Kids' Fall Portraits 2008

Each year we take the kids over to Target Portrait Studios for the annual patience testing torture session also known as family photos. This year, however, I decided I was done with that scene. I had seen some photos at people's house done professionally and looked through some online and figured I could do it myself. It looked like it was "eclectic and professional" if the photo was off-centered and slightly blurry. Since I've been taking photos like that my whole life I thought I'd try to do it on purpose. I took the kids out one afternoon after church and played around. I took WAY more than I actually could use, but I'm calling that "portrait profiling" rather than "whoops, why didn't the flash work?" Sounds better, eh? Here are some of the shots. I've only got one each of the kids all photo shopped (b&w, soft focus, cropped etc.) Enjoy my cute, adorable kids. The next step is a family photo, but's it gonna have to wait. Even though we weren't at Target, the annual patience testing torture session happened again...in our backyard. The pictures are cooler, however, so....worth it.
