Holiday Photos— GRRRRR…

On Saturday, we took the kids to get their pictures taken. I usually go to Kiddie Kandids, but this year I thought I would try someplace different and one that is a little LESS expensive. So off we went to the Sears Portrait Studio. We also planned to have a family photo taken as well, since we have never had this done. What a nightmare. Gavin wanted NOTHING to do with having his photo taken. All I did was chase him around while he was screaming and crying, and try to hold him in place. long enough for them to get a pic. No Dice. Luke did OK, and I got one nice photo of him by himself. I got one photo of both kids where neither one of crying, but they aren't smiling either. They look like someone told them their puppy just died. Gavin did better with the family portait, since he was sitting on my lap, but still no smile.

Part of me is glad that I didn't take them to kiddie kandids, since I would have spent more, but part of me wonders if they would have been able to get better shots of the kids. Gavin is just at that age. Better luck next year.

No, you'll be getting a card. I ended up taking my own photos with my crap camera when we got home. Gavin continued to be difficult, but I finally got a few that were decent. I hope I get them soon so I can send them out!

I have pretty much given up on a picture with all 3 kids in it. They have the template so that you can have a single shot of each and I am happy with that.
Although this year, we did luck out and have both.
Do you want to know the secret to having a great picture experience with more than one kid???
Luck! That's it! Everything else they tell you - they lie.
If luck is on your side, you'll have a great picture.
