Family photos.

We recently took professional photos as a Mothers' Day gift for my mom. I thought it would be nice since we didn't have any professional photos of our extended growing family and my brother and his fiancé were moving to San Francisco for a year. Plus, the last professional photos we took as a group were from our wedding three years ago.

I'm kind of a sucker for professional photos. This was the sixth shoot we've done with Carson (if we're counting maternity photos) and total of eight shoots in the last three years. That is an average of one almost every four months. Luckily, I have an understanding and cooperative husband.

Here are a few of my favorites from that day.
