girls girls girls

i know i said you wouldn’t be hearing from me this week, but i need help.

we are working hard on the girls’ room. okay, googiedaddy is working hard. mainly i share unsolicited opinions give him advice and sweep the floor.

oh—and i do all the cyber shopping. and that is HARD.

i mean, really—sometimes i have like 5 or 6 different screens open at once. and then i have to keep it all straight in my head—was that rug at target.com or amazon? did i see those curtains at ikea or did i just dream that?

annnnyyyway…
one of my "girls' room" pinned inspiration photos is this:

and i LOVE the large print of the girls. it just says “SISTERS” to me.

so i bathed, brushed, blowdried and beautified my girlies four and set out to try and get one decent shot i could have printed up on a large canvas.

whoda thunk i would get more than one option?

and i CAN NOT decide. so, i need your help!

OPTION #1image
i love gigi’s goofy face—so her. elliot looks cute, guinevere looks pretty, and ava has her typical silly face.

OPTION #2image
not your typical shot, i know. but i love the relaxed, casual feel of this one. i love that elliot leaned in for a nuzzle on gigi’s cheek. and guinevere and ava’s more relaxed faces are cute.

OPTION #3image
a basic, happy shot of the four girls. gigi is looking a little crazy, but, well…that’s gigi.

OPTION #4image
some more serious faces. and a bit of a blurry gigi. but i like it.

OPTION #5image
what is there to say? another one i love

OPTION #6image
similar to the last one, just a slightly different look.

OPTION #7image
everyone smiling. amazing.

so there you have it. it’s a decent investment—ordering a canvas print in a big size. so i want to make sure it’s a shot i love.
honestly—yes, i would probably love any one of these. and i know which one(s) i'm leaning towards...
but i must know…what do YOU think? i set up a little poll over on the left sidebar there.
<----------------------------o v e r ---t h a r ------------------
 i’ll even let you vote for more than one… thanks!

the room is cranking right along...and it's looking awesome! i'm so excited! i've been photographing each stage, so be ready for a massive series of blog posts at the end!

  1. There is something about the first one. Not sure why I see that some eyes are closed, but its got an unrehearsed in the moment feel, rather than a posed one like the last one. As the mother of three girls, my pick is #1! Any one will be stunning. You need to go with the one that tugs at your heart instead of which is the "best" pic.
    Good luck!

  3. i think that's what i want--the 'in the moment' feel vs. posed.
    problem is--they're my girlies! any photo of them tugs at my heart! hehe...
    thanks for your opinions--i LOVE your photos, so it means a lot to hear from you!

  4. That IS a tough decision... and I'm not even their mama! I really love the background in 5 and how the light bounce off the top of their heads and lightens the whole shot. I also really like number one because they all look so fun and casual. Tough call. The good thing? No matter which one you choose it'll look awesome!

  5. I Love number 5. I think it's the light in that one

  6. I think I like #5 best as well. Great light and I like the way they're posed and the smiles. This will be an awesome addition to their room.

  10. I think #1 is my favorite, but 5 and 7 are close behind. Such great photos of such beautiful girls. I just had a 20x30 print made at Costco for only $8. I know it isn't a canvas, but have you looked into making your own (with mod podge)? Good luck! Can't wait to see how it turns out.

  11. just gotta put in my 2 cents.....love them ALL--1 is wonderful BUT 7 is my favorite because (this may seem silly) I dont have to tilt my head to appreciate the beautiful faces and expressions. I like the composition, that they are all on the same level, the light, the faces! You got an eye googs

  16. I say one or six, those are my faves, I love the candid look of the first but the clarity of the sixth, any of these will be perfect though! Definitely following you now, great blog!
