Family Portraits

Reminder to myself for the next round of family portraits:

1. You will be frustrated. Just know that going in...
2. The lead-up is worse than the actual session.
3. Do not take the 10am time-slot. It seems reasonable, but you will never get there in time.
4. Make sure Jack has pants that fit. And don't rest on your laurels if you JUST bought a bigger size. That doesn't mean they still fit.
5. Make sure Jack owns a non-patterned dress shirt.
6. Make sure the children own dress shoes.
7. Be ready to assure Ryker all morning that he will, in fact, be wearing pants. He will be worried.
8. Don't let Ryker stand in front of the door while Jack opens it.
9. Bring makeup so you can cover up the welt on Ryker's forehead from said door-opening incident.
10. Don't be surprised when Ryker is a male model and Jack wants to hold on to him for dear-life. This makes sense, given both of their personalities.
