This fall our sweet friend took our family pictures again. I love them, and I am so happy this has become a tradition for us. Erin Rodgers is not only a talented photographer but a very thoughtful friend, too. She wanted to honor Gabriel and help us remember him by gifting us with family photos. I am so thankful she did this.
I had actually thought about booking fall pictures with her this year, but then I thought that I didn’t want to take family pictures this year – that it would be too hard. I wouldn’t have done it without some gentle nudging from her, and I’m so thankful for that. Now we have pictures for this year, and in the future I will be able to look back and remember how those pictures were taken during our hardest season. It’s a really special thing to have.
We were also able to bring along our Gabriel bear. Obviously, I missed having our sweet G in our family pictures, but it was neat to have a symbol for the member of our family who is missing in the pictures. Plus, Jack thought it was so special to bring his Gabriel bear and get to take pictures with him.
Erin, thank you for these sweet pictures. We love them, and I’m glad you encouraged me to do this even though it was hard this year. We are so thankful for you!!
So glad you had these taken too, Sweetie! They are just beautiful…
Beautiful pictures, Lauren! Little Jack is so precious! Love you guys!
These photos are gorgeous! Where did you have them taken?
