We got our family pictures back and I could not be more happy with how they turned out! Pictures are so important to me so I made a goal to get professional pictures taken of my family once a year. You can see last years photos HERE.
Family Pictures 2020
My cousin and her business partner took our family pictures and they did such an amazing job! They knew exactly how to position us and what to do to get the boys to look at the camera. They were very patience which is a must when your are trying to get pictures with two toddlers!
I’m so glad my cousin suggested taking pictures with each of my boys individually. I am so use to taking pictures with both of them at the same time I forget to take individual ones. I know they will appreciate having their own photos with me, I know I love the ones I have with my parents.
After Justin passed away it was hard for me to imagine family pictures without him. It had been something I looked forward to and now it felt like life’s events had taken that away from me. The more I started to think about it, the more I realized I was the one choosing to let that be taken from me. It was almost like cancer was still controlling my life. It had taken so much from me already and I didn’t want it to take one more thing!
So instead of Justin holding one baby and me holding the other, I was holding both. I don’t want to stop doing things because my life turned out differently than I expected. As hard as it is to do these things I really want to try and keep doing them!
If you live in Utah County and want family pictures done please check out Kindred Duo Productions. They were beyond amazing and did so well! I love the quality of their pictures and how patient they were with the boys and I! They helped create life long memories for us!
Do you get family pictures each year? What do you love about getting family photos?
![I have some new followers so I thought I would introduce myself again. Hi I’m Jenn, but my friends call me Coco (nickname from college). My husband passed away from Cancer over three years ago. We were able to get pregnant through IVF. We put in one embryo and it split!😱 Justin got really sick right before they were born and we weren’t sure he would make it to their birth. We were able to spend a couple months together as a family before he passed away. You can read more about my story in the link in BIO☝️
The boys are 3 years old! 😱 Their names are Marshal and Everett. We live with my parents and they finished their basement so the boys and I can live there! ❤️
About my blog: I had a blog while my husband had cancer. It was just a space for people to get updated on how he was doing. After he passed away I stopped writing and my friends and family encouraged me to start again. I didn’t want my corner of the internet to just be about cancer or just be about life as a widow. I wanted to create a space I could share my all, but not be defined by my trials.
So it might be a little different than normal blogs. I love sharing motherhood stuff, as well as photography DIYs, but also life as a widow. It’s been such a great place for me! It helps me get out of bed and brings me joy! I’ve even been able to share other people’s stories and help more people feel less alone in their trials. You can see more of their stories on my other account @cocoscaravancommunity (give it a follow ❤️)
I’m now starting to turn my blog into a business so I can be home with the boys! It’s been so wonderful and I have all of you to thank for that! It would also mean the world to me if you subscribed to my blog and follow along there as well! [link in BiO]
Thank you always for the love and support! I truly love the community I have found here! ❤️
I’m doing a Q&A in my stories today if you want to learn more! Thanks again ❤️

You are blessed with those gorgeous boys and they are with a strong committed mom like you are to them.
Look forward to the next few years as they grow although – not sure how you feel as their mom- at the same time I enjoy seeing them so little. 🥰
