family photo session

/ Keeping Up with the Carpenters / Leave a comment

A few weeks ago, we did a quick family photo session with Kristin Harris photography. I say quick because we had an hour with Kristin but probably used about 30-40 mins of it since Drew could only handle so many smiles for the camera.

We decided to do professional photos for a few reasons: 1) I totally failed and forgot to take Drew’s 18 month photos, 2) for my dad’s birthday earlier this year, we said we would pay for him, my mom and Drew to get photos together and 3) we rarely get family photos with the three (almost four) of us so thought it would be a good time to do so.

Although the session went fast, Kristin managed to capture some really great photos. Below is a slide show of some of the photos – my personal favs are the ones of Drew and Pearl (of course) and our attempt at some HGTV poses. 🙂

For Drew’s first birthday, Rivers and Larry bought him a keyboard. I think they saw how much he enjoyed playing with the keyboard at my parents house, they thought he should have his very own. Lucky kid!

He seems to be really interested in musical instruments so perhaps he’ll be a musician someday.  Guess we’ll wait and find out but in the meantime, rock on, Drew!

Also, I captured this video prior to Drew getting his first haircut. Although it was nice to clean up his hair a bit, I do miss the long hair he had going on there.
