Help Needed

Today we got some pictures taken. We want to use one of these for our adoption profile, so we want to pick the best one. We understand that maybe it's not the best picture of each of us individually, like any family picture -- so we're looking for the overall best -- the one that captures a good feeling. Ya know? Which would you want up on the wall. That kind of thing. (Click on the picture to get a better view)


#1 -- This one we'd zoom in a little cutting off the girls dangling legs.


#2 -- We'd photoshop Dylan out, as cute as he is.


#3 -- Sammy is a little "over-smiley" maybe. But not sure.

#4 -- Girls not the happiest, but not upset at least.

#5 -- Marcus and I are a little squinty...but we aren't sure if it distracts from our family picture at all.




Scott, it seems like you're our family photo guy. Thanks for taking our pictures...again!

    Yes, Tyler's likes...whoa...guess it's time for me to go to bed. And those pictures (all of them) turned out really well. The setting is beautiful and the girls really look cute. A great looking family, overall :)

    Number THREE for sure! Okay, really whatever you choose, you know. But I like #3 the best. You guys look natural, Samantha looks so happy, and composition-speaking, I like the setting way better over the head on into the camera with the horizon line behind you. Go with three. :) Two other people agreed with me! And one of them was Reagan. And we know that she's pretty much always right. ;) ha ha.

    You're a babe, Jen.

    Let me clarify, because I was typing fast. I like the composition of #3 way better than the pictures where you are all looking head-on into the camera and the horizon line is right behind you.

    Make sense? :)

    I like #3 and #5. But they all turned out great. It's hard to get a good photo with kids - good work!! You all look happy and there is definitely a "good feeling" about all of the pictures - you know, that nice warm happy family feeling. :) These will be great for the adoption profile and the wall in your home.

    I love them all, but I'd suggest#5 for your adoption photo.

    This was difficult because your family is so beautiful in each of them. I think #3 and #5 were at the top. Best wishes:)

    I vote 1. Everyone is looking at the camera, nothing distracting going on (squinty eyes, ball in Callie's hand, etc) and you look like nice people. And that's saying a lot since I don't actually know you and the only time I "met" you was in Target and I seemed like a stalker.

    I think number 2 is the best because it is the most natural, and I mean that between you and Marcus. You two look really good together and I like how you are closer and the girls are on the outside. I think the adoption families will look at you two first of all. I think it has the freshest look.

    I vote for 3, but 1 is good too. Sammy looks the happiest in 3 and so do you guys. We miss you. Good luck.

    I honestly think you could use any of them, but I'm going to say #2 or #3...Sammy is so adorable in #3. You look gorgeous in all of them, btw.

    I LOVE #3. To me it has the most personality. And when it comes to a photo for your adoption file - you need to show your family's personality. Personality in a photo is what makes a photo memorable. I LOVE that picture. That would be my #1 choice hands down. (Not that the others aren't nice, they are beautiful!, but other families may have pics of them standing and smiling and you want to set yourself apart.) I feel like I am seeing the REAL Greens in that picture.
