Have you ever looked at someone’s professional family photos and been just a teeny bit envious of their colour coordinated wardrobes, happy, well-behaved children, passionate marriage, and the field with both mountain and ocean views they are lucky enough to live by?
Don’t trust the professional photos, my friends.
They’re beautiful, they’re perfect for walls and remembering that yes, we were all so young and so happy together, but just like a Facebook status update, they don’t tell the whole story.
This is a professional photo of two of my boys, and I absolutely love it and plan to frame it.
This is what the real-life photos look like, and they deserve framing too, because neither shows better than the other that these two really love each other.
Don’t judge a book by its cover, and don’t judge a family by their professional photos :)
LOL so true!!
They are both beautiful and perfect – the fancy professional one, and the real life candid one. =) Your kiddos are adorable!
Loving the playful real photos, I think they always hold a special place in our hearts! Love the story they can all tell!
Oh my, your boys are too cute!
Awwhhh. I think I’d frame the boys wrestling alongside the professional ones, love those sorts of photos – they tell a good story of friendship & all it takes to go the distance.
Love all the pictures but the one from the professional (thanks Sarah!) is the one I frame :) You can use the others in their wedding videos ;)
