A few examples from the Donaldson's last attempt (this was right before I started dating Stephen):
and then again at our wedding:

But much to my surprise the Cranney pictures were practically painless. After the short photo shoot 30 feet from their house, there were a dozen great pictures similar to the one below. The few ruined pictures were the ADHD and awkward poses of Christian and mine. I guess some things don't change even with a changed last name.

Rachel you are SO clever!You turn something boring into an absolutely delightful post! I love your blog.
Oh, they are great! Its amazing how easy pictures can be without toddlers and older brothers:). You guys look great and I love the colors!
ok, I admit to being the one complaining about being pregnant in all the family pictures, but really, the last two family pictures, I have been at least eight months pregnant - what kind of timing is that? ;) At least in the wedding one, I was three months post baby.
I like the Cranney family picture, very cute although you look a little emaciated. Doesn't Stephen feed you? Don't label little Christian as ADD just because he's a sweet lil' baby- consider yourself blessed.
very impressive to get that good a pic with that many people. i love the color scheme too--just the right amount of matchiness if you ask me!
Rachel, very nice post and Cranney family picture is beautiful. I love the colors! Christian and his cousins are so close in age. That is adorable!
I know we are SO bad. I think I'm the worst with my super cheesy fake smile. My kids are the same way, which is why I have never been able to bring myself to pay for professional pictures. By the way, you look a lot like grammy V in the first one.
It's so fun to see all these pictures! Nothing is better then family. I really hope I can have a big family someday :)
