Family Picture attempts



A few weeks ago we went to a professional studio to get our family pictures taken. It didn't work out so well because the children just wanted to run, they didn't want to sit and smile. We got a couple of half-decent pictures (can't post them because of the copyright) but I wanted one that I really like. So, we created a little studio in our living room and set up the tripod. Here are some of our attempts. The one at the top of our blog with the frame is probably the best one so far. Some of our attempts were pretty funny. It's hard to get three children to smile and look at the camera at the same time.
This one would be the best except Timothy forgot to duck a little.



Oops!


What were they looking at?


Give me the EVIL eye.


Our shoes look nice, don't they?


What a hassle

This one's not too bad except that our back drop fell right before the picture took.


Now, you ask, why don't you get someone to come over and try to take a picture. Well, Timothy's Mom and sisters came for a visit about a week and a half ago. So, they tried taking some. Here are those attempts:


I hope you've found our family picture attempts humorous. It's been crazy, but fun.

    It's easy to see how cute you all are even if the picture isn't perfect!
