Last week over Spring Break I decided to try to save some money and take the birthday pictures of my kids myself instead of going to a studio. Things went pretty good when snapping the individual pictures, but put these silly kiddles all together and try to snap a shot and they turn into a bunch of goofs. I think this photo will be one I look back on and laugh fondly as I can see each of their personalities reflected in their silly gestures.
What do your kids do when you try and take their picture?
I just have to share a couple more. Every time I look at this pic of my boys I laugh seriously hard. I was barking out orders of how to sit and how to smile and this is what they looked like by the end… I remember telling Charlie to look up slightly and telling Allan to smile a little more.
Then there are my girls. For some reason whenever they start laughing together they always look at one another. This picture is really just too sweet for words. One of Calista’s first words was Lorelei. When Lorelei gets home from school Calista runs to her and they hug.
Hope all of you are having a good week!
