So while I LOVE taking pictures of my kids- I dread taking the family picture. Not because I don't want one, or not because I won't treasure it with my entire heart... but because of the work that goes into actually getting 11 people all looking put together and looking at the camera is no easy task.
A sweet family friend, Ashley, (thanks Ashley!!!!) came over and took our picture yesterday before Travis left back to college-and let me tell you she had her work cut out for her. We battled the heat, we battled the sun in our faces- but we persevered through it all- in the name of getting a family picture. :) Just thought you might enjoy seeing the 'before' and 'after'. Made me laugh.
And here are a few more of the finished product. :) We love you Travis and we will miss you dearly!!!

Love,love, love them all! You are such a beautiful family, both inside and out and it shows through and through each picture. Of course I especially love Addisyn's shirt, ;) I am not looking forward to the day my first born is gone to school, so hard for a momma's heart.
Gorgeous photos!
Awwww.. Amy these are great pictures! I LOVE all of them!
You have a beautiful family. We struggle to get 3 kiddos sitting and looking forward. Your pics are great!
Awesome!!! Your family just makes me smile!
very nice photos!!
Beautiful family you have!
Oh in the first picture, Mrs. Bloc, you have Mya's head stuck under your arm! haha
The pictures are so good. I especially like the one with the kids looking around the tree at mom and dad. You have a beautiful crew.
Haven looks like just a little peanut. She is so small but big in personality.
gorgeous and fun and adorable inside and out! Love you all!!

Hugs and much love from a Mom who gets it with family photos LOL!

Love all the pictures Mrs. Amy! Ashley is a great picture taker! Looks like our church youth group. Such a big family but a pretty small youth group! Haha! Love you all Mrs. Amy!
LOVE the 'blooper' shot. (and here I thought all your pics came out perfect!) :)
The one with you & hubkins looking into each others eyes is my favorite though. The core. Beautiful.
My heart is in the floor! So adorable I melted.
I'm in awe of your adorable and blessed and LOVELY family!
Love these!!!!!
Love the photos and love the Blocks! I prefer the "before" photos. I just think they are so real and they always make me laugh and warm my heart. The top one is downright hilarious! It looks like you're giving Todd the business and the kids all look scared. And I LOVE Mya's head under your arm.
Sweet family. So many blessings.
Much love,
Amy
We just love them! Well worth all the trouble to get a picture of everyone together. :)
Okay, ya'll are the cutest family! And I can't even imagine trying to get 11 people to look at the camera and smile! We have a hard time with just the 5 of us! :)
They are so beautful. The first one is great. Loved all the shirts too. You are all so beautiful! Love the Funks
