We have been in the habit of doing a Family Photoshoot every couple years. But, with this being the last year of Zach and Zandra being at home, and Gabe soon starting the next chapter (or is it a whole new book??) of his life, we wanted to squeeze an extra one in.
We asked our friend/photographer Emily Lim to take them again, and loved how she captured our family – and the silliness too. She also got to see the drama and spice of life that we all live with too – but she politely didn’t document that. (But it will be a funny memory to see all these smiling faces while remembering how mad I was at a few choice spirits when they broke out into a fight…. I constantly have to remember that the times with this kind of drama, upset, frustration etc. are often the best stories to remember later and keep it real now in the times of “perfect glossy smiley pictures”)
I am going to share a ton of pictures (and unfortunately they aren’t perfectly ordered, despite me uploading them in the right order?!?!) Feel free to abandon this post right now, because this kind of blog post is purely for my later viewing pleasure:)
Love this of them; they goof around all the time:

Some individual shots. Zandra was more keen to have more taken and I think more just turned out so you’ll notice more of her:)
