2016 Family Photos [Formal]

A final thanks to Jennie from Guenard Photography for another amazing family photography session. I’m glad we did it when we did, and before Calgary decided to be all rainy (seriously – what is with all this rain that Calgary is experiencing!?!). If you recall, I suffered a “chemical pregnancy” earlier this year – and my body still hadn’t miscarried when our photography appointment came up (and my clothes were getting a little tight). Jennie messaged me when I publicly posted about it (this session was actually suppose to incorporate a “pregnancy announcement” photo), but we decided to keep our appointment anyways. While I continue to make plans for the future, I’m aware that with Evanna’s medical condition, situations can easily arise and we are more prone to huge curveballs (ie.  a hospital admission), so I didn't want to move our appointment in fear of missing this opportunity. Though it’s natural to want to take pictures when everything is “perfect”, I view photos as a way to document life – and like I told Jennie, if I waited to take photos when everything was peachy perfect…. that could mean years before we ever take family photos again.

Our life is messy, but it’s so raw and real. We have been through so much, but it has been these moments that has shaped our family the most. While we may not be at our “best”, we have come such a long way since last year, and I can’t wait to compare things again next year. Besides, our “far from perfect” ICU photos from last year are some of my most treasured.
