Painless family pictures!
Today we had Family Pictures.
with Matt @ Still Life Studios!
you've seen my brood. you can imagine how nightmarish THAT can be.
but i was wrong. SO WRONG! It was pretty painless. quick and easy.
first off, Matt is a genius. 2nd Kids love him. 3rd, he can make even me look GOOD!
and well , I'm stoked to see how they turned out because I KNOW they will be FABULOUS!
everything i saw on the camera screen looked AMAZING! everyone was looking at the camera and smiling.
A couple years ago we sent pictures for our christmas cards that were done by Matt,
remember this one?
people asked how we got all of the kids looking so great, right at the camera and smiling. because that is no small feat.
THIS IS HOW! it's Matt!
Then he took some of just me for my FB profile pic. hee hee . I'm pretty sure that soon , it will be more than just my eye and hair flower. because he made ME look like a HOTTIE! it's true. you shall see.
and as much as i hate to have my picture taken, because I'm not as thin as i used to be, or as thin as I'd like to be, well this is me. I might as well embrace it because it's not changing anytime soon.
Matt rocks! i swear he's magic. he does wedding's, births, family sittings, funerals. babies.
he's worth every freaking penny plus some.
by the way. he happens to be my brother in law and that rocks too. we like him even when he's not shooting our family pictures but especially when he works his magic and makes family pics as easy and painless as it was today. FABULOUS!
I promise you will be jealous.
you'll see why soon enough.

Oh and special thanks to Wendy and family for letting us drop in because we were on THAT side of town and thanks for the fabulous dinner and family night. it was super fun. we really didn't mean to come over and stay. But SUPER-THANKS for having us!
~~
Hallelujah! i get to check family pictures off my list.
I'm SO Glad it went better than i ever thought possible.
and i personally can't wait to go chillax in the pedicure chair and take a minute for myself while addressing my christmas cards during my pedicure. BEST IDEA I'VE EVER HAD and FAVORITE tradition that is all about me. yeah, i think it's ok to have those.
~~
QUESTIONS?!
Family pics? love them? hate them?
do you do Christmas cards with pics?
Christmas cards? do you send them?
do you save them from year to year or do you throw them away as soon as the season is over?
wanna know the one thing that went wrong during our shoot today? um security coming out from the clubhouse at the golf course to ask us to keep the kids off the green. yeah they were running laps around the holes on a $40,000 green. HORRIFYING! the guy was super nice but i was mortified.

I'm so jealous that your family pics are already done! I know they will be FABULOUS!!! Because they are every time!
We were going to do pics on Saturday, but we decided to all just chill at home. So, we get to do it next Saturday. UGH the clock is ticking! Must get them done!! See you should be proud - you're already a BIG step ahead of me! LOL
No fair! My pics are not done yet and I am worried about them; it is getting late and I am not even scheduled or anything.
Ooooo...I can't wait to see! We've been swamped shooting family portraits, too...everyone wants them for the holidays. I'll be watching your fb profile for the hottie pic!
:) SO glad that things went so well. It makes for a happy mama to have a decent family photo, doesn't it??
hate family pics cause we always do the "set the timer" thing. i'll have to check out matt's prices. joel is on my case to figure out pics cause his mom always wants an updated 8x10 for christmas and we usually send them with cards as well.
Can't wait to see them! I am an aspiring photographer so I do all my own stuff, I love the end result but getting there is usually exhausting! Yep my favorite thing about the holidays is Christmas cards. I usually do a letter and a family photo using Shutterfly.
Hahaha...I save all my cards, this year will be the start of a new box!
It was a super fun family night. It made it extra special having you all join us. We hope you drop in another time.
You know I am a fan of his photography and can't wait for the day when we can afford it!! I am hoping next year once our family is complete that we can spend the money for a excellent photo shoot!! Until then, we will just do our own!!
