Last weekend, we drove out to Navasota, a small town about an hour away to meet my good friend Maureen to do family pictures.
Maureen has been a friend for just about as long as I can remember! She also has taken our family pictures a bunch of times before. It is not easy to wrangle kids for photos, especially 7 of them, but she makes it fun each time and my kids LOVE her!
Maureen has also taken birth photos when I had Rush, my 6th. I went into labor and Maureen drove an hour to sit at the hospital with me for hours to only have them send me home. Five days later, she drove back again in the middle of the night and took a set of the most precious pictures I own. The images she captured of that sweet little boy being delivered by my husband, are absolutely priceless.
It takes a real friend to take those pictures for you! Let me tell you!
I am ordering 1 of every picture she took this time they are so good! There are individuals of each of us that ROCK! Plus, she got my 14 year old to smile so I love her even more!
OHH! And she also took the picture of me and the kids, that my brother used to draw my header on this blog!
But, I need your help!
My living room has a space for a large picture, and I want it to be a family picture. I can’t decide between these 3!
This is where you guys come in! I need you to vote which one I should get as my “big” family picture to hang in the living room for the next 10 years 🙂
** Disclosure: I was NOT compensated for this post. I LOVE Maureen and think she is the BEST at what she does and love her dearly, I just wanted you to help me vote on our AWESOME pictures she took and give her a shout out for being the BEST!

I love the bottom picture. You get to see a little of everybody’s personality.
Bottom because everyone looks good and you can see Andie’s face. Is Rush going for hair? 😉
You look like a rockstar tiffany! HOt!
Tough call! I voted for #3 in the poll but after taking a second look, I REALLY like the train tracks.
I love them all, but the middle one is my favorite.
P.S. I’m loving your shoes in that picture!
Voted for pic 1…
I think the bottom one is unique in that its not “typical” portrait, and i like that its closer in , clearly see faces, etc, but the second one is nice too , the train tracks, I didnt care for baby coupon clippers face Isn’t clear, and everyone is just so far from the camera
I like the first and the last ones the best
bottom its unique and everybody’s smiling
My favorite one is the one in front of the garage.
I liked that one too!!
The bottom one is the one that I like best. I like them all but the bottom one shows personality, and family fun!.
I love all the pics. But I choose the 3rd one. Luv Ya Guys.
My vote is the train tracks. Everyone looks great! The bottom one is fun, but I think that the kids may not like how they look in it in a few years. The top one is timeless.
Bottom picture it’s awesome!!!
I vote for the bottom one!!!!!
I like the railroad, the house, and the looking into the camera ones.
Tough decisions. They are all awesome!
I really like the bottom one. You get a glimpse of everyone’s personalities. I like looking at pics like this and seeing my kids for who they are everyday and not a “pose”.
Second choice would be the train tracks. The pic where everyone is lined up is really cool but everyone is too far away. I love the idea of everyone watching the “baby”…b/c that’s what we all do.
Great pics Maureen!
Bottom one for fun and #3 for 10 yrs.!
I like the bottom one too!
I love the one by the Train tracks.
I really like the one in front of the garage. You look awesome after haveing 7 kids! I love famliy pictures… Now if I could only get the thru to my husband.
I like the bottom one the best with everyone close! 2nd best is the one in front of the garage.
You look great, Tiffany! I like the one by the train tracks best, but they are all great.
Thanks Becky!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the last one! You guys are such a rockin family!
LOL! Thank you!
I love the one where everyone is in line except your baby! Everyone looks amazing, and it is such a unique and adorable poze. That is the one i would put on my wall. They are all amazing though so you can’t go wrong.
I love the 1st and 3rd but out of those two I think the 3rd, the one in front og the garage is the best
The top photo with the whisping grass “Weeds” and the sun and railroad tracks. That seems like a classical on the wall large photo. The bottom one is fun too but not for a main focus photo, just my opinion.
They are all exceptional photos. I like the train tracks picture for a wall portrait. But the family close up is unique and I would put that in a frame on a side table. That one is a great picture. Lovely family by the way.
The one where you are all standing against the wall looks more modern – like you could be doing a commercial ad. I am not sure if decor in your home is modern but if it is, then that would be a great photo to hang up on the wall.
I love them all but I vote the bottome one where you can see everyones faces.
I love the very first one the top one !
I am impressed! I’m stressed out about how to get my 3 to cooperate next week! 🙂
The bottom is my fav but I also LOVE LOVE LOVE the train tracks! I also love the one with your baby walking away. I have a 20 month old diva and I can so see her doing that also.
