I tried to take pictures of our family last Sunday for our holiday cards this year, because (to be real) I had a good blow out from the salon on Saturday and I didn’t want to waste it. It was also a pretty nice day out, and I didn’t want to waste that. And it’s kind of like pulling off a Band-Aid….you know it’s going to hurt, and your family is going to complain, so it’s better to just do it quickly and get it over with. I didn’t even try to coordinate outfits; I just figured we’d go with black and white pictures this year.
Most of the family was just fine (although Ivy was really not feeling well), but we can’t allllllll be happy and smiling for 30 minutes. God forbid, right? One child was not having it.
But I think there are a couple we can use. Because Lord knows, I’m going to have to get an oversized package of patience in the mail before I try it again.
Some, though…..if they’re used for the card, they’ll just be proof that I have a sense of humor.
You like the cat photobomb?
Sigh.
Through The Lens Thursday is a self-improvement photography project that I’m doing again this year.
Next week’s prompt is CUT.
You are off the mark today! I haven't even thought what I am going to to take for Smile. These photos are great and yes, I love the cat photobomb.
I would like to jump around in that field!
Girl, I hear this. In my face. With a sledgehammer. (Wait til you get mine in the mail.)
There's nothing more I hate then trying to get a family picture of all 5 of us. It's nearly impossible. My girls are okay but the boys are a pain in the butt. They hate having their picture taken and feel it is like having their fingernails pulled off one by one. I dp need to get on this though… soon.
LOL – I was just thinking the last one was the best, and then I noticed the cat. But it's Real, right? And I think that's what makes it beautiful. Real moments.
I love your family. I think you should use the one with Dad covered in kids at the centerpiece for the card. 🙂
