Family Portraits

Because I spent an exuberant amount of money getting my BFA in Photography, I'm torn between two thought patterns. 1: I have my degree in photography, I like my own style, I want to take my own family portraits and it's free! 2: I hate that people think that because they have a nice camera that takes nice pictures they are automatically a photographer, so I would like to pay a professional to take my pictures because I want professional pictures of my family, not just "nice" pictures. 

Anyway, I went with thought process #1 a few weeks ago and went out to a field near my parents house and shot a few family portraits before Caiden started getting too big! We had a photographer take some pictures for us in Rexburg while a videographer shot Caiden's newborn video but I didn't really like them. So despite the fact that the sun was going down and we only had 20 minutes to take pictures before the Ward party I think we got some keepers! Caiden was 6 weeks old in these pictures. I wish I had thought to comb his hair...
