It’s me again

August 26th, 2008 · by map · 8 Comments

Leah’s made arrangements to have Ava’s four-year portrait taken. We go around and around about this. I say that we could save a bundle of money by letting me take the photographs, but apparently G.G. likes to have an “official” portrait taken every year, and she’s willing to pay for it. Come on, Georgie, do you really think Sears can do as well as this:

We’ll see how it goes. I will, of course, keep you posted.

    I have the exact same argument. The school pictures come back with our boys in stilted poses on a nondescript background, and they want $20 for the minimum, and $60 for a package you might actually want to take home.

    Or, I could take the pictures for free, and print them for $2.00. And we’d have pictures with character in a location with meaning.

    And yet.

    I’m with you. Once the digital age came about, I stopped taking the kids in for pictures. Shoot, with four stinkin’ kids, I was spending about $600 a year on pictures … and none of them were really any good. I framed others that I had taken.

    BTW – that shot of Ava is GREAT! I love it. It’s for sure a framer.

    Another one on your side. Although I do have to say that one of the pictures that we got when Barb insisted on 1st year photos was definately a one-offer of the type that might make you think twice about saying, “No.” Still… I say, “No.” Jean-Philippe, on the other hand, says, “Non.” Ah, no, wait a minute… are we agreeing, there? Whoa.