Good luck in deciding!
I would have to say the train tracks as well!
I LOVE them all, but my favorites are the First One (train tracks) abd the Last One (looking up shot).
Good Luck choosing – whatever it will be I know it will look great in your living room. You and Paul have a BEAUTIFUL Family.
I voting for pic 1!
In front of the garage or the last one in front of a building. Good pics.
I vote for pic #3 the bottom one where everyone is looking down at the camera and tall building in the back. It’s a pretty awesome shot.
I think the bottom one since you can see everyones faces so well but I LOVE the 1st one too!
I really like the middle one. The garage picture. I believe that whatever picture you decide will be perfect.
I love the bottom one – it draws you into the family – lots of fun 🙂
I like the 3rd (in front of the garage). It’s a close-up so you can see everyone’s face so clearly.
I like the one where it looks like your little one is trying to escape! Shes adorable!
The very last one!!!!
#1
I love the one by the train tracks!! Everyone looks so sweet in it
I like the one of ya’ll up against the brick wall. Super cool
The last one is my fav. You guys look awsome in it.
The first is my favorite for a 10 year shot. But they all look great. Isn’t it nice when you have “too many choices”? I never have that problem with my kids. LOL
The first one is by far my favorite one!
I liek the one with everyone looking down… the last picture but you are right they are all great!
I will go with #3. I like the first one because of the wall and the red pipe. Really cool and rustic looking. However, with the third pic you get to see everyones face and it has a lot of personality. Great looking family by the way!
I love the very last one. It looks so HAPPY and fun. IF not that one, then the very first one is my runner up, but they are all great!
I like the bottom one. Everybody seems to be smiling and it captured the personality.
I love the bottom one!! You have an awesome family Tiffany, and I still can’t beleive you’ve had 7 kids you look great!!
1st one
i vote for the first one
In front of the garage door! Cute pic!
The one by the cement wall in black and white with just the pink color showing! Love that the baby is walking away, awesome picture! They are all awesome, so Hard to choose. I buy 2 or 3 8X10’s sometimes and then rotate them every few months/years/ whenever I remember! GOOD LUCK
I love the Rail Road Tracks picture! They are all cute though.
They are all great! I like the one by the railroad tracks the best.
Tiffany- what brand are your jeans? I’ve been looking for a good brand. 🙂
I love the bottom picture!! They are all really great!!
The bottom one is good but if I were putting it in my living room the one with the rock wall is almost like a painting. It fits in a living room better.
It is more unique than the rest and is more artistic. Good luck deciding. I have 8 children of my own and it is not easy to get them to smile for the camera and then to choose well … One is always cuter in one than in another.
I like the one with the littlest one walking away.
Certainly youhave more than 1 wall… get them all! And the last one should go in the bathroom! That would be hysterical to sit down to pee and see all of you with silly smiles staring back at me!
i love the bottom one where everyone is looking down to the camera. looks like they are all having fun.
I Love the First one by the train tracks! Beautiful Family!!! Maureen takes some great photos too 🙂
The bottom pic is FABULOUS!!! Makes me think you guys are fun, warm, & friendly! ALL the pics are wonderful though!!! Great family!!!
By far the train tracks…Tiffany you look like a model, your hubby looks like a rock star who knows he’s the luckiest guy in the world and your kids…my God they’re beautiful!!!!
bottom pic gets my vote great looking family . thank you for all your help for us wanna be couponers . sharlene
I LOVE the last one too!! They all look great though, but the last one is my favorite 🙂
I love the train tracks!! It’s awesome!
I say go with the last one. I agree, everyone looks like they are having fun. And the first one is my second pick. Awesome shots though. 🙂
Pic #1
I love the first one. But the second one where your littlest is walking away is cute too.
I like the first one! 🙂
I like the second one!
I love them all but the one by the railroad tracks is my favorite! Great pictures! (PS, I met you at the park today! Nice to meet you. Your family is precious!)
The second is the best!
I love the last one. It’s got personality…They are all good. It would be hard to choose…Good luck!
The second like the wall, the Red pipe and of course the handsome family.
Great pic. 🙂
The second one in front of garage.
The 3rd one. You can see everyone’s face in it.
I like the first photo- super cute. We found Maureen through your blog last year and she is awesome! She took the best pictures of our family last year so we had her do them again this year and they rock.
Wow, Tiffany! You and the family look amazing! These are all great.
