Annual family portraits?

[Gus]

Do you have a family portrait taken every year? We don't, but we're going to start. I love looking at all the glowing family pics on Christmas cards.

I try to and our school used to do one as a fundraiser which I thought was a great idea but it is getting harder. I got a really nice camera for Christmas so I am starting to take pics of the kids on my own instead of hiring someone. Can't be in it too though for a family one!

Yup, pretty much every year at least. And I made the decision to move that portrait to summer last year (cheaper and less stressful!). I too got a nice camera and take pics of the kids on my own, but I don't think there is any replacement for a good quality professional photo (plus I've learned I can waste way way too much time on photoshop!). We got to a pretty pricey photographer for the family photo, and I take the kids there too for pictures at age 1 and 2 (usually get to cheap after that :P).

We do a professional one every other year. But take several of our family throughout the year at parties and on holidays.

Yes - we do it at least once a year. I'm a picture nut though.

[grits]

No. I'm camera adverse. I'm trying to change that though.

We take a professional family pic every year.

My husband is morally opposed to paying money for photos LOL! But he has taken some nice ones of us. Much better than wasting hours at a portrait studio.

We have for the past 2 yrs. Not sure about this year though, got to see how money runs.

This exactly.

I missed a few years but am back on the right track the last few years <3

I take pics of the kids all the time but I HATE getting in pics so I rarely do a family one. Plus...i'm always the one taking pics because dh is not a camera guy.

We have them taken several times a year if possible. It really depends on how I am feeling about how I look. ha! Since both my husband and I are photographers... we have friends that are professional photographers and getting our pictures taken is pretty easy.
