Dr. Jones and the Spitting Camel - Link to Alaska Cruise TR 9/18

What a great photo session! Eric and Evan both look adorable. And I think the "couple" pics of you guys on the rocks turned out really nice!

Photos in the heat are rough, though. It's hard enough to smile and look pretty indoors, in ordinary temperature.
 
There are some really great pictures in the bunch! I am glad that you liked them as well and thought it was a good value. I love the scenery at WL for those pictures as well. :goodvibes

And even before I read your comment about you looking so short I was thinking: Cynthia looks tiny in these pictures, she isn't sooooo petite like she looks like in these pics. :confused3 Especially K&T look like giants next to you - just like when other people are photographed next to Liesa and your are definitely taller than Liesa! :thumbsup2
 
Great photo session and wow...I think that was such a great value as well!! :thumbsup2
I like all of the backgrounds too.....and they aren't too "Disney" ;) Not that there is anything wrong with that of course but I think they were great locations :thumbsup2
Man...are you ever going to eat?!!! :rotfl:

Okay so I have a mental note to myself to strategically place myself away from you and Jen if we have any PP pictures so as not to accentuate my vertically challenged self :rolleyes1

of the couple shots, those are my favorites

Isn't that the truth!

I love the colors and am really happy I went with the white shirts, love it against all the green!

Tiny is not the word I could have used, nor petite. :rotfl:

Taylor is tall and has those broad shoulders so it does make the rest of us look small in comparison. Jeff is not tall but not short either. K and I are actually about the same height but I think between the blondness, all that hair (compared to my stick straight fine hair) and broader shoulders for her as well make her look quite a bit tall than I.

I'm 5'6 1/2, which I'd consider average but not short by any means.

Great photo session and wow...I think that was such a great value as well!! :thumbsup2

we were starting to wonder the same thing about food! I found it interesting they wanted to wait. I love the backgrounds as well. Except for the indoor one, I didn't like those at all.

:rotfl: So will I look like a giant? :rotfl: Mary Ellen and I are about the same height I think, it will be interesting! Jen's taller?
 

You got some really great pictures there. I like the ones by the waterfall and the water, oh and the bridge.

Since I've followed your TRs, Evan has always cracked me up as being so cool, seemingly without even trying.
 
What a great photo shoot. I love the "James Dean" reference and I can so see that in his face. :)

So you thought it worth it. I'm really thinking of doing this for Mark and I, although I think I'd want to do it at the Poly. Do you have to stay at the resort that it is done at, or you can just book an appointment?
 
Great PP pics! I liked so many of them!! I think we are going to do one in Sep. At the Poly!! A friend did theirs there and they turned out awesome. To hijack-Kathy- you can just make an appt at the place you want.
 
Your photos came out so well! What a beautiful family you have. I think we're going to have to do some photopassing in May!

3 hours from double digit dancing... :banana:
 
Caught up again! WOW! Your updates are fabulous!!! I love your photo session pictures!!! They came out great!! I'd love to do a WDW photo session again!

Your room at YC looks FABULOUS! I can't believe it was ready! How great is it that the CM guaranteed connecting rooms?!

OMG! I hope Paul was OK! My Dad and DH's Dad both have had really bad gout at times! I know it's very painful! I hope they were able to give him something to manage the pain for the plane trip!

Can I tell you how excited I am that we're double digit dancing!?! :banana::cool1:g:banana::cool1: I can't wait for this trip! It's going to be such a blast!!!!!!!!!!

We were pleasantly surprised by how good some of them were!

LOL! Well, he tries. HARD actually. It matters very much to him. The funny thing of it all is he is coolest when he's not trying, he actually does have a natural cool factor but sometimes he really tries too hard. It's getting better. Sometimes.

Then again we are in Evan smack down so that always settles it down a little. :rotfl:

What a great photo shoot. I love the "James Dean" reference and I can so see that in his face. :)
It is SO Evan, that expression. Says a lot right there. Paragraph face as Jeff calls it.

So you thought it worth it. I'm really thinking of doing this for Mark and I, although I think I'd want to do it at the Poly. Do you have to stay at the resort that it is done at, or you can just book an appointment?

