Is it just me or what? Why is it that when I want to get a good picture of my dear children it just never happens. With a 10-year-old (Austin), 2 1/2 year-old (Cade) and 4 month old (Brynlee), these photo sessions just turn into madness. Just picture it....I'm behind the camera (which, by the way, works fine now) making silly noises and smiley faces at Brynlee. It is really hard to get her attention when I keep going back and forth from behind the camera waiting for that one moment when she will look at me and give me one of her wonderful smiles. Just when I think she's looking and I press the button, Cade turns his head away. (Hint to self: Never try taking pictures of Cade with one of his favorite movies currently playing). So now, not only am I trying to get Brynlee's attention, I have to make sure Cade will be looking too. Austin, on the other hand, usually doesn't give me any problem anymore. Most of the time I just have to tell him to keep looking at the camera....hoping that eventually I can get the other two to do the same. You can see that I never really accomplished my goal of getting everyone looking and smiling at one time but I guess it will have to do.
Earlier that day, Brynlee had a photo session alone with me to capture her first Valentine's Day. That one actually turned out pretty good, as you will see.
I gave up on the smiling...at least they were looking!
