Mother's day family portraits - {Albuquerque family photography}

It's Mother's Day! (Or, well, it was yesterday.) Our family tradition is to take family pictures on Mother's Day, when everybody is happy to cooperate with me and we have a good time. (Maybe my husband would disagree about being happy to cooperate, but he's a great sport and I appreciate it.)  This year I decided to stick to simple and we did pictures in our own back yard.  The kids were super good and we got some family portraits that I love.



Lots of fun silly pictures.  This is just one of many.  We call it "tickle party!"






My big girl is growing up so fast.


Every time I look at a picture of my son I wonder where all his teeth went.  He lost a bunch, and some aren't even trying to grow back!  He doesn't seem to care.


Sometimes it's hard to get a good smile out of your own kids. :)


And here is my drama princess, always avoiding eye contact with the camera.




All these, plus a bunch more silly pictures, a quick fire ant attack, a bunch of marshmallows everywhere, and everything done in maybe 30 minutes? I love my family. Thanks guys!
