more stressful than college final exams

a photo session with three kids is basically a nightmare (especially if one of those kids is beckett).  choosing the outfits, dealing with the moods, not looking at the camera, running off into the wilderness, sweating, etc.  the stress of it all could kill you. here are more pictures from our christmas card photos that i peer pressured my friend into taking. getting five people to look and smile at the same time is no easy task but she did a fab job!  there are  even more than this but i will spare you :)  

i had originally scheduled our pics with another photographer for december 15th...cause that's enough time to get them back and then have cards made for christmas right?  not even close.  so that was when the peer pressuring began.  i never cancelled my december 15th appt though...and as that date appraoched, i decided to keep it for fun (what was i thinking!?!?).  emery and beckett got sick...i pushed it back 2 days and actually had them taken yesterday.  IT. WAS. HORRIBLE.  emery was still sick...and sooooo fussy.  awful.  i really wanted one of the kids with brandon in his santa suit and that FOR SURE didn't happen.  i didn't even care if they weren't smiling.  but screaming wasn't what i had in mind :)  i will be sure to post the meltdown pictures on here...i am sure they will be hilarious...
