Family Pictures! Fall 2011

SOOO the most frustrating thing about being a photographer is that you can create gorgeous memories for everyone but yourself! Every year I attempt to take our own pictures and every year its an epic fail! BUT this year I HAD to make it work! I absolutely cannot afford to hire a photographer to take the kind of images I want and since I always over do it and want to do pictures twice a year....you get the picture (haha)...I will say that this last attempt went 100% better than most. Mason is old enough now to understand the whole tripod, self timer thing and Jake has learned a thing or two about my camera over the years. So here is what we got....

Stay tuned! We are doing family pictures with my family this weekend AND my sisters engagement pictures....should.be.interesting! I am totally packing up my red love seat for the occasion!
