We also had some family portraits taken one night . Those were a lot of fun too , mainly because the photographer and her assistant ( a husband - wife team ) were so fun to work with . I took some pictures over the week , but as I ' m out of the apartment at the moment , I have n't been able to upload them . I 'll post them when I can . I think it 's dawned on my parents that come August 22nd , I ' m going to be across the nation . Not just three hours away , but in California .
Why did my parents want professional family photos taken now ?
