I took the time to schedule a Family Photo Shoot last October. My amazingly-talented photographer, Candace Claeys, took the time to drive all the way to the spot I had requested. My family took the time to get all ready with "Mom-approved" outfits. The older three were compliant. Titus James just wasn't having it - refusing to smile in every. single. picture.

It was frustrating, and slightly embarrassing.

And then, I scooped Titus up in my arms and looked at my amazing husband. His eyes assured me that we were just going to roll with it. I found comfort there. Assurance there. An "it's all good, Babe" there.

We shared a laugh and Jeremiah brought me back down to the reality that this is us - Randleman’s rolling with it.

And then *click*... Candace captured a moment that wasn't planned or posed. Just me looking at my favorite person in the whole world who gave me the most incredible gifts that spill and gush and cry - and even scream - JOY.

If you need a photographer, book her. She's brilliant.

If you need a moment, take it.

And if you need to know that "it's all good, Babe" - take a look at this moment and enjoy my absolute favorite picture of our entire October Family Photo Shoot.
