Family photos

I've been wanting for quite some time to get some family portraits taken. Just some nice, quality photos of the four of us. Not so much the "sit on the carpet-covered box and tilt your head to the left" type, but the kind where we get outside and get some natural pics of the family together. So I researched some local photographers this summer, and just couldn't believe their prices! After all, we weren't shooting a wedding or anything, and really, what use did we have for a 16x20 portrait? (I don't even think we own a wall big enough for a monstrosity like that.)

Luckily, my dad has a professional camera that he enjoys experimenting with, and some serious patience with my girls, and offered (with no guarantees) to give it his best shot. (No pun intended.) We considered ourselves lucky as we got to enjoy a nice walk and a morning out with Grandma and Grandpa, and went home with over 900(!) frames to sift through.

Thanks, Dad for helping us get some great family photos, at a price that fit our budget!
