AJ Portraits

When you have a camera-shy 4-year-old and a squirmy 1-year-old, getting a decent family portrait is difficult. We are speaking from experience. After a challenging time at Picture People last February, we decided that we might be more successful having a friend take photos in a familiar environment.

Luckily, AJ, who is one of our dearest friends and a favorite with our kids, is also an excellent photographer. So, back in November, we had him take some pictures in our backyard and at the park behind the house. Prevailing temperaments (and forgotten sunglasses) at the time prevented the perfect family shot, but AJ did get some great candids. Here are some of our favorites.
