Here’s the Frandsen family who I’ve known since these no longer little kids were, well, little. Christine told me she’s wanted to get family pictures for years, but one thing or another caused her to put it off. But this will be the last year all four kids will be living under the same roof so it seemed like a pretty good time to schedule something.
When I look at this first image of all of them together, I don’t just see a well-dressed, happy family (though there’s that, for sure). I see a mom who finally said, “This is the time for getting a family picture.” And in that resolution, a little bit of calm before the next chapter — before kids move out and life starts to take a uncharted direction.
And now she has these pictures to remember it all and to remember this exact feeling. She’s got these picture to remember not just how everyone looked — but how it felt to be together.
