what kind of pictures did you send with yours?

I sent one of me swinging on our playground with our kids, One of dh and Chloe hugging, One of all of us sitting on the ground playing in the leaves, One professionally done of me and my kids, Daddy was at work that day, and one of dh and I ouside our home, one of the kids playing in their playroom, and one of Jake's room when the crib was still up to show a bedroom for Caitlyn. I believe also one of just the outside of the home.

We had photos of our house, the baby's room, and several family photos. We were advised to skip the pet pictures since some cultures don't embrace animals the way we tend to.

Good Luck,
Pat

We were also advised to skip pet pictures, and pictures where we were wearing sunglasses - due to cultural issues.

We were told that they prefer to see casual photos vs professional ones. And a picture of the house, yard and baby room (even if it isn't done as a baby room yet!)

We were advised to include six photos - one of those six has to be a photo of DH and I standing side-by-side and one has to be of our home. The other four are up to us, so we've got one with DH, me and his family (at our wedding); one of DH and me with our three nieces; one with DH, me and a friend; and one with DH, me and our best friends in Paris.

Our dossier is not done yet though, and I keep changing my mind about which photos we should include.
