Prêt-à-Porter


Are you having your family portrait taken in the near future? If I and my family were planning this, we would wear one of these outfit combinations, but alas, no such plans are on the horizon for us. Well, maybe I'll try to gather the natives, place them in front of my lens, set my camera to self timer, and run to be in the photo. Wish me luck, though, because this is What Happens when I attempt to take a photograph with all four of my offspring in the frame.


I love being a mom!

I'd like to schedule an appointment for the end of October. How does that sound? I'll be visiting Old Navy this week. Can you photoshop 30 lbs off me?

Christie said...

I think you should frame the one where George's hand is totally covering Stella's face. Better yet - send it out for your Christmas card. You know we've all got pictures like that of our own.

Love those outfit boards! And the first shot isn't bad... Georgie is a little grumpy, but maybe you can turn that frown upside down in Photoshop? And I have to agree with Sara - George's hand over Stella's face is priceless.

I really love the picture where Stella's hair is whipping around. Fabulous! I like the outfit boards too. The most difficult part of getting family pictures taken for me is picking out the outfits. Thanks for taking my family pictures this spring. It was lovely. :-)

Sara: You're on the calendar, and I can't wait.

Christie: You read my mind.

Ms. Amy: It's true, photoshop can work miracles, but I am unhappy with the way I sat them down. I'm still getting the hang of "Posing" group shots.

Chrissy Jo: It was such fun shooting your family last spring, and you all looked stunning, as though you had hired a stylist.

These pictures are hilarious! Whenever you have some free time to take pictures of our little family, please let me know =)

George and Jack are killin me. Just take a look at Jacks face when G is whacking Stella! Love it!

Liz said...

Sissy: It's pretty funny how entertained Jack is by Creed's torment of Stella. Is anyone going to notice poor Creed having a meltdown?

Diana: Creed has grown up since we moved to Iowa~and you have NEVER come to visit!

Nathalie: I'll call you.
