We got our annual family pictures taken which I love but lets be honest is extremely stressful and hard. Rob hates getting them done and we usually have lots of tears from the kids before we even get there. Then once we are there we are frustrated when older kids can't cooperate by looking at the camera, seriously we shouldn't have to worry about you if your over 9. So then at the end we get a few photos that will work and Rob wonders if it was worth the money. For me it is just part of life and when we are older we will look back ad see the kids personalities and realize how blessed we where. I don't think we will remember the stress as much as the smiling faces.
As for the kid pictures they always seem to be taken last and so needless to save never really turn out. I know I shouldn't expect much when you have 5 ranging from 2 to 12 but it would be nice to get one really good one. Maybe next year.
I will say the that the individuals always turn out great. I no longer pay for school pictures because I love to get these great shots and lots of options for the kids. This year was hard on me as I looked at the pictures and realized my babies are growing up way to fast.
Kathryn insisted on sitting in the green chair, which I loved because it shows her vibrant and stubborn personality so well. She is really turn into a beautiful and fun young lady.
I really had a hard time with this picture because Emme looks so old and grown up. She is no longer a baby and is doing so many things that make her seem older than what she really is.
Wes was a stinker for the family pictures but was so wonderful for his alone shots. He is such a fun kid and is full of personality.
Love this picture of Tanner it really shows his sweet disposition. He is so mellow and laid back and I really feel like this pictures show that.
This picture makes me realize that I am heading straight into the teenage years. Robbie is getting so old and is turning into a fine young man.
