Family Photo Shoot

So…we took the time this year to actually let someone else take our family Christmas pictures.  It was great!

No setting up the tripod…

No running back so I can get in the picture…

No taking a billion retakes because someone blinked…

Actually getting a great picture with My Hero…that the kids didn’t take.

And no matter how creative I think I might be…there is always someone who has a different eye and gets great shots like this.

And how did this boy grow up into this young man…must be the different photographer.

And her…who told her she could wear this hat for pictures–who knew it would be so adorable. Oh…that’s right…the other photographer.

Plus…I can not for the life of me do a realistic squirrel imitation to get a great shot like this…but…the other photographer can!

And I don’t even think to do a black and white half the time…but…

There is no way-no matter how long I tried or how many times I would tell everyone to smile or the dog to stay–a tripod is just not a photographer. This one is going up on my wall on canvas!

So, do yourself a great service-go get your picture taken by a real photographer. We photographers are so guilty of not taking the time or not wanting the hassle or a host of other excuses–This is my Christmas Card picture this year.  Love…Love…Love….

Oh–you want to know the Photographer-I don’t know-I kind of want to keep them all to myself–ok–ok…
