Having a
professional photographer made all the difference in the world! The kids listened to her and did everything
she asked, and they smiled the sweetest little smiles instead of those forced
fake ones that they do when we’re making them take pictures. We didn’t even have to bribe them with
marshmallows like we have in years past!
And our
photographer was just great! She knew
exactly what shots to take, she knew how to interact with the kiddos, and I
feel like she captured exactly what I would have captured had I been behind the
camera myself. Aaaand it was nice to not
have to sort through 300 pictures and then edit 75 of them. Hiring a photographer was worth every penny.
I’m so in
love with every single shot. It was
nearly impossible to cut any out, but I cut them down by nearly half for this
post. However, you guys know me, and you
know that I am extremely liberal when posting pictures in my posts, so settle
in, because there are still about forty here.
Haha.
And finally,
now that the Christmas cards have been signed, sealed, and (hopefully)
delivered, I can finally present our Christmas card for the 2016 Christmas season! We used Shutterfly as we do every year, and
as always they turned out beautiful. I
had to restrain myself from doing gold foil again… we already did it back in
2014, but it’s just so beautiful, I really wanted to do it again! Maybe next year…
Happy Friday Eve!

ReplyDeleteYour pictures came out sooo cute! I think that's what we need to do is just take the plunge and hire a professional. While my camera takes amazing pictures, you need someone who knows how to work it and be able to get pictures of all of us. Your kids are so adorable and your card came out great! Beautifully Candid
ReplyDeleteThese turned out great, Lindsay! I love every single one...definitely hard to pick just a few. Olivia's just pop...she's a little beauty and Jacob has the sweetest smile! You have such a beautiful family! :)

ReplyDeleteThank you, Brandi! I have no clue how to pick which ones to frame!
DeleteThose pictures are so beautiful! I would have had such a tough time choosing one for the card!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was tough! Now I'm having a tough time deciding which ones to frame!
DeleteI can see why you couldn't decide which ones to pick! Every single one of them is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThese turned out great Lindsay! I totally agree that having a professional photographer makes the process less stressful. Everyone always looks so much more relaxed with someone else behind the camera.
ReplyDeleteOh my word! I don't know how you will pick and choose which ones to frame because they are all AMAZING!
