Family Pictures

We finally got out to take pictures this weekend.  I've been thinking about outfits and poses and locations for like a month now, so I was glad to get out there and finally do it.  Paige's hair looked SO cute right after I did it!  And then about 10 minutes later it was the usual mangy mess.  I'm super sad about it, but there's not a lot I can do about it now.  Oh well.  Here's proof it was cute at one point.

 We took the pictures on our own with a tripod and a remote.  We definitely had to take a lot to get good ones of all the kids looking, but I think for the most part they all turned out really well.

 We went to BoaVentura Winery to take the pictures.  They were super friendly and accommodating.  They really just wanted us to taste some wine when we were done, and I felt a little bad to disappoint them.  We'll have to take along some wine drinkers with us next time.  There was this really cool red barn that we took pictures in front of.

We took this picture as kind of an afterthought and it turned out so much cuter than I thought it would.  I love it!

 There were 3 black labs running around while we were trying to take pictures.  They kept getting into the shots and scaring the crap out of Paige so it was a little tricky at first.  They lost interest after a while, but Paige stayed scared the entire time.  Lucas loved the puppy, though, and played with it every chance he got.

 We got some really cute pictures, but I keep thinking up shots that I wish we had gotten, or things I wish I had done to fix Paige's hair.  I feel like we get better every time we do this, though.  I definitely think we'll come back to this place next year.
