My Irish twin children are 14 months apart. 

Their birthdays are 97 days apart every year. 

Yes, I have my hands full but I’m also overflowing at the heart!

Since finding out that JCPenney portraits still offered photo sessions last November we’ve now gone 5 times in 8 months. 

Excessive? Crazy? I think not!

When I learned they offered “grow with me sessions” I couldn’t pass that up!

We had to take Raiden in celebration of his 3rd birthday in March. We did family Easter/ spring photos in April and we were back in June to celebrate Sp turning Two. 

It’s hard to fathom how quickly life progresses and time goes on. When I started Tatorthoughts I wasn’t even a biological mom earthside yet.  

I wrote about my TTC experience, my journey through both high-risk pregnancies, and my recovery, and here we are celebrating years 2 and 3 for my heart and soul. 

They didn’t disappoint! These sessions were so cute and very worth it. They showcased their personalities perfectly and encouraged us to bring props which me being the “extra” mom we absolutely followed suit on!

They’re so affordable, and accommodating to small rambunctious children with big needs and Groupon has become a great source for things like this as well. 

It takes us about an hour to shoot and 15 minutes to choose our packages to purchase. And that’s with littles!

I’m still super impressed by JCPenney portraits studios and their photographers. 

It may seem totally 80’s & 90’s family of us but this is a sweet family tradition I hope never dies out. 

I encourage all my people to go at least once because babies don’t keep and people won’t be here forever. 

Always grateful to JCPenney for their dedication to their clients, attention to detail, and caring spirit. These memories will always be precious to me!
