4 year pictures......

We attempted Andy and Ashlyn's 4 year pictures in February. It did not go smoothly. Mistake #1: picture location: our house. Mistake #2 time of shoot: end of the day. Andy was just not having it. Normally I get so irritated when pictures don't work out and my kids aren't cooperative...it is SO stressful! Wardrobe, hair, props...you just want it to go smoothly. You want to capture the perfect picture, with the perfect smiles, on their perfect little faces. haha....right! Well, now I am older and wiser and I just.don't.care! It's not a big deal! And I as look through these pictures, I just laugh. It shows their personalities and the stages they are in right now and isn't that the whole reason of yearly pictures??!! i think so.

I think it is best to view these pictures in sequence to get the full effect of the day....enjoy!

We started out o.k.
A little irritation begins to show.
Ashlyn was pretty happy the whole time.
Taylor wanted it to be her modeling photo shoot.
So serious!


And here we go...We wanted just 1 picture of the twins together...
nope!
This depicts my life over the last 4 years with these 2 and thankfully I have learned to just laugh.
At least he is not running away.
Don't they look like that old farmer couple picture??? They just need pitch forks.
"Kill me now MOM!"
"Fine, i will make a funny face for you, then will you leave me alone!"
I LOVE those eyes!
1 more try outside with the cute bench.
And that's it!
Thanks Rachelle for being so patient, giving piggy back rides through the backyard, and taking all my kids to your house after the shoot! Wow, I think I owe you a Large Diet Coke! xoxo!

Seriously so funny!!!! I'm with you... better off laughing then getting an anxiety attack over the uncontrollable! It was a noble effort! And they are so dang cute no matter what... I kinda like the attitude rock'n that day!!!
