Family Pictures






A few weeks ago I decided I would like to have family pictures done. I started lurking around the web to find poses and photographers I liked. After filing a folder on my computer of copied poses and a few recommended photographers, I remembered Jay's friend has a sister that was getting started in photography. I checked her blog and called her. I was so excited when Raquel said she was in UT and available for the weekend. She did such an amazing job. Especially since Jay only had 2 hours to fit in pictures AND Alayna's soccer game. (Her game was in KEARNS about 30 minutes or more away). Looking back I would have just skipped the game. I felt like we rushed Raquel and didn't get all the poses or options I had so carefully researched. (Although I don't know if that would have been possible with 4 hours and 2 photographers). BUT even with the rush, a short 45 min session or so, Ashtyn forgetting part of her 'outfit', Jacob ready for a nap and Jay complaining....we got some good stuff. You can see more of our pictures and her photography blog here. So here are some of the pics

Sooooooo stinkin cute!!! I am so jelous, I want to do family pictures so bad and hate the thought of even attempting it. It is such a huge stress and Joel absolutely hates it. Your family is so cute and I love all the shots. Hey by the way don't call this week because we are leaving tomorrow for a week in Disneyland/Seaworld/Beach so I will talk to you after the 12th.

Love ya, Hillary

I would appreciate it if you would start looking a little shabbier so the rest of us might have a chance to look good once in a while. Cute, cute photos.
