I am one of those people who love pictures. I treasure those memories in pictures but sometimes it could be very stressful! My kids are squirmy! If you read my thankful list, my camera features there!!! So my friend Wendy was very nice to take our fall pictures. My other friend Angie before launching her business used to take our pictures. These are friends not only whose work I like, but ones who makes my kids feel at ease and has fun with them so they naturally smile and laugh.
I do love the outdoors photography, the natural light but am not anti studio – I love the studio look with clean solid color background and props for the kids.We love it when a professional photographer takes our pictures too, but my kids sometimes are not in the mood
– This time around I used some bribes — lollipop! I tell you it worked, we got some really nice one.. my wall and frames are waiting!!!
I will post the rest on a private album on Facebook -
So what is your strategy in keeping the kids still when you take family pictures?

Please do tell. This past Sunday we went to JCPenney to take Holiday photos and we only managed 1 decent photo of Parker after 40 mins of fidgeting.
