Girls' Pictures

I just full of blogging today. I guess I have a lot to say! I got the girls' pictures taken today. I wrote a little about it in UPDATE in last post.


Here is a quick run down of the shoot.
*I bribed them with ice cream
*the photographer was AMAZING
* He got these taken in under 15 minutes with each girl changing outfits.
* He actually interacted with the kids
*He didn't try to push all of those props or funky backgrounds.
*He made up the collages and extra things (mainly because he had to, but didn't push them)
*He showed me how to save an image or change it so he wasn't breathing down my back.
*I got a free 10x13 (who know what I am going to do with that), 2.99 sheets after 6 and the military discount of 20% Yeah me!
*The girls did great,
*I got to eat the leftover ice cream!
Here are the shots.
(Madison's hair is curly, but not that curly. I wrapped it in rag rollers last night and took them out this morning. I did Cait's too, but they didn't curl. Cait also doesn't have bangs, but she has some new growth and it won't do anything)

Madison did everything he asked. Cait was a little more difficult, but I love the way her foot turned and her hand is crossed.
This is a really neat angle. It would look side by side since they are opposite.

Seriously?:)

A little prop, but so cut out you don't even realize it is there.

Awww!


This is my favorite shot. It really shows who they are! Little sister leaning on big sister? PRICELESS!
I know, it is hard to believe that I am excited over photographs! These are the untouched photos. They had edited them a little, bringing them in, etc, but these are very close to photo studio quality in my opinion, not the normal quick shot place!

Wow! They did a great job!! Where did you take them this time? When I came across the ones of them close up, it was literally breath taking...just beautiful!

They are so cute, they make my head hurt (and I'm only a little bias because I am their aunt)!

The banner looks fabulous too! Soon, you will become a Photoshop geek, just like Jonathan!

Those are great pictures! I haven't taken mine to a professional in years and years. Those pictures make me think twice about it! I love the close up one, too...

They are my grand-daughters everybody! Am I proud or what... My favorites are Caite's close-up, Madison in the chair and the two of them together on the floor. I miss them so much. They are so generous with the hugs and kisses.

When I got into the blog...WOW...the header of pictures is great. Good job.

That is the best set of photos I have EVER SEEN. I love how he did all the matched pairs so that they'd look good together: girls tipped opposite ways in each set. I love the together shots, and the girls did such a good job and they look excellent and natural and darling! Where DID you go? Was it JCP? I love the JCP studio.

AHH! Holy cuteness Batman! I cannot TAKE IT.

I love them all. But the last one, like you said, is absolutely perfect. you should wallpaper your house with that picture. Beautiful.

Oh my GOD! THOSE ARE GREAT! I am so glad that you liked the photographer. Those definitely do not look like the average point and shoot place. And, actually, I like that chair prop. It looks nice!
