Family pictures


I told my cousin Courtney that Tyler and I hadn't had a professional photo taken of ourselves since our wedding day... but I forgot about this picture that was taken at the Stampin' Up! summer party one year. Tyler dis-agrees with the fact that I called the photo above professional. Do you like how the photographer made Tyler hold a pitch fork? When Courtney offered her $75 photo session, I thought it was a great deal, and although I was a little worried about how Ella's behavior would be during the photo shoot, I thought it was about time for a new family photo.



Luckily Ella didn't throw any temper tantrums, but she wasn't very cooperative either. Courtney did a great job despite the fact that Ella frowned and hid her face from the camera most of the time.

Ella finally smiled after we promised her a toy dinosaur from All-A-Dollar.
We will use Courtney's services again! Thanks Courtney!

I had to laugh out loud when I read about the pitchfork! Hahaha! Were't those pics funny? I have my pic from that year (Jake sans pitchfork) framed and in my front room and people always ask if we dated in HS. Too funny!

Love how cute your family is--and the pics your friend too are wonderful! What a talent!

I LOVE them. It makes me want to get family photos, but I should probably wait until Charlie looks less lump-like.
I think the first one is my favorite.

Courtney showed me all of your cute photos. They turned out fantastic. Taking pictures with little kids is always very tricky. Cute family HOLLY : )
