waste of money?

Okay what is up with my girls school pictures? These are the RE TAKES! I am debating getting my money back because they look so scraggly in the pictures. I swear they looked cute when they left and their hair looked brushed and some time between walking to the bus and taking this picture they became unkept. Do you think I should just get my money bakc and take them somewhere else to get their pictures taken? I just don't think they are very cute.
And what is that face? Didn't the technician see that it was a wierd face? She doesn't even look like she is smiling! She looks like she is in mid sentence. Anyway I need your opinions. Take them back or revell in the cuteness of their imperfections?

I totally agree. I hate school pics. I could take them for nothing, and they would look so much better. Who takes school pics anyway?

I think school pictures are always bad, mine were rarely cute. If they let you get a refund then do it maybe and get them done at sears or something. (I don't think they look horrible though, but yes it does look like josey is talking :) )

They both are really cute-smiling or not!! I think Maddy's is a keeper, and if you think you want to go for a better one(smiling that is) on Josey's, I say go for it!! At least if you keep them though, they are still cute!

I think that they look cute. Josey looks like she is talking but I do not think that their hair looks bad. I have never bought Sam school photos.

Maybe you should keep them as little mementos for the girls. Don't we all look back at those hideous elementary school photos and wonder why our mothers kept them or didn't do retakes?
If you feel like you won't display these pictures if you keep them, then I would ask for a refund.
I think those school photographers are whipping thru the kids too fast to care about what the outcome will be...they just want their money.

Oops--pushed the publish button too fast!
I was also gonna say how Zach's picture this year came back and he wasn't even looking straight into the camera but kind of off to the side! I agree with everyone else, I don't think your girls' pictures are that bad--they're cute no matter what!

they are so cute! school pictures are always horrible. i think back to my 8th grade picture when my quote said "just smile and nod" and that is exactly what i look like i am doing in my picture. hideous.

Oh my gosh Jess, those pictures made me laugh so hard... well mostly your commentary about looking like she is in mid-sentence. I am totally giggling. I think they are hilarious and you should keep them. And Alli's pictures WERE always much worse, she literally in one of them looked like a cocker spaniel. Just ask her. This was of course before the "Reber transformation" that inevitably happened to every Reber girl before freshman year of high school.
