Photo Shoot

My sister-in-law Jessica is an awesome photographer, and we are lucky enough to be able to use her for free. However, right now she is so busy doing engagement pictures, wedding pictures, bridal pictures, and just a ton of other pictures (many of these for free for our family, I have a niece and a nephew getting married over the next month or so), that she hasn't had time to do a photo shoot for us. Not to mention that her family has been in the process of building and now moving to a new house. I felt guilty to keep asking (begging) her to squeeze us in, so I finally broke down and took the kids to the portrait studio at Target when I got a 50% off coupon.

It was my first time there, and at first I was worried because the shoot only lasted about 10 or 15 minutes. However, the kids were pretty much done getting their pictures taken after that short time, and we ended up getting a few cute shots. I put some of my favorites over in the sidebar, and here are some other ones I liked:

Close-up Corbie:

Daxton suprised me by actually smiling in quite a few pictures! At home it is nearly impossible to get him to hold still and smile at the same time, but the girl at the store had the touch. Dax thought she was hilarious. I love this one:


I tried to get him to be barefoot, but he REFUSED to take off his shoes. Can we photo-shop those bad boys out? Oh well.

The group shots were a little harder...someone was always just a little bit off. But here was a cute one:

Corbie was done smiling by this point, but Dax was still going strong:

The two girls look great in this picture, but I have no idea what Dax is doing with his face??

Silly boy.

Hopefully by fall things will have calmed down for Jessica and we can wrestle her into doing a family picture for us (hint, hint, Jess!). By the way, find Jessica on Facebook! Search for "Jessica Zaugg Photography."
