Thanks to groupon, we got an awesome deal on family photos-only $45 for the sitting fee, the photo session, the cd with all the pic’s, and we can print to our hearts content anywhere we want, so overall, it was a good deal for what was valued at $600…or was it?
After getting four GIRLS up at 5:00am, along with myself and hubby, we hurriedly got ready, did hair, dresses, tights, flowers, make-up (and let’s not forget the hours of shopping, thinking, hoping things would come together), and got ourselves to Piedmont Park in the center of Atlanta for our hour photo session.
I am a photographer myself, but not professional. I love taking pictures and capturing moments, and I’m not excellent, but when I have to organize the group or place people or make recommendations to the photographer, my confidence in that photographer collapses. After taking merely two shots at each pose, we found every family pic to have someone squinting, making funny faces, not a great shot, and all of it ended up being worth poop!-My focus was a good family pic after Nadia’s face last year-which was poutie. Well, welcome to this year’s family picture! You see what I mean! She did end up capturing some cute shots of individuals or a couple of the girls together, but us all together, didn’t work!
Like I’ve said before, you want something done, you’ve got to do it YOURSELF!
