Family pictures . . .

The week after we came home with Samara, we thought it would be nice to get a good picture of the three kids together. Ha! Easier said than done. Here are some of the results:







Attempt #2: same kids . . . different day . . . same results: unsuccessful!








The biggest problem seems to be that Samara can't sit still for two seconds. And then Victoria and Austin start giggling cause they think she's so funny. Perhaps these are the kind of family pictures we'll have to expect from now on . . . it'll make for interesting Christmas cards!

Oh what fun pics! The stories they'll tell later. Love the one of Samara arching her back while big brother tries to help her out and the one with big sis's leg up in the air.

Perfect pics!

Photography is fun isn't it? I have adorable ones of Hannah posing at that age but, like Samara, Kimberly can't stay still long enough to pose. Most pictures are caught on the fly. I tried to get some Saturday night when my niece was here for a visit. Hannah wouldn't pose and Kimberly kept looking away. Looking forward to formal portrait time for sure!

Yep. Know EXACTLY what you mean. We have a whole photo album of such pictures. Tee hee. Hilarious. I hate trying to get them to all sit still. Tranqulizers, anyone? :-)

What a bunch of cuties... These are great pictures. Tough to get everyone to sit still when Samara is doing her thing. Keep the photos coming.

Did I forget to mention that I love that orange and purple outfit Samara is wearing?!

Hopefully you will be able to find a photographer that can help you wrangle those children... and of course your so willing-to-be-photographed self. : )
