Our 2018 Family Photos

| |

This season of life we’re in is such a fleeting one! Our little Sophie-girl will be turning one in a matter of days (so bittersweet!). I’m always a fan of snagging photos whenever we can. Even though they take effort and patience, they’re always worth it. I’m convinced that they become even more precious to us over time.

Bjorn and I have gotten more and more into taking our own family photos over the past several years. I think it has coincided with our photography skills improving over time, plus we feel even better about photo sessions when we haven’t had to pay for them! 😉 For the record, I’m not anti-photographers or anti-photo-sessions. I love them! And I’d even love to offer more family photography myself in the future. But we’ve just found that this approach works well for us.

For this year’s photos, we were lucky enough to have my sister-in-law Signe willing to help us out! She snapped the photos of the three of us! And then Bjorn took the photos of Sophie and me, and I took the ones of him with our little girl. I’m so grateful for these shots. I’ll definitely have to print a couple of them off and get them hanging up in our house! 🙂

Here are my favorites from our little session!

    1. Thank you, Sierra! Yes, I’m so glad we got some of them in our own field!! If we’re going to be taking field pics, then they might as well be ours! 😉 Thanks for following along!

    1. Thank you so much, Brianna!! Yes, I totally recommend doing it! It’s a great way to save money, and then you can do a little photo session for as long (or as short) as you want! And Jessie Martin (@hellojessiemartin) has that webinar next week where she teaches you to take your own photos! 🙂
