About a month ago I was just having a rough little day. No big reason, just frustrated with several small things that all put together felt like one big thing. That day I got an email from my sweet friend Carly Cowser Thornock (who took our Smith family pics last fall) wondering if she could practice lifestyle photography on our little family. Of course I jumped at the chance, and immediately my rough day felt so much better! With the boys just having their birthdays I wanted some pictures to document our new 3 and 1 year olds. So for basically free (I paid her one whole dollar so that technically I'm a "paying client"), we got some really wonderful new pictures of our family. We were the first family she did this with they turned out amazing! Carly is an old friend- I've known her pretty much my whole life- so we all felt super comfortable and it was easy to just do our normal thing as she snapped away. I love that she took all these pictures of our everyday normal life.
There are too many pictures to post at once, so I'll be breaking them in pieces. We were planning on making sugar cookies this day anyway. I love that she captured the process: Ben and Chase messing around before hand, making the frosting with my little helper, Chase layering on the sprinkles, Hudson looking longingly at the cookies and then devouring several that Chase snuck him under the guise of being a "good big brother", Ben attacking me with frosting, which is pretty much how it goes down every single time we frost sugar cookies. Thank you so much Carly! These are priceless!
So cute! What a fun day to have preserved; I need to make friends with more photographers!
