Even if I had 200 extra buckaroos to give to the school photographer, I wouldn't do it.
But they ask me to. Every stinkin' year!
I could have my kids run around as if playing a heated game of soccer
until you could smell the sweat through the picture,
have them smudge some of their lunch on their face,
ask them to give me a fake smile,
and shoot the picture just as easily here at home
and KEEP the $200!
So I did.
We had our own 'school pictures' in our front yard.
Much more pleasant. Much more affordable. Much more real.

Group shots?... a different story.
I need to pay someone else to do this part.
The lighting...
terrible
The kids...
no one could look at the camera at the same time or keep their hands down
And Eve?....
... she was DONE!
I'm outta here!
