    If you have a Flash Portraits or a JCP Portraits near you I can help with coupons for the family photos. I work for Flash Portraits and would suggest if you're going to go to a studio for portraits, try to go during the week (the weekends are the busier times, unless you have the first appointment of the day) and if y'all can make it during late January, or mid-September, those are the two slowest months... and try not to stress out about it too much. Pics are fun...they shouldn't be perfect because y'all aren't Barbie and Ken...

    oiy, I just squirreled harder than Doug from Up. Great list and I wish you all the luck completing it!
