New Family Pics

Okay kids, prepare yourselves. We just had family pictures taken, and I'm about to post a whole slew of them. Feel free to comment on which ones you think are best because I haven't decided which to print out yet, and I could use some free advice. Although, if you really want to help me, you'd come over and go through all 160 of them with me. I'm just guessing you're thanking me for not posting all of them here . . . .




The Fam








I didn't realize until I was posting these that I had picked out all these black/white and sepia pictures of the girls. There are some really great ones that I like in color, too, but I am seriously not going back through them all again to decide which ones to post here. You're just going to have to deal with the lack of color.

Hey Jami,
Wonderful pictures! Are they not the cutest little faces you've ever seen?! It makes me want to pinch some cheeks. It's hard to believe they are so grown up. Isn't it funny how they can get older but we stay the same age?

Jami said...

Hey Joella! I'm glad you see that, too -- how we're not aging, that is. I feel exactly the same age as when we moved to Greenville (uh, was that really 8 years ago??)

Peggy said...

Okay, am I artistically um, "differently-abled" or is nearly every picture off-center?? Was she going for the one-third thing? Because it looks a little strange to me. I like the first one of the fam, I'm just thrown off by lack of centeredness (If I may be so bold as to make up words). I'm just saying.
P.S. I'm so excited you've remembered how to blog! Nice work!

No cap sleeves, eh Jam?

They all looked centered to me. Peggy, are you knowking down the booze over there? Of course, I have an asymmetrical face so maybe I just see crooked things as straight. Hmm....this might explain a few things.

I liked the one of you standing. They're all really nice, but that one was my favorite.

Who took them?

Jenni said...

Knocking.

Not knowking. Although, I'm kindof digging that word. I think I might have to add it to my vocabulary.

Jami said...

Uh, yeah, I have to agree with Jen on this one, Peggy . . . had one too many today? Which ones don't look centered? I guess the one of Marley is off to the right, but I like it that way.

As for the rest, our photographer hasn't finished the editing for me. I just have to tell her what I want done . . . I think I'm going to switch out one of Marley's goofy faces on one of the family shots (not one I posted) and do some other minor editing. She can always crop in the pictures, too, if that's what I want.

Our photographer is a friend of mine - Jessica Bybee - and she was seriously so fantastic. Totally not afraid to tell us what to do during the whole shoot, if one of us was looking crappy or whatever. I'll put a link up to her website.

Thanks for the input, by the way!

I agree that the photos are centered.

I really like the one on the path, but I also like the first one. Mostly because you can see everyone's faces better.

We just got our family pictures taken as well, and we loved it. They turned out darling.

Peggy said...

Aw crap. Me and my big mouth--now you all know that a good ole fashioned drinking binge here and there gets me through the day! Who wants to join me?

Jenni said...

Count me in!

Maybe it's not the booze, perhaps Peggy, you should try adjusting that little button on the bottom of your monitor and bring your screen back front and center. Just a thought...

I personally like to be able to see people's faces better, so I choose the first one (and Jam, you look great!) or if you are going to blow the photo up to a 16x20 or larger, I like the one standing on the path. (darling girls, btw)

Jami said...

No, I'm pretty sure it's the booze . . .

Thanks for all the advice, kids. I may do something with both the first one and the one on the path. You're right, Carillisa, about blowing it up to a big size. Great idea! But I do like being able to see faces better, too, in that first one, so that may work out, as well.

So I'm not a decisive kind of person, and therefore I am of no help to you.
I did however, want you to know that I really liked all the pictures you posted. Very Cute!

Amanda said...

Your pictures are so great. At point I'm going to finally convince Rob we need to get a great family photo taken. I'm hoping I can get at least some great shots of the kids taken at my sister's wedding next weekend.

I can't believe how big your girls are getting! They're too cute!
