I take pictures of families all year long and the families are so cooperative and nice.
Then there is my family.
We hate family pictures and I am never on top of it enough to hire someone else to take them so we always end up taking them on a tripod.
This year my kids were extra UN-cooperative.
I took 3 family pictures and then began the hitting, screaming, crying, bad lighting, etc.
We were done.
Here are a few of the pictures and our final one
(which did turn out thank goodness)
but lesson learned... this year I will hire someone else to take the pictures so they will be extra cooperative!
Happy Holidays!
I can't remember how I came upon your blog but as I was perusing several today this entry made me laugh out loud because of how REAL it is for our family! We finally bit the bullet and paid a pro (ouch$) for nice non-silly-kids holiday pix and it was great...but I still heart the goofy ones that show personality! Cute family!
ReplyDeleteYour family is gorgeous! Goofy faces and all.
ReplyDeleteI have said the same thing every year, and after going out and finding a stunning location for our family photo for 2012, having to set up the stupid tri-pod was just irritating! And my family is the same way, they all have no patience whatsoever. So I vow the same thing, fork out the dough and hire a photographer. I have to loose weight first though :)
ReplyDeleteI am a photographer too! We have four girls 11-3 and the last family photo was when baby girl was 6 months! lol This is a FABULOUS photo!!! They all did soooo good!
