On New Year’s Day, we had photos taken at JCPenney Portrait Studios. (See a couple previous episodes when Ethan turned 2 as well as our first time, when Ethan was Sarah’s current age).
Yesterday’s experience wasn’t the smoothest, but we were somehow able to get a few decent shots. Below are our favorites, honorable mentions, and even a few disasters (the images are low resolution, made available for online sharing).
Shots we ordered …
Here are a few shots we liked but didn’t order …
And here are a few shots that didn’t go according to plan (these are photos that were taken while Ethan was actually in the studio) …
By the end of the session, Ethan’s cheeks were red (it was warm in the studio), Sarah was tired and sleepy, and their parents were ready to move on!
I really had to chuckle when I saw these pictures. Too bad an audio didn’t accompany it. I know what we go through trying to get family pictures with 6 grandchildren. I keep wondering how many years before we can get them all to look in the same direction and also end up with a picture where no one is crying, or trying to escape!
Loved to see the pics of your family Joleen. Adorable kids. I loved all the movement that your active Ethan is displaying in the pictures. Too cute!
Active Ethan … yes, I look now and laugh … I wasn’t so much laughing that day, nor was Sarah – Ethan wore her out!
Great to hear from you Valerie!
