To the Parent who doesn't want to have family photos taken

As much as you may hate being in front of the camera, here are the best reasons to put on your nice shirt and smile with your favorite people.

 

1) You love your significant other. 

2) You love your kid(s). 

3) It's an excuse to tell all the cheesy jokes you want. (whatever it takes to get little Jimmy and Julia to laugh =) ). 

4) It's an opportunity to goof around and snuggle with your kids. 

5) It's a chance to smooch your significant other. 

6) I will work as quickly as possible to torture you as little as possible ;) 

7) You will never regret having photos of you with your kids when you could still lift them over your head. You will never regret giving your kids tangible proof of just how much you love them and how proud you are of them. 

8) Your kids (and maybe someday grandkids) will cherish these photos of you with them forever.
