Family Photos at the Fayetteville Public Library
Two things about me! I freaking love photos. Like, they are my great love in life (besides my husband and family, obviously). My other great love? Books! I love books and reading and knowledge so much. I worked in libraries all through high school and college, read books constantly, and even created a brand that celebrates books and learning. So when a family wants to do their family photographs in the library?
Y’all know I am IN! Immediately!
If anything, I try to play it a little cool as soon as the library (or book props, etc) are mentioned. Outside, I’m like “family photos at the library? That sounds great!”. And inside? I’m like “YESSS! I love the library!”, lol. The Fayetteville Public Library is the most amazing space. It holds countless memories for our family – we never met a Baby Bookworm morning we didn’t love! – and seeing it grow over the years has been a total joy. I love this space and all it provides for our community so much and, today, I’m so excited to share Jessica’s family photos with y’all! This family of six is a total ball of joy. From laughing outside to laughing inside, we had so much fun! And those baby cheeks?! Literal perfection.
Thanks so much for trusting me with your family photos, Jessica! Could not love these more!
