Family Photos | Des Moines Area Photographer

Family photos are always a stressful time and this time was no exception. I’d say we did pretty well considering there were a few tears shed, a lot of yelling, and one obnoxious, barking dog. I’m surprised we got any decent photos at all…and that the neighbors didn’t come outside to see what all the ruckus was.

There is me on the left, then my brother Mike (though he prefers Michael), my mom Cheryl, my step-dad Monte, my younger sister Kristen, and my other brother Jakey (or Jake, Jacob, Bobby. The kid has 15 nicknames).

Jake, turning on the charm.

Michael, being Michael.

Kristen, with her boyfriend Josiah. (Josiah helped us out and snapped that first photo of all of us. He kept us laughing by wiggling his ears 🙂

Bernie, guarding his pile of leaves.

Seriously, he will not let anyone near his leaf pile.

Hope you all are having a wonderful Monday!
