Anniversary and a photo session

Sunday marked our one year anniversary. It is amazing to both of us that it has been a year already. In one way we feel like we've known each other and been together for many years, and then again the time feels short.

It was a very romantic day in many ways, but we didn't really do anything as a couple. We didn't go out, and we didn't have much time alone. I was dealing with deadlines for work, and we had the kids.

Earlier in the week we had been talking about Christmas and Christmas cards, so we decided to have some family pictures taken for the cards. I called my friend Scott Turner who is a professional photographer. We had both kids here on Sunday afternoon, and Scott was available, so it was perfect timing.

Scott came to our house to take the pictures. There is plenty of room here and so many areas on the property that are perfect for pictures. We had such a great time. At first the kids were a bit reluctant, but they eventually warmed up. We did some inside shots at the fireplace, some outside, and he had us in different settings and poses outside.

We love all of the pictures, and we have finally chosen our favorite for the Christmas card this year and put in the order with Shutterfly.  Here are some of our favorites from the photo session.
