Parker Family Photos ~ Adults

When Casey got married Mrs. Charlotte really wanted a picture of our entire family. There were TONS of AMAZING pictures from that day (which I PROMISE I’m going to sort through and post some eventually…there are just, for real, tooooo many good ones to sort through so I keep putting it off!) but with three toddlers and an infant it was tough to get a group photo of ALL of us where everyone was looking at the camera and happy about it. It got us brainstorming and for Mother’s Day we all chipped in and bought Mrs. Charlotte a gift certificate from Captured By Colson. We scheduled an early morning (7:45 am!!!) session with her with the goal of getting as many family photos as possible. The wedding was obviously allllll about Casey and Jordan (as it should be!) but this photo session was allll about Mrs. Charlotte and capturing every single picture combination of our family that she could ever want. 

HUGE thanks to Lindsay as she was SO patient with us. And with our longggg list of picture combos we wanted 😉 When us girls went on our beach trip we made it our mission to find color coordinating outfits for everyone to wear. We didn’t want the typical white shirt and jeans thing. Mrs. Charlotte bought Brittlynn a PRECIOUS outfit that had all the colors we thought would be perfect for our shoot (we wanted to go with browns for Mrs. Charlotte’s living room and also to fit the scenery), so we took that with us and hunted around Jacksonville until we found something for each of us to wear. All 14 of us were beautifully coordinated, if I do say so myself 😉

Mrs. Charlotte also got to pick the location of the shoot. She decided to have it out on the farmland she and Mr. Rusty own. It’s a special place to them (Mrs. Charlotte grew up on the property and it’s where Mr Rusty happened to “break down” and needed a ride from her over 30 years ago…where their love story began!) and made for a beautiful backdrop!

Since there are SO many AWESOME pictures…I’m dividing them all up. First up are all the pics of just the adults. We actually took these last in the order of things as we wanted to get the kids all done first while they were happy 😉 And just so you know you can click on ALL of these pics to make them bigger!

Trey and Jolee are Mrs. Charlotte’s sisters children. Trey is now living with Mr. Rusty and Mrs. Charlotte and Jolee lives with Mema (Mrs. Charlotte’s mom) so they are just as much a part of our crew now too 😉

Most of our crew was on Day 11 of their 24 Day Challenges (Mr. Rusty, Mrs. Charlotte, Courtney, Casey, Jordan and Zach!). We all kept saying how nice it was to feel CONFIDENT during the pictures. I loved that the shirt I bought to wear for the pics was TOO BIG on me and that I didn’t even have to wear any shape wear under it 😉 I kept saying “I love feeling skinny!” haha. This was not even the halfway point of their challenges and everyone had already lost weight. And they all have lost even MORE weight since these were taken! Hopefully I can get some after pics from everyone to share 😉
