Our little family got our photos taken by a professional this year, in the hopes that we’d get better shots and have less stress (from trying to set up a tripod and timer ourselves).
At first, I felt a little silly getting professional photos taken when we don’t have kids, but I’m so happy we did. It’s nice to have some “good” pictures of us, regardless of whether we have a little one.
We were really happy to work with Erin with Candid Moment Photography. She was wonderful and was able to capture some great family photos for us – which is a huge accomplishment when we have two squirmy and uncooperative pugs and a husband who really isn’t a fan of getting his photos taken.
Here are a few of my favorites.
I just sent my Christmas cards with a few photos. I’ll share the card soon.
If you are in the Quad Cities, I highly recommend Erin. Check her out!
Do you get family photos taken?
That looks so fun! I’d like to do professional photos for our 5 year anniversary next fall but it might take me 5 years to talk John into it. Any tricks you used to get Ryan to go for it?
LOVE!!!!!
Kim, these are fabulous! Such a cute little family!
Love these all Kim! I love it when couples schedule photo sessions, even if they don’t have kiddos yet. There’s just something magical about having those photos just of them–I always imagine future kids will love looking at them 🙂
Thanks for posting this! We were contemplating doing the same thing (having pro pictures taken even though we don’t have kids). These look amazing! I think we might take the plunge next summer…
These are great! I love that you included your pups, too. : )
I love that you got professional photos taken! Such a good idea. And what do you mean you don’t have kids…you have pug kids!!!
Fantastic family photos! The first one is my fave!
You’re not the only ones. We got professional photos of us and our dog a few years ago.
That top picture is my favorite! You guys look great! I would love to have some good pictures of just Brian and I!
Wonderful pics- you have an adorable family!!! 🙂
Kids don’t define a family. Glad you sprung for professional shots of your family.
very cute! that last one is darling!
These look great!! The dogs look like they were on their best behavior! 🙂 I’ve been trying to get my little family together to do this all month and have failed miserably. I think I’m just going to take a picture of Joseph in front of the tree all lit up and call it done.
I always wished we had taken more professional photos before our little one arrived. The photos are great. You are such a cute couple.
You guys look adorable!
Beautiful pictures, Kim! You guys are such a sweet family!
Your photos turned out great, love the pups 🙂

Kim,
These pictures look awesome! I especially love the first one (you two just look so natural).
Alex and I had professional photos taken a couple years ago and I still love looking at them. And dogs are just as much your children as babies are.
Merry Christmas!
Beautiful pictures! and your dogs are sooooo cute!
Great pictures! I totally agree–it’s nice to just have nice photos of the two of you, with or without kids. I felt silly getting photos taken before our baby was born, too, but I’m so glad to have them now! Your pics look fantastic!
The last one on the steps is my favorite I would totally blow that sucker up and place it properly over the mantle.
These are amazing! My fav of the whole fam is the first one. The one of yall’s feet and the pups is amazing. Blow that one up huge!
LOVE your family photos!!! That’s something that I’d definitely love to do if I ever get my act together. 🙂 You’re going to love having those pics!
Very cute! I love doing professional pictures, they come out so nice and are so much fun!
Love your photos and especially love your pugs!!
What a perfect little family! My beautiful daughter and handsome son-in-law and our two gorgeous grand-dogs! Life is good!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone. I’m just stopping by random blogs today and checking them out. Also wishing you folk’s a healthy and happy new years. Richard from an Amish community in Pennsylvania.
LOVE the pictures!! We said we were going to do professional pictures this year….but we didn’t. We actually didn’t do ANY pictures and failed at sending out cards this year, too. Maybe next year???
I love the close-up of the two of you. Really great picture!
Great photos! We got ours taken professionally this year, too – and we don’t have any kids. Just two pugs! 🙂 Great minds think alike.
Great pictures!
I always enjoy family picture day!

They are beautiful! We also felt really awkward getting our pics taken this year, but they really are something I treasure now. And seriously, those pugs… adorable!
Awwww, the pugs are so cute. You two aren’t bad either. 😉
Beautiful pics!! And your boots are super cute!
I love Erin … I think she does fabulous work … but she had a really cute couple to work with!
Those are fabulous shots!! Love the first one, especially. I wish that T and I had more photos like that. Your boots are super cute too. 😉
