    Maddie appears to not really enjoy photography. I never did, either.
    Actually it's Malcolm (the middle boy) that usually is a problem during pictures. Maddie tends to be more photogenic.

    You couldn't imagine how hard it is to get five small children all looking in the same direction at the same time, let alone smiling!

    Our definition of a sucessful family photo is when none of the kids look overtly goofy. :-)

    Back to the original post, he's a fine looking lad, and it certainly shows that he is very pleased with your new creation for him. A fine looking family indeed.

    Great set of pictures Matt. You have a beautiful array of "coffee cups".

    I can sympathize with you Matt. We have seven children, ranging in ages from 35 to 11. Group photos can be a real test of a photographer's skill, patience, and sanity.

    Then when we add in the grandchildren, it's enough to make some want to run and...

    As a mall Santa, I totally understand getting multiple kids looking in the same direction.

    You've got a very handsome family Matt. The boys look very comfortable in their kilts, being dressed just like Daddy (except for that day).
