3x's a charm, right?
So, Jason and I purchased a great camera 2 yrs. ago. Our Disney trip motivated us to get it. And being able to do our own family portraits justified it. I mean we would be saving a TON of money on sitting fees, photographer fees, and etc. It truly has saved us a lot of money. But time on the other hand is a different story. The very first time we attempted to take our own pictures we literally took dozens maybe even hundreds of pictures. And had to try it two days in a row. We could NEVER get all of us to look at the camera at the same time and do it smiling. (without cheesy smiles) I would have to get up and down to restart the timer and hit the shutter release button. Then run like a crazy back into position before it snapped a few pictures. Honestly it was exhausting and frustrating. We did finally get one. just one. (you may remember, it was last year's Christmas card.) I was so happy, no relieved, well maybe both, with the result.
Fast forward to this year and we have attempted it 3 x's. Yes people, 3 x's. Once in August, once in September, and again just recently here in October. Whew!! It wasn't until this last time that we realized we could purchase remotes for the camera. How smart is that?!?! Golly I wish I had one. We still don't. But guess who is asking Santa for one?
Below are some of the simply hilarious pictures the camera caught.
August attempt. Bomb!
The sun was so bright the kids could hardly open their eyes! I'm cracking up just thinking about it! lol!
September attempt. Doh!
I just barely made it in the picture in time. And there's awful shadows. And, I'm not sure, but Jason looks like I'm pinching him or something! HAHAHA!!
Almost perfect, except Emma turned at the last second and Gideon looks scared. The lighting here is my favorite. (and let me just say, That is one fine looking man!) I think we may have a winner somewhere in this grouping. Be on the lookout for this year's Christmas card.
I hope you enjoyed this little bit of Craziness!
That's all folks!
