Family Portrait

Once upon a time, in a land far far away (for many of you), back when there were only 8 grandkids (I believe), there was a Grandchildren/Cousins portrait taken. It's very cute, hanging up in Bubbie and Zaide's house. All those kids with cute little denim and white outfits, half of them crying hysterically. And yes, I have heard the horror stories of trying to get that picture taken.
Can you guess where I am going with this?
How does everyone feel about another Grandkids/Cousins picture? Seeing as there are now 15 kiddies (ok, Oldest - maybe you aren't a Kiddie...maybe...at least not a little one). And seeing as we are coming up on a "reunion" (?) that may not happen again for awhile. I think it's that time again!!!
But we probably don't need to go to a portrait studio (do they even have those in Israel?) From what I hear, Simmy's backyard is nice. And we do have a major par-tay coming up too.
So the question is clothing. We can attempt a pre-Shabbas picture (But things may be a little craaaazy) with everyone dressed in their Sabbath best. And we can remember to take a picture at the wedding this time (since we didn't at the last 2) assuming everyone is awake at the same time! Or maybe we can also try a casual picture (More like the one from long ago). Should we plan a color scheme? Stick with denim and white? Doesn't matter?
Any thoughts?

  • It may be easier to take separate pictures and then superimpose them....I think every kid should dress up with something to do with their name. For example, Shilo can wear something light blue....

  • I think that is a great idea. Friday will probably be crazy, we can try though. I think it should be whatever they are wearing, too much planning never works!!

  • Yaak, you're just bitter because you like to pretend those Israeli nieces and nephews don't exist anymore. A picture will be a constant reminder that they do!

  • st of ll, I have a very nice picture from Shu and Nats wedding of Zayde and me with all the grandchildren of the time. also a picture outside of the car rental place at the airport of all the children in assorted car seats!!!!!

    We would like to do a new picture, I'd like to get Boca Bubbie and Saba in it as well, up at S & G's.

    Also, being that this photographer is English speaking, and understands group shots, we have a better chance of the WHOLE family at the wedding

    Looking forward to you all joining me.
