For those of you wondering how our church directory photo's went, here is an update.
1. Amelia had to bribed with fruit snacks to sit nicely (we did not capture any smiles)
2. Samuel was alert but we also captured no smiles.
3. We got combinations of the kids, kids alone and David and I (I felt like it was engagement pictures again!)
4. We bought way more than we planned on buying and deviated from the plan! I'm such a sucker for pictures and now have a 10x20 framed print of the kids on the way to my house along with all the proofs and an 8x10 of the family (this was free!) Oh well you can never have too many pictures right?
You'll just have to come by the house to see all these beautiful pictures we took.
By the way after we were done Amelia was running around and loved being in other people's pictures (smiling the whole time). Go figure! The whole process was a bit exhausting... reminds me I need to call Penny's for Samuel's 3 month pictures. Here we go again.

You did very well with your pictures! I remember trying to find 3 year old Jeff when it was our turn for the church directory pictures. We had to wait quite a while and he snuck off on his own. We found him elbow deep in the toilets in the mens bathroom! I always think of toilet water when I see that picture!
(Oh, that's a hilarious story about Jeff! I'm sure he appreciates it :)
That's sort of why I have "officially" given up on professional pictures - at least from anyplace that doesn't specialize in kids. And those are pricey, so that won't be happening anytime soon! I have one picture of the three older ones (once upon a time there were only three) and I think it was Kale that actually had a piece of candy in his mouth because he wouldn't stop crying otherwise. Have another one that Daniel is pretty much screaming his head off in. It's nearly impossible to get one with all of them sitting still and looking at the camera, let alone smiling! Good luck with the three month pics!! :)
