Say Cheese (But Not Too Big)!

Last week I took the kids to have their pictures taken. We hadn't gotten any done since Emily turned one, so I figured it was about time!

I'm mailing copies to all the family, but here's a sneak peek:

What?

Oooohhhh.... I forgot to mention that these were the out-takes? Worried for a minute, were ya?

We tried out a new place called Portrait Innovations. It's definitely a nice change from our local JCPenneys which had gone way downhill in the 4 years that we used them.

We had the hardest time getting Chris to look, well, normal. The photographer was a young gal and she didn't do much to make them smile and laugh; she just kind of sat there and said
"Smile big". See the weird, pained expression on Chris' face? That's him smiling big. Only I didn't figure that out until afterward when we were already at home. When I said "just do a small smile" he looked like he could be a catalog model. Oh well.
We managed to get a couple of really cute shots and I think I want our annual Christmas card picture to be done here.

If you want to see the real pictures that we had printed just let me know and I'll email them to you. : )
