FAMILY : Harvey 2012

Our Saturday Thanksgiving is my absolute most favorite day of the year.  I am so thankful for my family and thankful we get to spend an entire day capturing memories.  (Don’t know why we have Saturday Thanksgiving? View this post!)

We had so much fun last year doing our girl’s photo shoot last year we knew we wanted to do it again.  Us girls got together early Saturday morning and headed to a park by my parent’s home. 

 

My sister even took some pictures of me this year!

My mom is gorgeous.  Beautiful person inside and out!

<3 the leaves falling in this picture!

We headed back to my parent’s house and got the guys together to take some family photos.  The light couldn’t have been more perfect.  I am IN LOVE with these pictures.

Me and my hubby actually got some pictures together too. 

For those of you that do not know my mom, she loves to entertain.  She truly has a gift when it comes to entertaining – she just puts so much effort into it to make everything pretty and special.  This thanksgiving she had the table set with my Great Grandma’s china and glasses passed down to her from my Nana.  

Below is my youngest brother with my husband (L), my dad smoking the turkey legs (C) and my husband and my dad (R)!

I truly look forward to Thanksgiving Saturday with my family and I really hope this tradition continues.  Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed!

FAMILY : Harvey 2011

 I never got around to showing these pictures on my blog last year, but better late than never!

Most of you probably know that I married someone from New York so the way I spend the holidays is a little out of the norm (from how I grew up anyways).  Since I have been married, I have spent every Thanksgiving in NY and my family was awesome enough to change the way they celebrated Thanksgiving so Derek and I could be a part of it every year.  Now, instead of Thanksgiving being celebrated on a Thursday, we celebrate on the Saturday before. 

Two years ago we got together early on our Saturday Thanksgiving and had a photo shoot with just us girls while the boys went to the shooting range.  We spent the morning at the Savage Mill and had an absolute blast!  We were having so much fun in fact, I had a family stop and book a session with me for the next day.  How fun!

We had so much fun doing this we decided to make this a new Harvey family tradition.   I adore these images we got; they are something I will treasure for years to come.  Sessions like this are why I LOVE photography.  A photograph captures a memory.  Even if you forget the moment you can look back on the picture and remember how life was that day. I hope you enjoy these pictures!!
