Boys Yearly Pics 2009

Last Thursday, I woke up and decided it was time to get some updated pictures taken of the boys. In the past, I have stressed too much about what they need to wear, how long it has been since their last haircut, if they have any bruises, and how perfect I want them to look. This year I just decided that we would go in, wear whatever was clean and semi-matched, and would just be happy to have them done.

I have to say that the pictures turned out much better than I had expected. I think being spontaneous about it helped the boys have a fun experience rather than a stressful experience because of a mom worrying too much about perfect photos.

I imagine that someday soon I'll wake up and decide we should get our family picture done too; but until then, you can enjoy the cuteness of the Harrison boys:

Korben Michael Harrison
4 Years Old

From Boys Yearly 2009 Note: This year Korben was great about posing and looking right at the camera. I love those pics, but I also love the one of him ready to run because it shows how fun his personality is - he wasn't running to be a pill, he was running because he was excited to have his picture taken. I also like that you can see his long lanky legs. This picture made me wonder if he was going to be tall like his great grandpas.

Logan Spencer Harrison
2 Years Old

From Boys Yearly 2009 Note: Logan was hard to contain and all of his pictures were taken in between escape attempts. :D I'm not usually a fan of diaper shots, but I love the enthusiasm that was captured in both the sitting and standing pictures-they truly show Logan's zeal for life. I also like how well the standing one shows his Harrison dimple - it looks so much like his Grandma Gloria's and I love that.

The Harrison Boys 2009

From Boys Yearly 2009 Note: I love how the smiles are so fitting in this picture. Logan's is a natural smile because he thinks he's being funny as he tries to escape; Korben's smile isn't his typical one because he was trying to smile and keep his brother sitting down-which you can see in his eyes. What a tribute to the carefree younger brother vs. the responsibility that can already be seen in the older brother. I sure love my little boys!
