Professional Photos

We finally got around to getting professional pictures of us and the babies... 4 months later! Let's just say I was correct in my thinking it would be a nightmare to do. This is why we take their monthly shots at home! My sister in law, Jill does photography, check out her blog and website. So, even though the babies were EXTREMELY fussy during the picture taking process, we had a good time being out with family. My brother kept singing this annoying song to me just to pester me. It goes "1,2,3,4,5...6,7,8,9,10...11,12" LOL! Does anybody recognize this song?

Anywho... here are some of my favorite pictures.

I am trying to decide which ones to buy. Help me decide by telling me which ones are your favorite out of each category. Family? Group? Individual? Mommy? Daddy?

Okay, let me see if I can get this straight:
Mommy - outdoor shot
Three babies - black ground (so cute!)
Whitney - close up
Tyler - close up
Hannah - Full length diaper shot
Daddy - black and white baby heads
Family - their both really good, but I'd have to go with the kissing one.

Well for reference I numbered each catagory starting at 1 from top to bottom

Mommy - #2

Group - #2 and #4 (the red/white sundress on Whitney looks like Victoria's she wore sooo long ago)

Whitney - #2

Tyler - #3

Hannah - #4

Daddy - #2

Family - #1

All the pictures are really good though. I can tell why it's hard to choose.

Also, Jill you need to cast your vote too even though it is your work.

Jill Cornelius said...

Gosh, they're not even my kids and I can't decide. So I say, one of each... Just kidding. I'm gonna go against the grain and say I like the mommy on white. Then daddy with the heads. Family kissing. On the individuals, I say we do a simple collage or two actually... full body on white of each in one and then close-ups on another. I can even put their names under each picture in their 'colors' on the headshot one. Then pick an individual shot of each in their 'outfits' for seperate pictures. Oh and a booty/feet shot just to show all their little toes.

I like the first one with you and the baby heads with craig. They are all so cute, I don;t think you can go wrong.

Hi Amy!

I love the first pic of you and the babies with the white background. Love the feet pic! And I love the pic of the babies screaming with the black background...you gotta get that one just because of the memory! I think the outside family pics and Craig with the babies are great too!

Ok, the individual babies, I LOVE the ones on the white background.
I love the one of you with them in white as well. LOVE the b&W of the babies in the hands.
LOVE the butts pics too!
OK, so they all turned out gorgeous! No wonder you are havving trouble!

My votes are almost like Michaela's. I like the white background Mommy shot though. The group shots I like the feet-gotta do the feet. And the one with the black background and they all have different expressions-that looks like it came off of a Hallmark card. I like all the head shots of the individuals and Hannahs on the white background. I like the Daddy shot in black and white of the top of their heads. And I like the family shot that you have at the top of your blog entry. They are all wonderful. I like Jill's ideas about the collage- groupings, too. I always had such a difficult deciding with one or two kiddos. It always seems like someone in the group photos look goofy so you have to toss them. I cannot imagine trying to get three babies to cooperate at once. You all look Incredible!! What a wonderful family. You are richly blessed. Love & Hugs to all.

Sorry to be so late in sending my vote...I've had a busy couple of days. Beautiful pictures of my beautiful children and grand children!!!! Our vote... Pawpaw & I did this together.....

Mommy: Like both, but if only one vote... #1 the white

Group: #3, #4, #5 Sorry, can't choose just one.

Whitney: #1 full body

Tyler: #1 full body

Hannah: #4 full body

Daddy: Like both, but only one vote would be # 1 outdoor shot

Family: Again like both, but #2

Jill did a fantastic job on the photos! I really love all the pitures. What a beautiful family! I am so thankful to be the mother and mamaw. I love you all.

Amy said...

Mamaw, was that the full body of them with their clothes on or in diapers?

Jami Ackerman said...

They were all in diapers.

Amy said...

tycha said...

They are all soooo beautiful. Jill is great with the camera. The mommy/babie shots

#1--white background you all look like angels.

baby group

I liked #3 until I scrolled down further to #7. There is so much expression on their faces.

Individual:

I like the close-ups on Whitney and Tyler. Full body on Hannah.

Daddy/babies:

HMG- #2 of him holding all three in the dark background.

You all make a beautiful family.

Jill, hope you will be my photographer at my upcoming wedding (maybe May, 2009)

The babies are so cute...and they have grown so much since the last time I saw them (today was the first time I've gotten on your blog and seen some new pictures). :)
