I bet! It was pure chaos now that DS2 is more mobile. What's funny is that my 3yr old was roaring like a dinosaur the whole time and yet looks better than all of us! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formal-family-christmas-pictures/page/2#post-2369874 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 15:31:21 +0000 lilyann 2369874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mauxie: Oh I definitely hinted to her once I saw them. She didn't offer to look back through them though :bummed: Oh well! I tried not to make a big deal over it since it was just a mini session. The photog we used before this posted 80+ pictures for a mini session and let me pick 10 vs just showing me 10 pics. I liked that so much better but I know each photog does things differently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formal-family-christmas-pictures/page/2#post-2369869 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 15:29:05 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2369869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyann: well I think they still turned out fantastic :) getting two kids to smile is a tough task haha! I did my sister's family pictures two weeks ago and there was pretty much no picture where both parents and both kids were smiling, one was looking away, one parent was tending to a child, etc haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formal-family-christmas-pictures/page/2#post-2369867 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 15:27:58 +0000 mauxie 2369867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyann: Maybe you could ask the photog? I've done this before where I knew we took a particular photo but didn't see it in the edited ones we were given. They gave it to us for free, edited (but I was a longstanding client). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formal-family-christmas-pictures/page/2#post-2369864 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 15:25:42 +0000 lilyann 2369864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Thank you so much!! I agree that most photographers chose which to edit but I know DS2 smiled in at least 1 picture and I would have loved to have that one, ha. It's all good though! Next time we are doing indoor pics or making sure it is warm outside :silly: </p> <p> @mauxie: Thanks girl!! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formal-family-christmas-pictures/page/2#post-2369855 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 15:19:45 +0000 mauxie 2369855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, beautiful!! I'd have a hard time choosing just 1 for holiday cards hehe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formal-family-christmas-pictures/page/2#post-2369852 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 15:18:01 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2369852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyann: ahhh I love them all! I do agree that the one you posted here is my favorite and the best for a christmas photo. It's super cute! I do like all of them though.<br /> I do think that's pretty typical though for a photographer to choose which ones to edit though, not the client. I'm not a professional photographer, but I have done photoshoots for people and I typically always choose my favorites and edit them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formal-family-christmas-pictures/page/2#post-2369831 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 15:09:57 +0000 lilyann 2369831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Reese: Thank you!! :heart: </p> <p>@Mrs. Pen: I was a little disappointed because I didn't get to pick the ones she edited.

Unfortunately our photographer had to reschedule our pics and the horse handler wasn't available :sad: She was there for other people's pictures and it actually turned out so cute! I was pretty bummed and so was my 3 year old :silly: Silly horses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formal-family-christmas-pictures/page/2#post-2369728 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 14:11:34 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2369728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyann: this turned out LOVELY!
