Family Pictures 2012

We were so excited to get Krystina Bullard to take our family pictures.... Well, that's a lie.... I was so excited to get our pictures made. John and the kids were less than thrilled. I worked for months making sure that we had complimentary outfits with coordinating colors. You know when you pick the kids up from school and your just KNOW it's going to be THAT kind of night? Their timing was impeccable! So I prayed that we could get a few good pictures before the big melt down.











Can I tell you just how amazing Krystina is? To look at these pictures you would have no idea that the kids were refusing to cooperate and John asked one million times why we needed family pictures! And yet, she turned those moments into these. Wow! Ok, so the pictures were not going well but things were about to take a quick turn for the worse..... This next picture is one of Mom and Daughter, playing, laughing, hanging out being best friends right?........... WRONG! Allie refused to smile in the pose that we were supposed to be so I started tickling her. She proceeded to fall back into me making me fall back as well. We landed in this position and Krystina said we should just go with it. Well about this time Allie started wining saying that her ear hurt. I was beyond frustrated at this point and I kept telling her to quit wining and smile. (Notice she really isn't smiling). She started getting more and more dramatic so I told her to just sit up. It was at this point that I realized that we had laid back into an ant pile. Allie had thousands of ants in her hair, her ears, her clothes and they were biting her. The next 10 minutes left a scar on Krystina, I am certain! I stripped Allie down, she was screaming at this point saying "There's beetles in my hair!" John is giving me the "I told you so" look and I was mortified. I kept saying "I'm so sorry Krystina!" I thought for sure that we would be walking away without a single picture. Krystina offered to meet us back out there whenever we could but I knew, I would never get my family to go back to that field.
Can you believe what she made out of that mess? A-mazing!
