2010 Portraits

So I finally decided it was better late than never to start taking some professional pictures of the girls and our family and since I work for JCPenney's, what better place than JCP to get our pictures made. It is sooooooooooo much cheaper than I thought it would be and I am kicking myself that i never went until now.

Our first pictures were Natalie's 2 year photos. She did great until we changed into her casual outfit (hence no pictures in her jeans - she had a complete meltdown). I learned that it is a must to bring cheerios and snacks in order to bribe her to take more pics. Also, she was really cute. In the picture with the letters "TWO" she said -no mama, that's a "M" (because she was upside down looking at it) so I told the photographer to just take the pics so I could remember it.


Have I told you that my second daughter is a model? yes, we got stopped as we were leaving the store and they asked if they could use Rachel as a model to help train a new employee. yes - yes!We in turn, got our pictures practically free. (p.s. - I'm so glad that i changed Rachel's outfit and added a bow as we were running out the door!)


Here's our first family picture EVER!! I think it turned out really well. Matt was hilarious through out the photo shoot. He kept making these exaggerated faces thinking it would make Natalie smile but it just made him look silly. He is a good daddy and I love my husband :-)
