Professional Photos 2013

This year I had a lovely new photographer take our family photos for an ah-mazing price! She is still learning a lot and just looking to get more and more experience and so I was more than happy to give her a taste of trying to get five little girls to smile... Megan, Julian and Ally joined us too so we could get some family photos of all of us.

Let me just say that it was FREEZING! I mean, FREEZING. Did I say it was FREEZING? It was bitterly cold and my children were miserable. They were begging to keep their coats on and crying/screaming while telling me, "NO, MOMMAAAA, NOOOOO"...I felt so bad for them. Tim and I yelled at each other the entire time because it was so cold, and well sometimes husbands can act as bad or worse than children. Wait, did I just say that? Yeah...I did. It was a bad hour, let's just say, for all of us. From every year on, we will be getting photos done in the late summer.

So we got some good photos though considering. I think the best ones were of the girls individually, and the family one was okay, not my favorite but it's pretty good considering it was freezing and everyone was unhappy.

So here they are...

This would be much better if Anna was looking, Claire wasn't yelling, Emily was smiling, and I wasn't pissed off...

I took this photo...

Why wasn't Tim smiling?

This is a good one of me and only me. Well Megan and Julian look good too. All the kids look pissed and mad!

Baby Ally

This was a GREAT photo of Emily!

Another favorite of Emme! She is getting SO big!

This is so Maddy and her personality.

This just screams, "Mommy I'm FREEZING!"

Claire!

I love this one because it reminds me of the one last year with me and my sweet Natalee. She is NOT a photo child. I can't say there is anything she may hate more than getting her photo taken!

Love this one of Maddy-bug!

AND...of course this is my FAVORITE...you cannot tell all the girls are screaming crying and I'm yelling, "just walk and you can have a treat!!!!" Plus, I think it is cute that Anna is the only face you can see! :)
