Family Pictures

Getting a complete family picture has been a nightmare! I'm just not having any luck. It would be a lot easier if:
A. Ellie would listen. (I can dream right?)
B. The weather would stop learning of my plans and plotting against me!
C. I had a tri-pod. (Dan says the birthday fairy might be able to help me with that one!)
D. The remote I bought for my camera actually worked.
E. The boys had no sense of humor. (Bunny ears are ALWAYS going to be funny, or so they think.)
and finally,
F. I could keep all of the kids clean at the same time for more than ten minutes!

Okay, I'm done whining. I tried for a family picture again yesterday. I don't think I actually failed, but I didn't get "the" shot I was hoping for. Ah-well, the joy of being a photographer is that you can always try again right? Here are a few shots that I liked, despite their imperfections. :)

I liked a lot about this one. My favorite part is how the younger two boys are trying to copy their older brother. The sure think it's funny too!

You've already heard my sob stories. Maybe we can help each other out one of these days. I do like the heads cut off one.

Fantastic job, I love them! Great location too!

The last time I tried to take our own family pictures has to be over 4 years ago now...I agree. Not fun.

Mmmm, love the family shots! Really, I think the less perfect they are, the better. Really. You'll remember those moments, but the perfect ones.. you don't seem to remember much about getting that one. Well, other than the fact that it took a million times. :)
