Family Photos | Abbey Elaine Photography

Family

9 Sep

Guys. This is totally going to be a photo dump, and I’m not apologizing.

My parents basically never have family photos taken. Our last family session with Bram Photography was five years ago. And prior to that? I was approximately eight years old.

Like I said, basically never.

So when my mom decided that we needed some new family photos (since neither granddaughter was even thought of during her last shoot), we made it happen. She scheduled a session on short notice to avoid harvest, we all showed up on the farm wearing our best blue, and Abbey Elaine Photography did not disappoint. She’s local, friends, and you should definitely look her up. So much goodness!

I’ll stop now. Feast your eyes on the cuteness of my kids. 😉

    GORGEOUS family photos!! We get our first professional pics as a family of four in a few weeks and I cannot wait but am also a little scared about how difficult it’s going to be to get both girls to cooperate!
