I love the opportunity for Millie Holloman Photography to shoot pics of my family. She and her photographers are great! So today, we went out and had a blast with them.
Being a mother to three boys, there is a little work that goes into getting everyone ready. It doesn’t just happen. I usually pick out what I am going to wear first and then coordinate the boys with what I am wearing. Not so we look like we match just in the same color family. I make sure everyone wears solids and leave the pattern to Bryan.
Of course we have hair to deal with. Gabriel’s hair requires alot of product and styling. I use the same products on his hair as I do on mine, texture shine, headrush, and masterpiece. Noah has great hair, but it requires me to blow it dry since it is so long. Adam’s hair just needs a good combing. I leave my hair until last.
I made sure my toes were painted a pretty color. They like feet shots so I wore some cute platform sandals with hot pink toes. I like to be prepared for whatever they may do.
I had a little mishap with the sun yesterday and missed some places with sunscreen. Covered those up with some great makeup and blended it all in with a sponge. Millie couldn’t even tell.
I carried a bag with snacks (almonds and granola bars nothing messy) and water due to the warm humid weather. This really helps keep the boys happy and hydrated. I also carried the styling products, makeup and brush in the bag just in case.
We had fun just being together as a family while they took pictures of us. The boys did great and I was so proud of them. Can’t wait to see the pics

Ughh! The thoughts of a family photo shoot right now makes me feel a little nauseous and on edge.
It is SAD that we have yet to have one done. I want one SO bad, but with Olivia and Jackson’s ages, I have honestly been to afraid to shell out good money and then the shoot turn into a wreck because they’re going all crazy on us.
I know, I’m somewhat of a control freak.
Anyway, I can’t wait to see yours!!! I know they’re going to be amazing. I don’t Millie can shoot anything less than that.
BTW…..Your husband busted on some amazingly good Word today, and I’m am SOOOOO excited about where we are all heading together next.
You guys are already amazing leaders and we are proud to serve Him under your leadership.
Here we go!!!
