Spring Photos

Posted by: Lizzie

The last time we had family portraits done was when Simon was eight months old.  Eight months!  He’ll be four in May, so…yeah.  I sought out a local photographer who was looking to expand her portfolio and she offered to do the session for free.  We paid for the digital copies, but I think it was worth it not to have to go to a studio and risk major meltdowns from one or all of the children.  Overall, I like the photos (there are 30 in all).  I learned from a friend of mine, though, that we really should have done the shoot later in the day when the sun wasn’t so bright.  I’m considering a reshoot of just the boys together so I can get at least one portrait of them without Aiden making this face:

At least we got one good shot of all of us together.  What you can’t see in this photo is Jamie’s mom standing there yelling, “DON’T YOU CALL ME A MONKEY BUTT!”

    Love it! What a great idea! We have NEVER EVER had a picture taken of all of us that we paid for. Isn’t that terrible?? I’m going to remedy that this summer when Erik comes home for his break. I love the different colored shirts–great idea! And no matter the time of day it is hard to get the lighting just right. I think pics like that show personality! :) WTG boys for cooperating!
