Family Portrait Session

Every year around mid to late October we try and muster up our little kiddos and do a family portrait session for our annual Christmas card, this year was what most parent's would consider a NIGHTMARE! For starters we didn't have Dani in the time frame we needed and the leafs were slowly losing all of their golden colors as the brown dry tones were settling in. We decided to go for it and instead of getting all of us together for a portrait working more towards individual shots. Kaleb and Kenn are beyond easy, they have learned that it's easier just to smile and get it over with than drag out the process. Not only were they easy but they ended up taking some great pics of Paul and I. Now here is the NIGHTMARE portion, it comes in the form of a 3 plus foot tall, 30 lb. 2 year old. Kanyon is generally a saint getting his picture taken, at least when he's in a portrait studio under someone else's instruction. For those of you that know Kan, he is a very outgoing ball of energy and doesn't stop til he drops. He is all boy so being outside with dirt, sticks, leafs, etc was just a bit too much for his attention span. We conquered the pics and hopefully in the future will be blessed with something less chaotic than our 2 year old running off or trying to bring home a stick twice his size. AWWWWWWWW one day we will look back and remember these days and dearly miss them but for today I'm glad our portrait session is over :)

  2. I hear ya! Pictures with tiny tots are terrible and terrific all at the same time...it is nearly impossible to get them to freeze for even three seconds for a good pic, but sooo worth it in the end when you capture that magical moment. And boy, did you ever! Those pics are gorgeous (of course they are...YOU are all gorgeous/handsome)! So glad you perservered and hung in there to get some great shots!
