Family Pics

Every two years we take family photos.  For the first time, though, we decided to hire a local photographer instead of a chain place, and were super pleased.  Here's some of our favorites, although they aren't the most postcard-worthy:

Dana's- 
I wanted a picture where we all showed support of each other.  Eric's hand is supporting all of ours.  We're a team, and we'll always be there for each other.

Ashlyn's - 
One of our "support" attempts was connecting our hands in some way.  Then we realized that Luke wasn't holding anyone's hands because he was in the back.  So, he decided to hold his own hands.  Ashlyn thought this was really funny.

Son's - 

The girls wanted to do a hand stand pose, and our son agreed to help hold the pose for them.  I think he likes this one because it shows he's the only normal one of the three kids.

Eric's - 
When Eric realized the photographer was going to take a back shot, he asked jokingly if she could photo-shop some hair in his bald spot.  And she did!  Quite funny.  Also, notice how the older two wouldn't hold hands..

Little One's - 
Before we left, our youngest asked if we could all have a picture sitting on a swing, with her in the middle. She was always on the end in the other poses and it wasn't fair.  Although the sun wasn't at the best angle, it did turn out cute.  I love how the photographer let the kids call some of the shots.
