Family photos

I love photos.  I don't think I always have - I never thought I looked good in pictures and really I didn't during the awkward years of middle school and some of high school.  At some point right after college, though, when I got my first digital camera and could freely take photos and get the instant gratification of seeing what they looked like and retaking the picture until I was happy with it, I began to love them.  I saw photos as a way of capturing memories that otherwise I may one day forget.  Now that I have a son I take a million potos because I know that each moment and each stage in his life is so fleeting... I want to hang onto just a little part of it.

Last month we had some more family photos taken to celebrate Brady's first birthday.  I've posted most of them on Facebook already, but here are a few of my favorites:

Thank to Jody Lynn Photography for such wonderful photos!  Now if only I had enough wall space to display all of them!
