Say CHEESE

Me: "Miss Peach, how was school picture day?"

Miss Peach: "It went fine...I smiled:)"

Me: "How did the other kids pictures turn out?"

Miss Peach: "Oh...not as good as mine."

Now...hold onto your hearts...

Little Man's school picture...

Is.

The.

Saddest.

Thing.

Ever.
I just want to hold my little sweetie...He's. So. Sad:(

What should I do? Should I do a retake? There's something very endearing about this picture...I'm torn...

  2. I have to agree with Rachel. I think that although he looks incredibly sad, it's still an adorable photo. They're both so gorgeous. :)

  5. I'd keep it. It's who he is at the age he is.

    I've got a similar one of my son during his first year of preschool. I think there are actually tears in his eyes. I was so sad at first when I saw it, but now, 2 years later I can see how far he's come. It's all good.

  6. Your daughter looks so happy and proud. Your poor son looks traumatized. I don't think he wanted to take the picture. I'm still waiting for our pictures. I'm kinda scared.

  7. I agree with Life as I know it... this was Little Man that day.
    Every year the school pictures will be so different and so great... I have two sets of 12 school pictures ... we won't talk about the camp photos and ballet school and karate ... oy !

  8. LOL!! Miss Peach is a girl after my own heart! IDK what to do about Lil Man but that pic makes me laugh! I promise in a good way. Just because he looks so pitiful. Poor thing!

  10. Oh... Poor little guy. Why was he so sad? BUT. Keep it. I am philosphically opposed to re-takes. Also, our school pictures came home just today. Seriously, this is the last year I'm buying them. They're NEVER good. It's like literally putting $40 into an envelope and hiding it on a back closet shelf. There is just no point, besides guilt, of course.

    They are BOTH adorable. Sad or not.

  11. Both of those children look like you - but - keep that shot of him. That is so much better than a shot with one of those pasted on, fake smiles that kids so love to foist upon us. And someday, when he's grown to a confident, self-assured young man, going back to that picture will remind you of just how much he's grown, and what he was like when he was 'That Age' - because you'll be so caught up in the 'here and now' that it will be hard to look back and really remember properly.

  12. KEEP IT. The not-quite-perfect photos are always the best ones!

  13. I say it's a keeper. (He does break your heart though!) Dang those kids look like you!

  14. Keep it! There's nothing better than school pictures!

  15. I'd keep it. School pictures are a fabulous, albeit, goofy moment in time. And this is one to remember.

  16. I love them both. I adore the less-than perfect pictures, especially of kids.

    Miss Peach's response is too much...

  17. I'd keep it! I think he'll love it as he gets older- it's very cute!!

  18. I think you should definitely keep this one! Otherwise if you have retakes you'll always wish you had kept this one.
