Tadaaaaa!

We never really had formal photos taken of our family when I was growing up. I'm sure it was because they were expensive to do...especially back then. And I'm assuming the only option was Olan Mills with their cheesy poses.

As uncomfortable as it can feel posing for the camera with the most natural smile you can fake, it is important to do! This time in our lives will only be here for a short moment. I'm so happy we captured it with in very first family photo...tada!

All the credit goes to C. Davis Photography. (She also captured that classic one at the top of the blog...I call it "oh-so-Marshall") She is awesome. And actually makes it REALLY easy to be natural in pictures. She met us at a park around the corner from our house and basically let us be...US! Thank you, thank you, Big C!
