Family Pictures and the right Dress

A natural celebration from a Mn paper, The Daily Telegram, about how a family would have pictures done when a child reached two years old.

Family pictures can be hard and can cost a pretty penny. Kathleen Reeve Photography did some amazing black and white photos of my family that my husband arranged while we were in the San Jose area. She really captures the emotion in a picture. On her blog, she has posting on picking the Clothing for Family Portraits. If you have a chance, take a look at her site just for fun. And if you live in the Bay Area, I highly recommend her!

For those of us who don't live in the Bay Area, I found when my daughter was smaller that Sears did a great job of enticing a smile out of my daughter and had coupons that made it reasonable. They were an early adopter of digital so you could nix that picture with the eyes closed.

The god daughter of the person we bought out grand piano from has a neat business, where she hangs out with a family all day taking pictures of them. She calls it ur papparazi. She also did some of my dress photos. She's in the LA area and if your interested I can E-Mail you her contact info. I could not find a web page for her.
