I used to think school pictures were great. After all that IS all the pictures I have of me growing up. They did play their part. (Except 8th grade which better have been burned.) But then I worked for a school photographer and well let's just say...not as impressive anymore. I have effectively boycotted school pictures throughout my kids school career. (Aside from class pictures which I still think are priceless.) Anyway, part of my urge to photography is to capture my own kids in a way that I'd be proud to put on my wall. This is an ever-changing challenge, and since this is a GORGEOUS week. I am attempting to take my kids one at a time to get their 'yearly' photograph. This is my first attempt with Savanna.
My critical eye can detect a hundred flaws...I plan on working on those in my next '4' sessions. But for now it is enough to enjoy the journey.
AWESOME! I don't see any flaws, but I don't know what to look for.
I don't like school pictures either. I hate how they make the kids same something (like: peaches) as they snap the picture. My kids always look like they are in the process of saying something with a goofy grin.
As I was re-doing my scrapbooks I was laughing at my school pictures - even though there isn't much to the pictures, almost all of them reminded me of some event that had happened that year.

beautiful. you did a wonderful job. and, i agree, school pictures are LAME.
Oh my goodness! I can't believe how grown up Savanna looks. And I love the fallness-- leaves, log, bridge, fence. Fantastic! :)
kathryn, these look awesome. school pictures are pretty much the only ones i have of my childhood, too. wish i had a great camera to mess around with.
Great pictures! And you should really try boots. Once you do, there's no going back.
Kat...they're fabulous!

Thanks all.
THey're priceless!! And we need to have some shopping therapy for boots one of these days.
I LOVE them ALL. Print them huge and make a whole wall collage. Maybe you could leave a little room for the other kids too.
I'm commissioning you right now to take family pictures for us. :)
