Christmas Photo Shoot

My sister Jamie and I decided to try to take our own pictures of the kids this year to give to the grandparents so as not to cut any more money out of the Christmas budget. So we borrowed a nice camera from the Barretts {thanks guys!} and attempted to get a shot of the 3 grandkids. How hard can it be right? I mean there are only three of them. Well, let's just say I'm never doing that again! What a disaster. I think we literally took like 200+ pictures and ended up with maybe 6 that were useable. We didn't even get one decent group shot and ended up just doing individuals. Between Caleb making faces, Janie throwing herself on the ground crying and Ellie crawling out of the picture, it was pretty much impossible. It really makes me appreciate any picture out there with more than one child looking good. How do you do it? Here are the highlights and the lowlights of our little photo session gone bad.

I can totally feel your pain! I was telling a friend that I hate having the kids pictures taken so badly that it ranks 2nd only to potty training on my list of things I most dislike to do with kids. Janie's little shrug looks adorable!!!

Corie thanks for taking all the photos. Even though you didn't get the posed shots, all of them are great. Love your photos. Love your kids. Love all of you.
