#6 - Get a family picture of me and the 3 boys

As a kid, I was always the one who wanted to do the opposite of what my parents wanted. Yep, I was the rebel of the family, shocking huh? This seems like such a simple goal - to take a professional family picture with all 3 of my boys. It wasn't easy for me though. Much like many other people, I was always waiting for the perfect time. Excuse after excuse: I was too fat, I didn't look good, I had no time - all of it. This summer was my last opportunity to have all 3 boys together before my oldest headed off to college.

So I went to the person I knew would hold me accountable - my dad. If you didn't know, my family are in the events industry. They have tons of connections. I told my dad for my birthday I wanted a picture with all 3 boys and his jaw hit the floor. It really was now or never. I am so grateful I will be able to treasure this for the rest of my life. Check out the final product done by our family friend and photographer Djamel Ramoul.

What did I learn? There is never a great time. The time is now. Don't wait as long as I did. Time is gone before you know it.
