Things you will say to your child during a family picture session:

1. Please smile and say cheese.
2. Ooo...look at the pretty camera, look right at the big circle.
3. Okay, sit and take a few pictures, then you can play at the park.
4. I'm serious, I won't let you play at the park if you don't smile.
5. Look at the camera and I'll give you a sucker......later.
6. Look at the camera and I'll give you some smarties....later.
7. Look at the camera and I'll give you some chocolate......later.
8. Look at the camera and I'll give you (add any type of food, treat, ice cream, etc...and it was said).
9. Smile and I'll give you $500.
10. PLEASE LOOK AT THE CAMERA (over and over and over and over).

Mad props to Missy .... cause it wasn't easy! The girls are uber-difficult to photograsize, James has "hot ears" (light shines thru them Ü) and I'm a "shoosher" (play with my hair constantly)....but even after all that, I know Missy captured some winners! It was a fun afternoon even thru all the crying (James can be such a baby)....I'll post the pictures soon!

Missy said...

And don't forget "Hey look up there's an airplane with marshmallows and chocolate on it!"

So funny! You guys were great!

Kelli said...

Jenny said...

Seriously, why can't James get ahold of himself? LOL, Sarah, you are so hilarious.

So excited to see the pics! Should I look on Sarah Smiles or Missy's site?

Wow, the tread marks from the bus that just ran me over are going to last awhile. You can't blame the kids, though. It was a cool park that was too tempting not to play on.

That is funny. I have been known to threaten bodily harm. Family pictures can be soo stressful. I had Chloe's pictures taken once and she was holding a stuffed animal. Underneath the toy was a bag of jelly beans. She would pop one in her mouth between shots...

Hmmm...I don't think I threw you under the bus, honey...hopefully everyone knows I was kidding when I said James can be such a baby! LOL. Cause, um...he did a fantastic job trying to get the kids to laugh...especially with his "Look at the plane with marshmallows and chocolate on it" (which I THINK he said, if not, sorry Missy! LOL).
And it was the coolest neighborhood and park!!
