So this is how our photo shoot went down.

The nicest woman from Sears portrait studios contacted me about a review and giveaway! Her name is Kim and she is a new Mom to a little daughter, high five Kim! 

Are you kidding, we would love to torture poor photo people, who came to work one day without knowing they would be in for. Photographing 6 kids is not easy, I promise you that!

I am usually not a fan of portrait studios, it really isn't our 'style'. But I was pleasantly surprised! We decided we wanted a casual summer family picture. Do you ever pick a family picture based on the one you look the best in? Regardless of what everyone else looks like? I'll admit I do....

They were super friendly, not just to us to but everyone else that came in as well. They also were very fast and knew instantly how to position and pose a wiggly group of 8!
Obviously they had worked with kids and were able to get great pictures of even the baby, they posed all the big kids first and threw the little one in at the very end. Brilliant. 
They worked HARD to get this little girl to smile! We had to offer her money to make her smile, I am sure the photographer (who's name was Tiffany, weird I remembered her name huh?) thinks we are strange, but this child is motivated by cash.
They can photoshop and add enhancements to all the pictures. Am I crazy or should this little boy be in magazines?
How fun was this picture, all the girls together. I LOVE it. Now I need to find a fun frame. 

The studio had a ton of props and were very accommodating. Every month they have a theme photo session. The next few coming up are a beach theme, followed by a 50's sock hop and Harley. They provide all the props and costumes!! In September our studio is having a fairy theme session, I got to see the set. It was STUNNING! The fairy costumes were gorgeous and the set looked like a studio piece from a movie. We will be back in September! 

It was a fun experience, the staff was friendly and did a great job. They were professional and knew what they were doing especially with children which is hard to find, I was pleased. 

Kim has offered to give a FREE 10x13 wall portrait and sitting to any of my readers who want to have their pictures done. Go HERE to print off the coupon to take to your studio!
