The Big Reveal {Family Photos 2013}

When I thought about having kids, what I really thought about was having babies. About diapers and late nights, first words and other milestones. I didn't think much about what it would be like to have kids in school, doing homework and being involved in extra-curricular activities. I didn't think about having teenagers or how my relationship will change with my kids once they are in college. I think about it now, though.
My kids aren't babies anymore. And, honestly, I am grateful for that. They are little people, nearly 11, 8 and 5. They have their own thoughts, feelings and interests, and make them known to me daily. They are unique to themselves, despite being raised by the same parents. And, I know they will continue to change, not just in a physical way, but in an emotional way as well.
That's one of the reasons, I wanted to capture them now, in this moment. Because so much is going to change. I don't want to freeze time or keep them from growing up, I simply want to document each moment, as it is. Our family photos, did just that...

P.S. In case you missed my posts on how to prepare for family photos, how to choose what outfits to wear, and what not to do during your photo shoot, see my previous posts here and here.
P.P.S. A huge thank-you to Kimi-G Photography for taking all of the amazing photos!
