We decided it was time to get family photos professionally done with my parents and sisters because we had never done that before. Alyse had a lot of fun posing in different ways.
The photographer was Kathy Daly of Kathy Daly Photography. She is a retired yearbook adviser who I know from working as a yearbook adviser. She took photos of Alyse when she was one, and we love her work, so we signed up for a quick session.
Family photos of the whole family together. We did a few different shots of this, resulting in the photo above and below. We wanted Alyse to wear navy, but she chose to wear pink with navy. Alyse can never be without her pink. :)
I love this photo of my parents. My dad did it jokingly, but then Kathy got a shot of it. I just love how happy the two of them look in this photo. They also don't have too many photos of just the two of them, so it is nice to see the two of them together.
We also got a sister shot, which I was happy about. My sisters and I have not had a professional one done in I couldn't tell you how long. I love how the colors we are all wearing just go together so well. Apparently jewel tones were the way to go.
I was really happy with these family photos, but I loved all of the ones with Alyse. She just loves taking photos. People keep telling me to put her in modeling, but I'm not even sure how to get started. I know she loves getting her picture taken, but I don't know if she still would if we ever went that route. But she sure was a ham in these photos. :)
Before the photo shoot, I went on Pinterest and pinned various poses for family photos so we could get some creative shots. This was one of them, with Ben and I kissing in the background. Alyse got into it, posing with her hand on her hip and smiling. I think the photo turned out great.
Family photo! It has been a little while since we did this, and since Ben and I are trying to take professional photos at least once a year, we decided to do this now. We also wanted to use these as our Christmas card photos since it is quickly approaching. I like that Kathy had us do two different poses of our family, and the pose below was by far my favorite. Also, I love that we are all smiling in the photo, which was apparently difficult for Alyse even though she loves having her photo taken.
This is my favorite shot of Alyse. She is just hamming it up an loving every minute of it. She chose her poses on her own. After we were done, she showed me different poses she could have done that she didn't think of during the photo shoot.
I adore this photo of Alyse and I. This is partly because Alyse and I never get amazing photos taken together, and partly because I just love how we are both smiling in it. Like I said, Alyse was having trouble smiling at times, so I would tickle her to get her laughing and smiling instead of just attempting to smile. (She did tell me her face was hurting from smiling, so that could have been part of the problem, but a good problem to have i would say.)
This photo is one that Alyse gasped at when she saw it on Kathy Daly's proofing site. I love it because she is all smiles and she just looks adorable. Alyse had her own mini-photo shoot and got to pose however she wanted to.
I love all of these photos and I am so thankful that Kathy Daly was able to take these photos for us. She has a good eye for photography since she used to be a yearbook adviser, which is a big reason why I love her and highly recommend her.
