Aloha Friday - Family Portrait

Aloha Fridays are brought to you by Kailani from An Island Life. Over there in Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that they take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So Kailani thought that on Fridays she would take it easy on posting, too. So, for Aloha Friday, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Answer my question and put one of your own up on your blog. Link up and check out other blogs that participate at An Island Life.


How often to do you take a family portrait?


We would like to get them done annually but it seems that we only do it about every two years. We just has ours taken yesterday. It was like Chinese torture to get a good family shot. Emilio cried about 90% of the time because he was pissed that he wasn't able to play with the toys in the waiting area. We had to coax him into a partial smile - once. Benji was horrible in the studio and nearly took out the background at least five times. Which totally freaked out the photographer. Oscar did all of his fighting with us before the appointment because we wanted him to wear jeans in the picture and he absolutely can't stand wearing jeans. All in all, we only ended up with one decent shot of the whole fam and a few great shots of Oscar and Benji together. We did manage to get one semi smile picture of Emilio too. Not bad, but I really wanted one of all three boys together which was impossible because Emilio refused to cooperate.
