2008 Photo Shoot

Yes, my friends, it is that time of year again. School starts and the new crop of school pictures are taken. As I am a slacker mom, I tend to completely forget about picture day at school and Landon ends up with crazy unbrushed hair or wearing one of his shirts designated only for outside play at home. You know the shirts I'm referring to right? :0) So, in an attempt to create the illusion of perfectly groomed children, we usually have them done outside of school. Last year I got brave and took the kids down to Shoshone Falls and tried to nab pictures of them. After an hour of taking photos, I ended up with some really good ones of Landon....and that's about it. Mackenzee was a bit trying {to put it nicely} and none of the shots of her worked out. So, though the formal shot of Landon last year was professionally taken by yours truly....we had to have someone else take Mackenzee's picture. Sigh.
This year, I resolved to start a bit sooner, before it got too cold outside. So, I took the kids out to Jerome to Grandpa Burnham's farm on Friday and snapped away. Oddly enough, this year I got so many adorable shots of little Mackenzee, and the ones of Landon were not so great. He's started doing this weird thing with his chin when he smiles and so not only does the smile look totally forced, but he looks like he's got a double chin. :0) Yes, my child that you can count the ribs on looks like he has a double chin. Crazy, huh? Oh well. We'll have to try again with him.


This one was the best on I got of him, and though he looks insanely handsome, I'm not loving the hand positioning.
This one is going to be blown up and framed. Sure, it's not an uncommon sight to see Kenzee loving her mommy, but Landon.....that's a different story.
