Over the past few years I’ve really slowed down with the amount of pictures I take of our family. Years ago, I took SO many and I am grateful for those pictures, but I found that I was living life through the lens of a camera instead of seeing it with my own eyes. I wanted to be more present and not always have a camera in front of my face. Besides, my kids started getting sick of me always having my camera. They still have that frustration with my camera, so I really had to force them to go out and get these family pictures. All of our attitudes weren’t the greatest, and the dogs were being a bit ornery, but despite all of that, I’d say we got fairly decent pictures.
For the family picture I used my trusty tripod and the self timer. I loved my remote that I broke, but it’s actually more funny using the self timer because I have to run back and forth. It makes for some laughs and smiles. Although, all of the running made my scarf go awry. Oh well, I took what I could get. The fact that we even got both dogs looking is a miracle in itself, and the kids’ smiles are actually good. I’m going to call it a win.
Well thanks so much for stopping by!!
