Aug 11: Help Me Choose, Part 2

Okay, besides having one wedding picture on this new wall of pictures, I also have to pick seven others. I'm thinking one will be from our 'four generations' photoshoot but I'm not entirely sure yet. I won't make you vote on that choice though, promise.

So for the other six images, I went through and pulled some favorites of our family. At first I thought I'd keep each shot to being more than one person in it (ie: not just a single kid shot) but whatever, that's not important. I think making all of the images black and white will be a cohesive theme enough, and some can have lots of people in them and some can be a single person. Posed and candids can balance each other out. I do want a wide variety of pictures and kind of like the comparison shots of 'parents plus newborn' with both Truman and Cecelia being itty bitty. But I want opinions here.

A. Will most likely do this one for sure. Cannot beat the magic of the first baby with new parents!


B. Also love this one of my baby Truman and his mommy. Photo by Andrea when Truman was about nine months.


C. Possibly this one of our family of three plus Henry around Christmas of 2010. Just because if I do a 'family of four' shot from later on, I like to have one when it was just us three, too. This one is by Andrea again.


D. HERE IS WHERE I NEED YOU. I will probably only do one from Cecelia's birth photography by Andrea and I am torn. Help!

See? It's hard.

E. I also really want to do one from Cecelia's newborn photoshoot with Andrea. I don't want these to be all CC and get very weird about making things 'equal', but come on. Adorable baby girl needs a spotlight here. Also, I would have A, B, and C from the 'Truman only' days to make it more equal. So potentially three of 'just Truman', I could do up to three of 'just Cecelia' and I'd still be ok in the sibling equality realm.


F. And do I also do one from the newborn 'family' shoot Andrea did for us, too? OMG.

G. Have to do a 'current' one of Cecelia during her one year photoshoot by Andrea. Man, Andrea---have you taken enough awesome pictures for us or what??


H. So then I need a 'current' one of Truman, too. I could do this one or convert one of the 'Truman only' shots into black and white, from Andrea's four generations photoshoot.


I. Then what about a picture with both of my kids tugging at the heartstrings?

J. And this is my favorite family-o-four-shot right now. I could always replace this one with our Christmas card photos each year to keep this wall semi-updated, though. Isn't it hard to get a bunch of prints on the wall and then they feel outdated instantly? Kind of like getting a new computer. It's awesome for a bit and then it seems to need an upgrade a day later. Whatever.



THIS IS OVERWHELMING, I know.

Throw some letters out there for me, folks. That's potentially ten photos up there and I can probably only do 6-7 since one will be a wedding picture and one might be a 'four generations' shot.

Or just pick your favorite one of all time up there and maybe that will help me make a decision, too. I hope this post doesn't hurt your head like mine.

Such a #firstworldproblem to have too many awesome pictures of my sweet family. I know.
