That Happily-Ever-After Thing: Family Portraits

So............. I had a coupon to a big dept. store photo studio and I wanted a family photo for our wall. I took the kiddos in the other day to try to get sibling shots and because they didn't have time to take more than a few before setting up another appt. , I went home and took my own of the kiddos (what I probably should have just done in the first place).

I kind of went more out of curiosity. I never took Emmett but did his myself here at home and that always worked out great for us.... plus they were cheap to do *free!*. But with two and one of them being a baby I decided to check it out and have them done.

Ugh. Let's just say we probably won't be doing that one again. They were expensive. Getting the kiddos to corporate in a new stimulating environment was more of a challenge than anything else, the backdrops were fakey because they were indoors, and they were EXPENSIVE. But that is my fault because I was too chicken to say 'I just want the free photo from the coupon, please'. So I digress.

Nothing Fancy but here's my photo of the kiddos after we left that day....

However, let's look at the positives from the trip :O)

*The kiddos did great considering the appt. STARTED at 7pm. Their bedtimes are 730. We didn't leave until almost nine.

*We got a family portrait with EVERYONE!!!!! looking that I can put on the wall.

*We matched :O) and it wasn't stressful finding something in our closets that went together.

*We do have a free photo CD with rights so I can share the photos with you and make prints for our family members who desire one :O)

Here's the best from our Photo Trip......
