I’m so thrilled to be sharing some family photos we took last week! Gordon suggested we send out some Christmas cards this year since SO MUCH has changed in our lives, but I didn’t want to send out cards with the old family photos (from when Porter was a baby a year ago!) SO! I reached out to a friend, who isn’t officially a photographer but does a great job, and asked if she could pretty please take our pictures. She agreed under the condition that I edit all the photos, which I was happy to do! So she agreed Thursday, we took them Friday morning and I had the cards ordered by Saturday. Ha!
If you’re not getting a Christmas card from us this year, consider this your sneak peek! I’m sharing my very favorites and hope you enjoy them as much as we do! While we have things happen in our lives that are not ideal, these photos help me remember just how blessed we are.
I know I’ll get a million questions about the outfits, so here’s everything I know:
My dress is found here…I have the emerald green. My heels are here. (I have these heels in three different colors. They are such a great, all-purpose style.)
My boys suits are here….technically the jacket is here and the pants are here. (Truly the best suits!! I’ve bought them two years in a row in the next size up for my boys because of the quality and how well they fit.) Watch for sales!! These are currently 20% off!
Brooke’s jumper is over a year old and unavailable, but there’s a similar one found here. Her pearl hair clip was from a larger pack from Amazon, found here. (Comes in a big pack for under $10.)
Gordon’s and Blake’s ties are a few years old from J.Crew Factory but they have very similar ones here.
