This is Us

My family cooperated for some pictures today. It was extremely cold, the lighting was difficult to work with because of the time of day we went, and ultimately none of us was happy with how we looked in the pictures. But... wrinkles, acne, wind-blown hair, too much smile, no smile, sweaters that make our hips look too wide... the reality is that this is who we are and what we look like at this moment in time. There will never be a perfect time and we will never look perfect. I think we will all look back one day and not see any of those flaws in these pictures anyway. So, here are some pictures from today. For better or worse, this is us.
