Question

Our adoption lawyer emailed and asked us for a current family picture for the court/judge. So tonight we set the camera on self-timer and sat across from it.

If it were you, which would you send?


#1

#2

#3

#4 (Bradshaw's saying "All Aboard")

#5

#6

#7

#8

#9

Oh, they are so cute! It would depend on what it is for. Why would they need it? I love 3-5. But #1 would work if they wanted to see everyone's faces.

3 or 4 are my favorites. :) Haha! I can never narrow pics down to just ONE.

My top are: 1, 3, and 8.

1- because you can see everyone

3- because you can see all the love you have for your kids :)

8- because Val looks beautiful (I guess Dustinn does too. Baha.)Ya'll just look like a happy family.

I would pick #8. So cute.

Cory and Becca said...

all of them are super cute, but #1 is most centered :)

I love them! 4,5,7, and 8 are my favorites! 4 would be my favorite because you're all so close and loving and Olivia looks darling, but Bradshaw is covering most of his face :( I would send 5. Bradshaw is still covered a little, and Olivia looks a little distant but I love it all together and you and Dustinn look awesome! The earlier ones don't look happy enough for me.

Ooh, I just noticed, though that maybe you should crop off the bottom of number 5! :) You could center it too.

They are all so cute!!! Personally I like 3-5, and 8-9 the best cuz they show your guys' cute, happy personalities :)

But really, you can't go wrong! :)

Erika: I think it's just to give the judge an idea of who we are--like to put a face with our home study & all the other info. provided for finalization. I can't imagine a judge saying, "I don't like this picture...and turning us down."

Thank you Stef. :)

Holy cannoli Gen I just noticed that...uh...I had no idea I was doing that. How embarassing!

Erika, I take it back...there is something I could do in a picture that could affect the judges decision. Yikes!

Wow. I can't believe 14 people commented before I did! I feel like a failure...
#1- looks like you're posing for vogue.. you look exotically beautiful, but I'm not sure its what you want.
3 bradshaw looks adorable I prefer to see your faces.
4 I LOVE this one. I like how it's not centered I like how everyone has personality and is semi making contact with the camera
5 seems to be better of you two than the kids.
6 looks candid
7 seems distracted but cute
8 is good..
9 is fun

overall I would choose 8 or 4. In some of the pictures we lose you and olivia because of your lighter outfits/the flash... so I'd watch for that.

all in all- I think I have over analyzed this. hopefully it helps? love you all!
