as sam said, parker looks like a sixteen year old girl wearing her boyfriend's shirt?  i kinda love it.  and for the record, his socks do match.  you just can't see the red stripe on his right sock.  and yeah, i realize sam & parker are making the same scowl-ish expression.  i kinda love that too.

to me?  this picture is imperfectly perfect.


a big thanks to my sister gina for taking it.

and for good measure, here is a picture that my sister took from our last trip down there in september.  it's a few months old but i love it nonetheless!  can i have that tan back please??


i should mention that sam got me a camera remote for christmas.  i suppose there is the possibility of setting the camera up on a tripod & seeing what i can get... but for now?  this will do!

  7. I love that both Sam & Parker have the same expression like "yah yah I'll stand here for this picture, whatever". Classic. And... I want your cardi!

  12. I think your family is adorable! And that picture is good... maybe not perfect but it's much better than the last family picture we got! Zane is crying in it. So be happy your son is at least smiling somewhat!! ;)

  15. I love this photo of your family! Will is over a year old now and there is no photo of the three of us in the same shot in existence. I have a tripod and a remote, but a very uncooperative husband.
