(baby voice) Laila look at mommy let me see you smile, Boo! HALLIE LOOK AT ME NOT LAILA!! Say cheese, hold still, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Scroll through pictures... Nope not one. This is why I stopped buying professional photos too much work, with no guarantee. Who says I have to have a perfect photo to wish everyone a Merry Christmas? I thought I'd share a few here! :)
Good Luck with your picture taking!

Okay, you hit the nail right on the head with this one! It's like I have to perform a circus act trying to get my kids to look at the camera. Notice, I said look, not smile. Because that's all I expect these days. We just got the kids pictures taken the other day outdoors and I was sweating by the time we were done, jumping around trying to get them to look at me etc. It's a lost cause. The one with the kids looking at Laila with her binky is "the one" I think. So cute!
I feel your pain! Last year I had to take 75 pictures to get one good one and that was with 2 kids. So I guess adding another kid would put the total up to 325 or so (I'm sure the numbers increase exponentially). Maybe you could take them one at a time and photoshop them together! :o)
That's too funny. We just experienced that, too!! Why is it when you just take a picture of them, they are fine? But when you actually set the picture up, you can't get one nice one??
