Family Pictures

A few weeks ago we had family pictures taken.  These are meant to be Evan's 1 year pics and Em's 4 year pics.  We had them taken at 9:00 am and even that early, it was so hot!!  We started with family pics since I knew those would be the hardest to get.  Evan just had no interest in sitting still for pics.  All he wanted to do was run around!  About 10-15 minutes in, I was sweating like crazy.  Between the heat, chasing Evan down and the stress of him not cooperating, it was a tough session.  I really left thinking we didn't get anything decent.  Luckily we did get a few good family pics, but didn't really get any good ones of both kids together.  All of Evan's shots were action ones, but they still turned out cute.  Emily did awesome as usual.  She could pose for the camera all day long.

Towards the end of our session, my parents and brother's family met up with us to get some pics of all of us.  We haven't had family pics with all us in about 3 years, so my mom wanted some updated ones.  It helped having so many people to distract Evan.  We were actually able to get a couple good group shots and several cute ones of all the cousins.

Even though this was a tough session for pics, I'm glad we did them.  I think taking pics of any 1 year old is going to be difficult, but it was still worth it.
