The Always Elusive Family Portrait

Two weeks ago Brent and I decided to try for the ultimate: a family portrait where everyone is smiling, happy, and looking at the camera. I planned the outfits, arranged the time for late evening, and everything was going as planned UNTIL two hours before the scheduled time, our 6 year old neighbor decided to play hair dresser with Jenna. With butchered bangs and random locks, I wasn't sure what to do. Brent wanted to cancel the whole thing, but I didn't want to wait another year. My friend, Ashley Tanner rushed home for work just in time to work miracles with Jenna's hair. All in all, it wasn't so bad. Hannah went first, as Jenna was a little grumpy, and did beautifully. She promptly fell asleep. Jenna finally warmed up with some smiles and Kara and Tyler were regular models. We had to wake Hannah up to finish our family pics, but it was all worth it. Love you guys.
