Family Picture day!

It is decided, family picture day is officially the worst day of the year for me.  So much stress and hoopla in hopes that you get at least one wall worthy photo.
Fortunately Lindsey was amazing and made process as painless as possible.  Plus the pictures turned out great!  All that stress for nothing.

Note:  Do not wear a black blousy shirt in hopes of hiding your "problem area" - it could quite possibly backfire.

She captured some great photos of the kids.  I was dancing behind the camera thinking I was making the kids laugh - I didn't realize Zac was mimicking my antics behind me and that's what was really making them laugh.

I love Colby's face here.  Not sure what to do with himself surrounded by all of these sassy girls.

Someone tell me how my sweet little eight year old looks like a teenager in this photo???  She's growing up too fast!

Colby finally lost one of his front teeth a week before the photos.  Part of me likes it and part of me wishes it could've just held on for a couple more weeks.  Does that make me awful?

Ahhh, the boots.  The stinky, stinky boots.  They're practically an extension of this little girl - we had to include them.  They're so bad, she's not allowed to take them off in the car because EVERYONE can smell them.  Any successful ways to get rid of that?

This last picture of the kids is a preview (I cropped it in half) of the photo I chose for our Christmas cards and it's the one what will go up on the wall.  It's my absolute favorite.  None of us are looking at the camera and we're all laughing.  I feel like it's the shot that truly captures our family.  Can't wait to show you, but I don't want to kill the Christmas card surprise. :)

Lindsey did an amazing job!  She's a popular one, so she might already be booked for Christmas.  She specializes in family, engagement, senior and newborn photography (she has a separate website for that).  Come check her out!
