Family Picture Adventure

I have wanted to get family pictures done for a while now. I really wanted to get some good outdoor shots of the beautiful fall leaves. Bryce has a nice camera so we decided to try to be the 'professional photographer'. I went shopping for coordinating clothes a few weeks ago and finally last Saturday we decided to give it a go. We went to the Ogden Parkway for the pictures. The weather turned out great!! Bryce's brother Jim came and took the family shots and overall I think we got some good ones. No, we are definitely not professionals, but I think we did okay. We took over 300 shots and these were some of the best. Ellie did pretty well. She only got mad and started crying once. She was a trooper! The boys just wanted to play around in the trees and bushes, which drove me nuts. But, boys will be boys! It was a bit tricky to get Tyler and Brayden to smile naturally and not a forced smile, but they did pretty good. Overall, I think we will definitely be able to get some cute Christmas cards this year.

A few shadows on these ones, but overall I liked them.











They were dying to make silly faces.















Isn't she cute?

'Tis the season for family pictures! We just did ours as well... Why are they so painful for the boys? :) I threatened Dallon with every toy he had that he had better just behave and smile and be good or everything was GONE! I know I'm such a mean Mom... But after getting the pictures back, I should have threatened Ryan's life - he hardely smiled at all... We did get some good ones, Ryan just looks grouchy, but what's new! JK/LOL! I think your family pictures turned out great! Ellie is the cutest thing ever! I can't believe how big she is already! Your brother should start taking pictures, he did a good job!
