Photo Shoot, Take 72

After posting photos of my kids last week, there are many of you who think my kids are adorable. And my kids are adorable in the pictures I posted. But I took 72 pictures and only six of them featured all three kids smiling. In the other 66 photos, the kids were missing, crying, pouting…you get the picture. Below are a couple of the not so adorable ones.

Last year’s photo shoot was worst. I took 96 pictures and there wasn’t a single photo of all three kids smiling. Spiderboy didn’t want his picture taken, so he wasn’t in half of them. And in the ones he’s in, he’s crying in most of them. Below are a couple of pictures taken last year.

    That last one made me laugh out loud!

  2. That last one IS hilarious! This reminds me of the video of the beautiful woman model that shows all of the digital enhancements that were required to make her appear as they wanted her to appear. I guess this just proves — all is not as it seems in a single photograph.

    Thanks for sharing.

    BTW, I’m guessing that Princess M has always been photogenic, right?

    Ha, I think you should use the last one!! ;) Too cute, we got a semi-nice family photo over Thanksgiving and now I just need a few smaller ones of the little guy (I’m doing the first design on this page for mine ;)).

    Those are hilarious! I love the last one. That’s how all of our pictures turn out.

    And as much as it pains me to say, congrats on your Beavers winning. Whoo, that was hard.

    Too funny! I think I like your rejected photos better than the smiling ones.

    Next year you need to videotape the whole shoot and post it on YouTube. I suspect it would be very popular!

    Well, at least now we have prove that you have “real” kids… I was wondering about the perfect synch of good behaviour on the previous ones…

    They still are cute though…

    Great pictures! Even when they’re not smiling, your children are adorable.

    You should send these in to the Ellen show-she’s having a little holiday thing about the worse Christmas pictures…Hilarity shall ensue…especially that one of your son mooning the camera. Hilarious.
