I’m the world’s worst about getting family photos taken. Don’t get me wrong, I’m constantly taking pictures of the children and Ryan, but since I’m the one always taking the pictures, I’m always left out of the photos.
However, this year, thanks to my friends over at Nautica, our family pictures turned out absolutely amazing. With the help of my mother and a tripod, we were able to capture all of us, hand in hand.
I absolutely love these pictures. I was always jealous seeing other family pictures taken in interesting places and I think my mom, my Canon camera and our tripod did a great job of capturing this shot.
On November 7th, Nautica launched the Holiday Well Wishes Photo Project and as part of this project, Nautica will donate $5,000 to Charity: Water to fund a project that will provide clean drinking water for a community in a developing nation. Charity: Water uses 100% of the public donations to directly fund sustainable water solutions in areas of greatest need. Unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. To join the Holiday “Well” Wishes Photo Project and show support, you can upload a photo of your family wearing Nautica to the Nautica Facebook wall and share how your family gives back during the holidays.
As a special offer to my readers, Nautica is extending a 30% off coupon code good until November 14th. When you shop at Nautica.com, use code BLOG30 to save 30% off your apparel purchase.

Very cute! I need to have family pictures done too! I take thousands of pictures monthly, but only a few have me and they are usually ones I try to take of myself, lol.

Can I just hug all five of you? Love this!
Melissa says
Those are great, they totally look professional! I never thought of trying to set my Nikon up with a tripod. We are really bad at getting family pictures done too. We went to Disney World in September and I’m barely in any of the pics! 🙁
Brandi @ Flip Flop Mama says
What great photos! I love natural looking ones over posey posey stuff.
1stopmom says
This is the exact reason I need a tripod, I am never in any pictures! I love the white tops with blue jeans. Simply beautiful 🙂

Oh yay! I’m so glad y’all got family pictures done. I was always bad about getting ’em done too, but after our first professional photographer experience four years ago, I’ve decided it’s REALLY important and I always love the outcome. We have our scheduled for this weekend, so I’m purdy excited.
FYI, you haven’t lived until you have a railroad tracks picture *love*

I so need our family picture taken. I now know how hard it was for my mom to get everything ready for our annual fall/Christmas picture. And how much it cost…
