Getting a Portrait

I really wanted a cute picture of the kids, sitting on some beautiful stone steps that are in our front yard. Shouldn't be hard, right? I figured, if I snapped a few dozen photos, I was bound to have one where both kids were at least looking at the camera.

Right?

(Moms with more than one child are silently laughing to themselves right now. Or maybe, not so silently.)

We were all set. We had the cool afternoon light, the kids in cute clothes, and leaves scattered across the emerald lawn.

I started snapping.
I kept snapping...and snapping...and snapping.
And snapping...and snapping...and snapping. I got some great action shots on BBJ's hair. Heh.
So...think anyone will mind getting pictureless Christmas cards this year?

  1. its a true wonder and miracle to get two kids to take a picture together. i have THOUSANDS of these "hoping it this is the one picture."

  2. It's the less than ideally posed photos that are the best!

  3. No, no, no! These make the best Christmas cards!

  4. I really like the one in the top right corner of the first set.

    The good news is that it gets exponentially worse with each kid. Oh, wait, that isn't "good" news, is it. Sorry.
