My boys

We got all the boys dressed up and went out for a quick photo shoot before the sun went down. This location is a place I drive by everyday when I leave home and always wanted to do a shoot there... it's a brand new road that is still blocked out, and yet to be open.

It's a little family tradition we do on Thanksgiving every year. We'll get dressed in our winter outfits and go out as a family to take pictures of the kids for the holiday. It's really fun and I enjoy looking back at the photos year after year... seeing the kids' growth. This year, I wanted to try a more urban style setting since I came across this trendy little red tie and shirt set for little Coop at the store that was screaming at me to buy it. It was SO cute, I had to get it.

Mommy Tip of the Day:
I encourage all the mommys out there to start a 'picture taking tradition' with their own family... whether its summer time, winter time or back to school. Don't worry so much about not having the best camera in the world or the best photos to show, that is not the important part. The importance of these photos are to be able to capture your kids personality at that age, documenting them at that stage in their life. Looking back at these photos of the same month, year after year will amaze you.

And if you're a super mom who's very ambitious and organized, putting these photos in a scrapbook album with a title such as "Thanksgiving","Christmas" or "Back to School" would be a wonderful gift for your child someday when he/she grows up. It is a handcrafted gift from you they will treasure for life.

Hope you are all having a fabulous Thanksgiving holiday!

...I still can't believe Christmas is almost here....
