I don't know about you, but trying to get a family photo is an exhausting job. Even the thought of it overwhelms me!
There are clothes to gather, hair to fix, poses and locations to consider. Then, there's trying to get everyone to smile, get the little ones to be still, and get the baby to not spit up all over her outfit! Sometimes it's all just too much!
The proof of my plight hangs on our wall in the family room. Our last family photo was taken SIX years ago. Oh, the shame of it all! We've had FOUR children since then! Thankfully, we did get a wonderful photo of our nine children at my daughter's wedding. (Somehow, we missed the photo that includes mom and dad!) But now, with sweet baby Grace here, we're behind again!
After being inspired by some of my bloggy friends and Shutterfly, I've decided to take the plunge again. I've realized that I don't have to go to the ends of the earth to get a family photo. We don't all have to have coordinating outfits or a pricey photographer.
No siree, Bob!
I am simply going to drag my kids, with my trusty inexpensive camera, out to our walking trails and get some shots in front of the beautiful oak tree, or on the rustic bridge, or in front of the pond. I'm just going to DO IT! We'll make do with what we have, and not make it bigger than it needs to be!
What's important is capturing the NOW of our family!
We're much better at getting candid shots of life. Well, sometimes. Maybe. Anyhoo, Shutterfly has a wonderful video showcasing many ideas for a great family photo as well as candid shots. So, even if you don't get that whole family photo you hoped for, you can 'collage' your candid shots onto a beautiful card.
Are you inspired to get out there and take a family photo? If not, I've got a great Giveaway to really motivate you! I am giving away a $50 Shutterfly credit. How's that for inspiration?

I can never get good photos at home, but when we get them done professionally they always seem to turn out well!
ReplyDeleteWith a 13 month old, getting a picture where all 3 of us were actually looking and smiling was quite the task!
