Family Portrait Time!

So after what seems to be decades, we finally had a family picture taken!!!!

The last time we have actually sat down together and had a family shot was when Abby was somewhere right around a year old... so needless to say, it has been a very long time.

Tom was referred to "Portrait Innovations" http://www.portraitinnovations.com/ , by a colleague- after a little investigating and prep, we made the appointment! PI is phenomenal! They are totally good with kids (although you'd be thinking otherwise by a photo of Boo) and the prices are unbeatable! There is NO sitting fee, you can have as many people as you'd like (no joke, there is a family picture with about 30 people hanging on the wall), ANNNND you get them the same day- we waited 20 minutes for them to print! Bonus!

Many moons ago, when we first began talking about having a family portrait done, we decided that all of us would wear semi-matching shirts- the catch would be that they would all be the colors of our birthstones. With the exception of Tom, we wore our birth colors.

Tom: July/Ruby (but he wore black as an alternative. Red is not for him!)

Myself: June/Pearl & Alexandrite (so I wore lavender'ish & white)

Carly: September/Sapphire (although she wore more of an aquamarine)

Abby: May/Emerald (green shirt for her)

Isabella: February/Amethyst (dark purple shirt)

I absolutely love the way they came out and could not have asked for a more perfect setting!

After we did the family portrait, they each put on a new outfit. I told them they could wear WHATEVER THEY wanted... and coincidentally, they pretty much wore the same color as the family shot!

This is my very favorite picture of the three of them.

I love them!

Abby posing as the princess!

LOL... and Isabella was finished. Kaput! No more, nada!

At least we got a few good pictures of her with us and her sisters!

In total we got a plethora of pictures! As a bonus, we got 6 free greeting cards, a 10x13 and a collage of three photos! Not to mention the package =)

If you have one in your neck of the woods, I HIGHLY recommend them! Highly!
