Porch Pictures

On a random Thursday by sweet friend Katelyn texted me and said, "I need you to be outside your house ready for family pictures tomorrow morning at 10." That was it! She had arranged for a photographer to come do pictures of their family on their front porch (a thing people are doing right now with Coronavirus and the need for social distancing/also to commemorate this time we are all at home all the time). She had the photographer do their family and then sent her across the street to do ours!

So with very little stress I put the kids in clothing that was somewhat presentable and curled my hair and we went out on our front porch for just a few minutes and she took the most darling picture! Ben was even in the middle of a meeting via Zoom, and he just stepped outside so we could do this really quickly!

 I love how this picture turned out! I printed it big to put on the wall, so Lila is officially in our family picture now! Also, my heart just swells with gratitude and love when I see this picture- so much love for my husband and kids- and also love for friends like Katelyn who have served and loved us! There is so much good in the world.

 She asked me if we wanted any other pictures and I asked her to take some of Lila- I'm so glad I did because they turned out so precious! My only regret is that I didn't have her take some of the other kids! Since I hadn't arranged it (or paid for it) I didn't want to ask too much. These pictures of Lila just melt my heart- this little one is a dream come true!
