Our family recently had a photography sitting with Portrait Innovations. I scheduled the appointment for a Sunday afternoon. This is typically a time when things are always relatively chill for us, the weekend is winding down and we are usually just hanging out around the house.
As we went through the shots, I was shocked because there were SO many great pictures to choose from!
We struggled to decide, but Jessica quickly reassured me that I would have all of the shots in high resolution on the CD that was included in our package.
What more could a mom ask!?
Jessica helped us narrow down our favorites and showed us different options. She was very patient, I can be very indecisive. I had her cropping and uncropping, sephia-ing and un-sepha-ing. Through it all, she was very cheerful and sweet.
Once we FINALLY decided, our portraits were printed and in our hands in about 15 minutes!
The experience from start to finish took about an hour. It took me longer to do my hair and get everyone ready!
I am over the moon that I have an amazing, fast, affordable, and easy place to go for great pictures anytime!
I'm going to go to them for everything! No overpriced school pictures for us!

The last time we had pictures taken was in 2014! Then, Liam was 3 Logan was 6 and Connor was 14. I knew what I was getting myself into, and even then I was still not fully prepared for the crazy.
As anyone trying to orchestrate a decent photography sitting experience with littles knows, it is nothing short of exhausting! Someone is always looking the wrong way. Someone else is mad because of who knows what! I'm constantly chasing someone, changing someone, or most commonly, threatening everyone! I always end up a sweaty, frizzy haired mess, not a good look for family pictures! Needless to say, due to the last debacle of an experience, I was in no hurry to get back into a studio. However, I do know how important it is to capture these all too quickly fleeting days of our family, as it is now. I had to get past the trauma of the last experience. After all, the boys are 6 and 10 now, but they are still boys, and never predictable, never EVER!
WE WERE LONG OVERDUE FOR FAMILY PORTRAITS.
I expected to wait. I was kind of setting myself up for disaster, after all boys do not wait well. I'm not new at this, I had both of their tablets in hand!
Jessica quickly ushered us to a room that was already set-up with a Christmas backdrop and various holiday props.
I was super impressed with her from the start. Throughout the sitting, as she moved seating and adjusted backdrops, she was engaging the boys. She talked to them about things that are important to them. You know, things like YouTube and Minecraft. They would have stood on their heads if she had asked!
She worked in some silly shots like this one with Liam acting surprised and handing Santa a plate of cookies and milk.
WE ARRIVED 10 MINUTES EARLY, WHY? BECAUSE I'M ALWAYS EARLY!

Within 5 minutes of completing our sitting, she was ready to review our pictures with us.
It was unreal!
