we are working hard on the girls’ room. okay, googiedaddy is working hard. mainly i
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 #1
i love gigi’s goofy face—so her. elliot looks cute, guinevere looks pretty, and ava has her typical silly face.
OPTION #2
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 #3
a basic, happy shot of the four girls. gigi is looking a little crazy, but, well…that’s gigi.
OPTION #4
some more serious faces. and a bit of a blurry gigi. but i like it.
OPTION #5
what is there to say? another one i love
OPTION #6
similar to the last one, just a slightly different look.
OPTION #7
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!
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.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!

the first one
ReplyDeletei think that's what i want--the 'in the moment' feel vs. posed.
ReplyDeleteproblem 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!
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!
ReplyDeleteI Love number 5. I think it's the light in that one
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteknowing the girls as I do, I think #1 really shows their individual personalities well.--Tina
ReplyDeleteI like the first one and the last one, but the second one also has a lot of appeal!
ReplyDeleteMy vote is either #1 or #7. Such great pics!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletejust 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
ReplyDeletecn

ReplyDelete5 is your best shot. Beauties, all of them. :)
ReplyDeleteI 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!
