GET ON IT.

I read this article yesterday, and it spoke to me.

I’m a procrastinator.

It’s a trait about myself that I dislike. (It’s also a trait that drives my husband CUH-RAZY.)

Thanksgiving is in a couple days (yaaaay!) and then it’s Christmas season.

And I’m realizing that we STILL HAVEN’T HAD FAMILY PHOTOS TAKEN.

We scheduled them a few weeks back but then cancelled because of illness.

It would be so easy to just skip family photos this year. Not purposely; we just get busy and keep thinking, “Oh yeah, we need to do that…” And it never happens.

But as soon as I finish this blog post, I’m going to set up the date and time. Because after Christmas has come and gone, I will be sooo very glad that we took the time and made the effort to have our little family captured right now, in this season of life.

And in five years… ten years… twenty years… I won’t remember much about Christmas 2011. But I’ll have photos – of my baby girl’s scrunchy-nosed grin, my toddler’s adorable piggy tails, me and my husband cuddling them and kissing them and tickling them – and I will be SO VERY GRATEFUL.

I’m still in the Boise area until the New Year. If you’re like me and haven’t scheduled your family shoot yet, get on it. I’ve got a couple spots available and would LOVE to do your family shoot.

What is holding YOU back from booking a family photo session?
