It happens every October. I prepare for it and even know it's coming and I still get caught up in the whirlwind of fall family sessions. I am always so humbled by the amount of people who choose me out of the Many photographers out there to take their family pictures. I get so busy making their families beautiful that I sometimes forget about making sure my own family is picture ready. This year I decided I was going to pick my favorite session spot and take a few pics of my own kids. Maybe I would even get inspired to print a few. I had a cancellation one day and told the boys to get dressed and we would run and take a few pictures. (I may or may not have bribed them with McDonalds for lunch.) Drove to our spot, got the kids in place, and looked through my camera to check my lighting. It was then that I realized my kids had not had a haircut since, well, I don't know when. I just had to sit there and laugh. Not that they were complaining! Haircuts are not exactly something they look forward to. I snapped a few anyway because this is what they looked like at that moment in time. Long hair and all! We found another day, (rainy day actually) got haircuts and took another set of shots. I love my handsome boys.
