Help me make this decision/Toni Elmer is the most talented photographer I know!


We got our proofs back from our photo sitting with Toni and now I am completely overwhelmed! I would love to say "I'll take one of each" and even though she is soooo reasonably priced for the quality that she puts out I can seriously not afford that! HELP FRIENDS! Click on the link below and go to "client proofing" at the top of the page (once you enter Toni's web site) enter in the password "Argyles" and then see all the amazing photos for yourself. I think it is easier if you stop the slide show by clicking on it and scroll through one by one. Leave your top ten. Thanks ladies! I value your opinions, all of you who frequent my blog.

Okay, I have given this a lot of thought...seriously like an hour because im too lazy to do housework and this just seemed more fun:) this was hard though, why couldnt you just have a less attractive family and make this easier on me! lol ok here goes my opinion:

1. 6...love this pic of her...who wouldnt?
2. 9...he looks too adorable in this one.
3. 42...what a great shot! although I did like #2 of him as well, I think #42 is just too great a shot!
4. 25...she looks beautiful here, and I love the background.
5. 28...this is a no brainer, if you dont get this one...I WILL!! lol.
6. 14...what a fun picture!!
7. 17...great family photo, so unlike the boring "posed" photos.
8. 21...another great family photo (you need 2) this one to me just tells a story.
9. 19...this one of you and Brent is amazing, I just love it.
10. now it was hard for me to end with just a 10th one because I liked #44 with you and Brady and thought you needed a special picture of you with just "your baby" but I also liked # 23 of just the girls or #30 with you and all the girls. but...since there are no pics of just the boys or dad with boys then I would go with #44 of you and Brady...a special pic just for you.
This way you get an indivual pic of each of your children...2 family photos, a picture of husband and wife....and then either a special pic of you and your baby or a pic with all the girls.
this was tough...but those are my choices...I hope I was of some help! :)
can't wait to see you guys on sat!

oh yea, the reason I love # 9 and # 28 soooo much is because the pictures make their eyes really POP and makes for a gorgeous photo!

Whoa, this was hard! I totally couldn't narrow it down to just 10 so here are my top 2 (or 3) for each person or group...

B: 9, 31...there are sooo many cute ones of him, you can't go wrong!
R: 7, 48
M: 13, 28...love the sparkle in her eyes!
T: 2, 51
J: 18, 25, 50...hard to choose!
You & Brent: 5, 19
Family: 17, 30... although I really like ALL the family ones, they're so fun!
Kids: 14, 16, 23
Other: 4, 44

Okay, so that's like double what you asked for, but it's just too hard to decide. Good luck!

Omigosh, that really is hard. She is a GREAT photographer, but then again, your family is very beautiful and photogenic at the same time. I can totally understand what you mean about wanting to buy some of ALL of them. I loved tons of them (seriously) but if I had to pick some I think I'd pick: 3,14,15,16,17,19,21,23,29

Wow, those are some CUTE pics! I have a bunch of faves. Keep in mind, my choices are the ones I'd pick to frame & hang on my wall. I left out some of the real fun ones b/c they're not as close up. Anyway, here they are:

Jenson: 009
Tanner: 042
Kiki: 006...her eyes...wow!!
Reagan: 028
Brady: 025
Family: 018
All the kids: 019...such a cute pic!
Mom & Dad: 051 just b/c you're both looking but I also love 017...you look gorgeous in that one!
All the Girls: 004..so cute!
Mom/Brady or Dad/Brady: 049 or 050

So, there you have it! Good luck choosing! I noticed a lot of people have different opinions than me, so you have your work cut out for you! Good luck!

Oh, man! I don't know. I guess you need to consider where you're going to put the pictures and that will help you decide... ?

Not a bad one in the bunch! The neat thing about photo shoots with Toni is that it is also a great memory. Kids love jumping off the red couch! I love Tanner's action shot.

Surprise McKinley!

Image
A week ago, McKinley's best friend, Caty, texted me and asked if she could throw McKinley a surprise birthday party on her birthday.  The girls had been challenged by their Young Women leaders to do a 10 hour project for Individual Worth and she thought it would make a great project to plan a fun party for her! She invited 14 fun friends to join in on the surprise. I wish I would have taken the time to take a picture of the cute chocolate fountain and home made cupcakes she made.  She had blown up about 20 balloons and when McKinley walked in to the house they jumped out and showered her with shredded paper. Then they went swimming.  Yes, in November and NO, they had not heated the pool. kiki and  Lexie   with Emily  and Molly  and Mallory  and Kylie H.  and Kaly   the Lloyd twins and Abbey  Megan  Kaylie W.  Michaela  and Kylie P who ...

Builders vs. Wreckers

Image
A little poem I heard from John Bytheway on a BYU fireside (on BYUTV) today. Makes me stop and go "hmmmmm....." I might have another resolution to add to my growing list..... Builders vs. Wreckers I passed one day through a lonely town And saw men tearing a building down. With a ho-heave-ho and a husky yell They swung at a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled- The kind you’d hire if you had to build?” “Oh no!” he chuckled, “No indeed- The common laborer is all I need.” “Why I can destroy in a day or two What builders have taken weeks to do.” I thought to myself as I went on my way “Which of these rolls have I tried to play? Am I the builder who works with care Strengthening lives by rule and square, Shaping my peers to a well made plan- Helping them do the best they can- Or am I a wrecker who walks around Content with the labor of tearing down?” -Author Unknown