You can just book it at any deluxe that offers it. WL, BC, GC, Poly and AK (I think, not positive about AK). Or you can just walk up. If you are lucky you'll catch one just working the area anyway and get a few shots without the session committment. WL actually does family portraits every night in the lobby. But as you can see, those were my least favorite ones, it's so pretty outside! We had a PP Photographer approach us at the BC for some candids which you'll see later. We weren't staying at the BC, had just walked back the long way from the BW heading back to the YC and he kind of stopped us as we were walking. Those are some of my favorite shots from the whole trip!

Great PP pics! I liked so many of them!! I think we are going to do one in Sep. At the Poly!! A friend did theirs there and they turned out awesome. To hijack-Kathy- you can just make an appt at the place you want.

The Poly has so many pretty settings!

I think we might have to! I think Trish did one there a few trips ago? Trish, is that right (if you see this)? I know just the surprise few we did at BC were outstanding. And funny. But you'll have to wait a little to see those, they are a few days away still.

Caught up again! WOW! Your updates are fabulous!!! I love your photo session pictures!!! They came out great!! I'd love to do a WDW photo session again!

Sounds like Christine is in, I'm in (could really use a decent picture of just me but won't hold my breath either)....what about everyone else? May girls photo shoot?

The rooms are to die for, literally. I didn't want to leave them! Though oddly I did like our balcony at WL better. With one major exception that will become clear soon.

The gout thing is crazy!!!

Can I tell you how excited I am that we're double digit dancing!?! :banana::cool1:g:banana::cool1: I can't wait for this trip! It's going to be such a blast!!!!!!!!!!

Me too!!!!!!

Such beautiful pictures Cynthia.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!! Despite it being ridiculously hot and sweaty, it went pretty fast and she made it as painless as it possibly could have been.
 
Cynthia -

The pictures all turned out great. I think everyone looks great - I don't know what you are talking about. Although, I will give this round to Kendall for being most photogenic. She really got some spectacular photos - hair up and hair down!

Lovely place for a photo shot, but I can definitely see that the heat/sun could be a bit overwhelming.
 
Beautiful photos!
I agree with you about the photo session. It really does depend on the photographer you get and the time of day you schedule it. I love that they take lots of shots. But it does take a bit of time. We've done two, Poly and GF. This August, we'll try the BC.

I'm guessing you went to Beaches & Cream for lunch...

She really did. She had the poses and the smile down just right too....must be all that self posing they all do in the apple store and the endless self portraits with the camera. :rotfl: I don't think there is a bad one of her in the bunch which cannot be said for the rest of us (well maybe Evan too). It was so nice to have so many good ones to choose from although honestly it made the selecting take a bit longer as a result!

Oh MY was it hot. Sweltering. Silk blouse. VERY VERY bad idea. I contemplated just tossing that shirt afterwards. LOL!

Thanks Jennifer! Which ones did you like better? GF or Poly? See, this is why you should do a TR, we never get to see any pics!!!

Beaches and Cream huh....
 
Those are some fab pictures !!


You say it was sweltering but really you could not tell.
It is nice when you get those great family shots but sometiems those candids where you can see the personality shine through are the best ones.

Oh my gosh was it hot. Heat rising off of those rocks, let me tell you! Honestly on this trip there were 4 times that really stand out in my mind that stand out as truly miserable from a heat perspective. This wasn't QUITE there and not remotely in the league with the top two but UGH. Had it been longer, it probably would have. SOOOO hot. I expected it, it was August, but somehow hadn't thought of the picture impact. DOH. :rotfl:

So very true about the candids!
 
I'd say for all the great shots you got, the shoot is quite a phenomenal deal! And I agree, the WL really lends itself well to pretty pictures and a family photo session!

Come March- I do hope you can make it then!!- we can get a side-by-side and see just who looks like what. ;)
 
Fabulous photos, Cynthia! How wonderful to have the shots of the family together, and individually. Although it has already been a hectic day for you, and I suspect will continue to be, what great timing to schedule this.

Get some food, already!!!

That would be so much fun! I wonder if they would take pictures of us with margarita in our hands ;)
