Why do I do it?

Family pictures are the worst.

There is so much that you want to go right and look right. 

What is everyone wearing?

Who has a goose egg on their head today?

Is the weather going to cooperate?

When are we going to reschedule when it does start snowing in April?

Whose throwing up today?

Is everyone smiling... a real smile, not their monster smile, or forced smile or pirate smile?

 That being said we finally got some pictures taken with my friend Tammie the other day.

She is a budding photographer and is learning quickly.

The weather still wasn't necessarily the most ideal, 

especially for our summery outfits, but we made it work.

I totally stole my friend Melinda's photo settings for our pictures.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Salt Lake City or the University of Utah campus,

We are on upper campus near the student housing e.g. "our home".

These being our family pictures to mark the occasion of Ryan's medical school graduation, Ryan and I loved the idea of having our home turf be the back drop. 

We lived through another family picture event, with no one really melting down 

and got some cute shots too so we'll chalk it up as a success!
