Family Photos

Oh the dreaded family photo shoot with young kids!


You've all heard me complain a lot lately about Sydney's aversion to the camera.  She is next to impossible to capture - unless completely distracted.


A few weeks ago, while visiting in Louisiana, we threw caution to the wind and asked a very talented friend to snap some photos of our family.  I knew it would be utter chaos and Syd did not disappoint.


The setting was a big beautiful park along the lakefront in Mandeville.  The perfect place for a run.  And run Sydney did!  Thankfully we brought reinforcements... it takes a lot of people to corral her!


Although this is what most of the shoot felt like...


Thanks to the talent and quick feet of Stacy Drake I think we did manage to get a few keepers.    Here is a sweet sampler.  Notice Sydney is well contained on her daddy's shoulders (didn't last long) - and if you look very closely, you'll see a slight grass stain on her right knee from all the running and falling she had already done.  


That's our girl!
