Venhaus Family | Family Photography | Greenville, IL Family Photographer

Several weeks ago my family had their portrait taken for our Christmas Card. As always, I asked my talented friend, Megan Diekemper – Diekemper Photography, to tackle this chaotic group! I’m so thrilled with how they turned out! And thanks to my fabulous friends at Perfectly Polished Salon, my hair, make up and nails were on point!

You would have never known that during this session it had poured rain for about 20 minutes to the time we stepped out of the car and then started back up as we were walking back to our cars. We had a melt down from our 3 year old, who had just been woken up from a nap….of course he fell asleep 10 min before arriving to our location! My 1 year old was a little spit-fire, falling into the wet and muddy grass about 4 times. Shocked? Not in the least.   And although my husband wasn’t thrilled about the attire I had chosen, I quickly reminded him that he wasn’t wearing matching PJ’s like last year… so just fake it and smile! Now my 8 year old was a prefect princess and for that I am thankful! But seriously, when did she get so mature? And isn’t she gorgeous?!

Thanks again Megan for everything. I want all my Unforgettable Families to remember that I’ve been where you’ve been. Family photos are never easy to get ready for, but man are they worth it in the end! 🙂
