Family Pictures

The creativity isn't overwhelming but just imagine this...

I carefully prop the tripod in its place. I try not to knock the whole thing over as I press the button and quickly run over to the position that has been intentionally left open for me. Quite a distance. Hurry, hurry!! I manage to smile just in time for the picture to snap. Then I run back to the camera and repeat. Over and over and over again. It was very athletic and quite tiring. Taking pictures is how I get my cardio! ;) Especially when my kids start to get bored and stop ~~following orders~~...I mean stop obeying my kind requests to HOLD STILL and SMILE!!! : )

The same smile on Steven and Isaiah gets me every time! Oh the love!

This moment, this love comes to rest in me, many beings in one being. ~Rumi

That's how I'm going to have to do ours. I did it quite a bit on vacation. It sure makes for a memorable time though. Don't you think?? They look great.

Hey, thats exactly how we do our family pictures! I'm not sure how well my kids will hold still if we do them now though...

This reminds me of when I was a kid and my family would attempt to take a picture like this. Inevitably we'd end up w/ a lot of pics of my dad's backside as he raced back into the pic. :) But your pictures have turned out wonderfully, I'm impressed!
