A professional photographer....I am not

Yesterday we did a somewhat impromptu photo-shoot for this year's Christmas card.....brought on by the fact that I had about 12 hours left to go before a very ridiculous 70% off coupon expired (nothing like huge savings to bring out your productivity).  I'm lucky I didn't go into labor as a result.   I quickly realized about 4 minutes in that the picture-perfect card was not going to happen, instead a more accurate snapsnot of the girls personalities (and life) was going to have to be the theme.   And I was going to have to be okay with that.   Jeez Louise was the Reesers not a willing participant.    Ryan couldn't have been better.
Reese would have preferred to do nothing but this:
and this....
This was the look I got pretty much anytime I attempted to give the lady any direction....she's internally mocking me, I know it.
Next year I should really just hire a professional (or at least attempt with a glass or two of wine) but for 2012 you'll get the lazy, pregnant mom version of a card.  
A few unedited, un-cropped teasers that didn't make the final cut.
And this pretty much sums it up... I'm right there with ya Ryan.

Those are the BEST kinds of cards :) I would love to send you one of our cards this year; can I have your address?
