thought I would let you know a bit more about me
every year on my birthday
i ask my kids for 2 things
the first and most important is to write in my birthday journal.. they can write a letter, or whatever they want, or draw a photo. and write their age on it. (they do this on mothers day as well). its my most important possession.
the second, which is below, is to take a few photos together for me.
and here is what we got this year.
and yes, Im not above asking a stranger on the beach to take a photo or two so I could hop in there.
how do you get your kids to pose? or do you?
let’s hear.

awww man, your kids, so awesome. love your youngest, he always has this look on his face i want to pick him up and squish him. Great birthday wish list.
great looking kiddos & fun, fun shots!! every once in awhile i let my kids throw in some of their own ideas about poses. in edits they love to ask to see the ones they posed for. i love their giggles when they see how it turned out.
Love these photos, as always. I totally want to start the journal idea. That sounds so simple and such a treasure!
I’m just an amateur photographer. But, I actually usually ask to go to the beach for my bday where I take lots of photos, but not an official photoshoot. I mostly don’t have them pose. Every once in a while I might ask my oldest to jump or something and then every once in a while they will all get together. The Christmas card is another story. A crazy, painful, anxiety ridden story. Mostly because I wait until the last minute. 😉
