WW – The Perfect Family Portrait

August 25, 2010 by Elaine

I’m not sure why I’m considering spending a decent amount of money on family portraits in a few weeks.

The B Man did a fine job capturing our beautiful family himself.


I mean it is quite possible that if we actually got together to take a photo that Tim would be clandestinely grabbing my boob and The B Man would attempt to strangle his little brother. With one hand. I’m going to work REALLY hard NOT to step on the baby though…

On an artistic note, aren’t our “flower” hands cute?

Yep, this is definitely one for the fridge. archives. blog.

    You need to frame this and keep it forever! It is awesome! And how old is he? He’s talented, you know! I love where he placed the baby… So cute and funny!

    Love. I especially like the baby on the floor off to the side. Maybe a subconscious snub? 🙂

    Ok, you seriously need to duplicate that pose during your photo shot and then put the two pictures together. 🙂

    I think that’s the last nail in the coffin for Sears Portrait Studio. What a beautiful, frameable, absolutely perfect piece.

    Oh Lord, that is awesome! And if Tim is anything like Jay, he really would be grabbing your boob. In fact, I have a picture from our trip just like it. Thank God the kids weren’t with us, think of the therapy costs.

    Very cute flower hands! Looks like a very happy family for that little artist! How beautiful! I LOVE the fact that you mentioned ‘grabbing the boob’. Great chuckle that one gave me! LOL

    What a great and sweet picture of your family!! I love how their little minds and hands draw the people they love!!

  33. Natalie says

    August 26, 2010 at 9:27 pm

    I would say that this picture is a success… I mean, how often is it that EVERY member of your family is looking at the camera/artist? Love it!!!

    What a great picture!

  35. Kat says

    August 29, 2010 at 1:34 pm

    Hahaha!!!! I LOVE that picture. It cracks me up that Baby K is just laying on the ground. My boys used to draw pictures like that after Grace was born. It was like she was an after thought. “Oh yeah! We have another one now. I’ll just fit her in over here.” 😉
