A few more photos…individuals!

All as sweet as they can be!

Sharing all of the phots that Lauren took for our Christmas card. There are some good ones in here…and some forced smiles, uncooperative hair, and awkward poses…but some good ones too! 🙂

I mean…she just sparkles happiness!

My goodness I love this trio!

I am one lucky momma!

Back in November I wasn’t sure what we were going to use for our Christmas card and a photographer I follow on Instagram posted that she was doing last minute mini-sessions. I was hesitant to use another pro pic for our card this year after the unbelievable ones we had done last year by Jeff Roffman. But, they didn’t cost much so I figured, why not? I had my crew all cute and color coordinated but, I think we still got a case of you get what you pay for! Meh.

Look, they aren’t terrible. There are some cute ones of the kids individually but I used individual photos on my card last year so all I wanted this year was a good one of the 5 of us and I didn’t get that. In most of the group photos, at least one face is completely out of focus. That I cannot tolerate.

These were the best of the bunch…

This kid can turn it on for the camera!

This one is cute and I did consider it for our card. But, Spencer’s got that fake smile going and I didn’t love it.

The best of the ones of all 5 of us…

Why are we standing in front of this wooden construction fence?! I didn’t realize what was behind us and was trusting her to find a good spot for a photo. Not sure this is it.

Look how out of focus Maxwell’s face is here…

and Spencer’s face here…

Oh well! Live and learn! I think we ended up with a great card anyway!! Maybe next year I won’t torture the kids into dressing and posing for pictures…maybe. 🙂
