The Howlett Family Photo Shoot

For ages my neighbour-cum-friend Wayne had been hassling me about paying a visit to his city-centre photography studio to work out why "the downstairs computer can't see the upstairs one". Because it involved wireless connections, which are always way more hassle than they ought to be, I had been putting it off with a "Yeah, I'll try and find time to pop in at some point".

Then a couple of weeks ago I offered to come in and sort it out on the proviso that we get a free photo session with the kids while I work on the connection.

Here's a rogues gallery selection of the results, starting with the whole Howlett clan (including Quinn, who's an honourary Howlett).

If there's such a thing as being too cute then Felix is having a go at it here. I want to laugh and cry both at the same time when I look at this photo.

Me girls. I've chosen the photos above and below to have framed for hanging in my office.

Here's a close up of Minnie (AKA "Felix in a dress"):

Another of my cheeky little chappy:

After Wayne had reeled off a couple of hundred shots I came back in to the room and he asked if I'd sorted the router. "Yeah, I just unplugged it and plugged in back in again" I replied. I kid you not. Sometimes, knowing about computers really can pay off.

    Adorable!

    Treasure these times.

  2. They really are nice photos Jake. Thanks for sharing.

  3. What a treat, Jake. I'm reminded vividly that we need to get some family photos taken as well. Great looking bunch!

  4. Jake,

    Great looking family and great photos. Reminds me also that we need an updated family photo.

    But regarding this: "Yeah, I just unplugged it and plugged in back in again" I replied.

    I think I would have told him something other than that :-D Like you spent the last hour battling with "Name the OS" to get through it's cryptic file system and dialog boxes to finally work a miracle to get it to connect and that anyone else wouldn't have been as successful :-P

  5. Wonderful photographs, Jake. Quinn is beautiful (and Karen doesn't look old enough to be her mother!), and the young ones are adorable. Thanks for sharing those with us.

  6. Nice pictures Jake!

    @Keith: That answer was typical Jake though. Straightforward, pulls no punches. That's what I like about him :-)

    Thanks all.

    Karen. I'll tell Quinn (and Karen) that. They'll love it. I know Karen loves the whole "look like sisters" thing.

    Dan. Thanks. You're right. I am like that. But also I like winding mates up and you should have seen his face when he realised how unfair the exchange was. Priceless.

    I do have a no BS policy when it comes to dealing with my (Rockall's) customers though. Always tell it like it is. I (like to) think that that's why they come back.

  7. Yeah, like everyone else, GREAT LOOKING FAMILY.

    My daughter will turn one in a few weeks and we've got to have our family pictures made too.

    Good swap on the work! But wait for the bill if you hire him for pictures :)
