Summer Family Photos

I absolutely loved Gerrit’s newborn photos, and I was hoping to get photos done around 3 months, 6 months, and 9 months to remember his first year. But moving to another country kind of threw a wrench into those plans! We hadn’t gotten any proper family photos done since Gerrit was less than a month old, so I have been itching to get some done.

I jumped on the opportunity and had us scheduled for a weekend in July. I figured that even if we only got a few nice photos, you really can’t beat free!

I was thrilled to receive quite a few cute photos of the three of us, plus some cute daddy-and-me and mommy-and-me photos. And some cute ones of Baby G, too, of course! He wasn’t very smiley, but that didn’t surprise me much; he’s been pretty wary of strangers for the past month or so. We still got some cute shots!

  2. I may have to use her again! After thinking she probably didn’t get many good shots, I was pleasantly surprised at how many cute ones we ended up with. πŸ™‚
