A “back-to-school” photo shoot always sounds like more fun than it actually is.
Lots of ideas this momma wants to try out + four kids who have other ideas = a stressful morning of hair curling, clothes matching, fit throwing, prop finding, and smile prompting to get just the right pictures. In the end, I resorted to a shameful use of bribery – leftover birthday cake and ice cream for any child found to be participating and following directions. Worked like a charm…
Welcome Back to School!

Thanks Sara. Of corse - steal away! (The idea isn't my original...shhh...don't tell.) Are you doing back to school pics?
It's not a bribe, it's a reward! How you frame things is everything!

Wow, beautiful pictures! Tell me you do this for more than a hobby! First time to you your blog...your littlest sounds a lot like my little girl, and I love your older girl's favorite things...sleeping beauty, some day my prince will come...how sweet =)
Well, it looks like the bribery was WELL worth it! Great pics!
Ok, I am officially inspired! But now I only have a week to find props!
SOOO cute! These pictures are great! Hopefully you can just remember the positives when looking back at them and not the whining, right? ;)
Love your pictures and I am impressed you were able to get so many. Your children are very adorable.
Side note - I received the comment you left on my blog but somehow I accidentally deleted it when I was trying to reply back to you. I am sorry. If you visited again, I didn't want you to think I purposely didn't publish your comment. Thanks for taking the time to leave one.
