Attempt at photographing my own kiddos

So for me- trying to take good pictures of my 3 kiddos by myself is somewhere bordering on impossible... Kara's nursery teacher told me the other day that she tried to take a picture of Kara, and Kara would not under any circumstances look at the camera. The teacher said, I know you take pictures of her- doesn't she know to look at the camera. I laughed because with my kids they either run away when they see the camera come out, refuse to look at the camera, or pull the worst fake smile you ever saw...

So I didn't have very high expectations when I took them up the canyon yesterday and was happily surprised to get some half decent ones...

While most of the pictures looked more like this....

Wow, Kara looks so grown up. She just keeps getting cuter and cuter.

A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!
I was thinking the same thing--Kara looks so much older than just a few short months ago! It was good seeing you the other night! You are a rockstar:)

Your photos turn out a lot better than mine. After about 2 pictures my kids give up and start screaming. Then I only end up with about 6 to choose from and they aren't that good. I also have the problem with the goofy smiles.

Your kids look great! You really did an awesome job with the photos!

You do a fantastic job. You sold your house too fast. I never got you to do my family pics. My loss. I shouldn't be such a procrastinator.

You have such cute kiddos.
