As you can tell, right from the beginning, Malakai was not very pleased with this situation. (Overall, though, I think this one turned out pretty darn good.)
And he sure as heck wasn't going to be holding anyone's hand.
With many bribes (and threats) we were able to convince Braeden (10) that smiling for his photo was the best idea.
Abbey (6) is a natural.
No matter how I tried, I could not convince Meg (5) that she should trade in her "posed" look for a natural and relaxed smile.
Ditto that for Shea (3). LOL!
This was, literally, the only moment Kai (1) was not crying.
A bit of family monkey-pile fun!What do you think - colour or black and white? I just can't choose!
These fabulous family pictures were taken by the talented (and patient), Kai Smyth of kaismythphotography.com. Click on her blog to see previews from her shoots.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Black and White photos! Although I must say, they are all fabulous photos!
