We Stick Together.
I cannot explain how much pictures mean to me. I love everything about the simplest photo. The colours, the angles, but more than anything I love that when you look at a picture.. the memories of that day or moment coming rushing in and fill your mind and heart. I have gained a whole new appreciation for picture since I had kids. I want to cherish their every first milestone their cute faces, their funny smiles.. when they do smile. I want to remember. I ALWAYS want to remember. I know everything is done for a reason, and I don't know why I love writing and keeping record of our life so much, but I do. I live and breath it.. it is who I am, and I love it. I know one day my family will cherish it.
This weekend, we were so lucky! Our friends Andrew & Andrea are also Photographers and we decided one day while chatting about how we hate that we both have no real family photos that we didn't take by ourselves with a silly tripod... *Stressful* so we decided that we would just swap family photos! We took their family photos and then just gave them the memory card with all the raw photos on it and then they did the same for us! It was awesome! We both were able to edit them the way we liked to and now we both have a family Photos! This is one of theirs.. What a beautiful family they have!
We each chose two locations. Both of us chose to do some in the country and some downtown. I am sure I drove poor Andrea crazy all week as I stressed about our family pictures.. I am way more comfortable on the backside of the Camera, taking the pictures rather than being in them! But I am so glad we did them.. I LOVE them! And Andrew & Andrea, You will never know how much we appreciated this and you! I will cherish them forever! I really wanted to get some really fun and bright photos! First time for everything! I had a really fun vision and REALLY hoped that I could be able to pull it off! And I would say it was a success! I love them. And although Carter doesn't really like to smile for the camera, he was a good sport during pictures.. plus, the ones he is not smiling in.. I can just appreciate his funny little personality.
I could look at these pictures of my little guys all day. Proud Mama right here!
*KISS*
*HUG*
I cannot believe my baby is two and a half already! What a little heart-breaker. I love you Carter Herbert Reed.
This next picture, I look at it and my eyes water. My entire soul is filled with happiness. I love my two boys so much. I cannot explain the love I have for them. They completely stole my heart!
Bentley is my little happy-go-lucky baby. He is ALWAYS smiling and when he sees me across the room I look at him give him a smile and he smiles so big back. We have a special bond.. one that only him and I share. I am so lucky to have him.
Carter is my pride. He brings me so much Joy. Carter is so special to me. He will always be my first little baby.. he taught me the love between a mother and son. A bond that cannot be broken. I am so lucky to have him.
And then.. there it is.. my entire world in one picture.
Brian you have given me the greatest gifts in the world. You are part of them. I am part of them. They are ours. You are mine and I am yours. How did we become so blessed. We are living our "white picket fence" life. I love you Brian Reed.
As for Brian. He is my everything. I adore him, I cherish him, I will never take him for granted. I will respect him, love him and always be by his side as we walk through this life together making it what we want it to be. I am head over heals in love.
Next was the country photos.. changing outfits in the car... not very easy! But it was fun to have a few candid shots!
This is my family. We are human. We make mistakes, we have bad days, we have good days... but no matter what we stick together.
