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. 🙂
Always going to get some good pictures when your subject matter is so darn cute!
