Default Just a little brag *family photos*
I managed to get my family to cooperate for the annual family portraits this past Saturday. I used inspiration from Pinterst to 'style' us. Typcially (well, 6 out of the last 7 Christmases) we wear red/black or some combo, matchy, etc. We randomly ended up at a place I've been wanting to shoot for-ever (we were actually on our way to deliver some prints)
I did all of these with a tripod & running back & forth, because my remote doesn't work. Without any more blabber, here we are for 2011.











And what I came up with for the flat-5x7 version of our card:


(the folded version is essentially the same, the large photo is the front, the small photo cluster is on the back & the text is the same)

The photos (and the outfits) are amazing! I can't believe you got your little guy to look at the camera for so many shots! I am jealous.

These are amazing. I especially like the photo of Brody pouting! The outfits look great. I HATE picking out outfits!

I am amazed that the kids are looking at the camera when you were not behind it! Good training, Amanda! LOL

These turned out great! I love your color coordinated outfits. Very cool. I love your card too!

What a beautiful family! LOVE your photos and your card! Wish that I were talented enough and able to get my two Grandchildren to cooperate to be able to take such gorgeous pictures!

Thank you so much.

The trick to getting them to look, is the little light that flashes to count down the timer....they usually yell at me to RUN!!
