I think the only family photo we have is from when I had my youngest son. I was sitting in the hospital bed with one boy on one arm the oldest on the other and my husband leaning in. We've never had a professional family photo done but would love to have one. Do you guys have a family photo?
We do take family photos every other year. However we don't get it professionally done. We just take our digital camera and go on a nature hike. Find a nice spot set up the tripod and take it ourselves. Then we take it to walmart and use the machine to make the prints we need. It is a lot cheaper.
It's been awhile since we have had one done. I am a photographer so I usually do one but I have been so busy lately I haven't had time. I need to make some soon.
We never had a professional portrait done as a family. Through college, I had a few done from time to time and a couple of times, we had professional shots of our dogs, but never the family.
We go to a professional photographer every year around Thanksgiving then we send pictures with all the Christmas cards. We also have lots of pictures of all of us together on outings and vacations, but we like to do the one formal picture every year too.
