I only hope to one day be HALF the Mom that my Mom and Mother-in-law have been! Even though I don&#8217;t say it enough, they mean so much to me! I am truly blessed and I thank God everyday for giving me this life. Sometimes I wonder how I got so lucky?<\/p>\n<p>This past Thursday, I gathered my 3 Brothers, my Husband Randy, my sister-in-law Jen, and my brother-in-law Dustin! We headed to City Park at 7pm for some family portraits for our Mama&#8217;s! My grandmother took us all out to dinner afterwards, which was such a treat!! Although none of of us have children yet, it&#8217;s never too late to do something special like this.<\/p>\n<p>Many of you might wonder why people spend so much time, effort and money on pictures. THEY ARE PRICELESS!!! I believe it&#8217;s one of the best gifts that you can give. I loved seeing their reactions, it&#8217;s the best feeling in the world! I hope one day that my photography allows you to feel this way. Loved, appreciated and celebrated!! Life is short &#8211; embrace it!<\/p>\n<p>My Mom said this afternoon&#8230;.. &#8220;JEN! I look at your pictures every day! Finally a shoot of my own children!!&#8221; Then&#8230;..I melted&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Please enjoy these pictures of my family! For this session, we played PASS THE CAMERA! I set all the camera settings and we just took turns photographing each other :)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter\"
