How difficult could it really be to get a “good” picture of a 7, 4, and 10 month old??? I mean really!?? I would tell you that I am posting only out-takes today but out-takes are pretty much all I got.?? The photographer in me is disgruntled but the mama is delighted.?? :)?? On early glances, I was sighing and complaining, and ranting, calling kids in to ask them if “THIS” looked like their real smiles (and they found these highly amusing to by the way)?? After the third attempt at dealing with their shanninigans I gave up.??<\/p>\n

At 10:30 PM I am smiling in spite of my day.?? I will laugh for years over these pictures and remember well how impossible it seemed to get this trio to cooperate.?? Liza warned me that shooting your own kids (and I mean that as a photographer hee hee), is more difficult.?? I wanted to hang my hat on this business this week if this photo shoot were indication of my ability to capture three young children.?? On the other hand, maybe we should chalk this up as a wild success.?? I did capture my monkeys exactly as they appear in the wild of our front room??- I just couldn’t keep them in the barrel.?? (Note to Liza:?? I tried tried containment and other suggestions you??made but Tori was having NONE of it – not any of it.?? Grrrrr.?? If I would have perched Tori atop a desk like you did Eli, we would have been in the ER with Tanner claiming all the while that there was just nothing he could do about it LOL).<\/p>\n

The picture above is my favorite out take.?? Tanner – giving me his angelic smile.?? At 7, he has been doing this “professionally” for quite some time.?? Ty is giving me the “is this it??? I forgot my smile again” look.?? Tori just wants out of there.?? Pretty good capture of a moment in time.<\/p>\n

If you look close, you will notice that the “gidget” (girl midget hee hee) is getting away.?? (I LOVE that movie).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I was trying what I hoped would be a more creative composition but Tori kept leaving the set.?? I finally told Tanner to hold her arms.?? You can see what she thought of that idea.?? Tanner laughs when he is nervous and he knew he was fighting a losing battle.?? Don’t mess with a??gidget who is determination personified.?? Just ask Dusty how well that works hee hee (props to ya Michelle).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We have a biter on our hands.?? Truth be told, I have never actually seen this expression on her face but I believe that is only because she typically sports it right before moving in for the kill.?? She about drew blood on my arm this week.?? As you can see, she now means business and someone is about to get attacked with her only means of defense left – her six teeth.?? And how lucky that I captured a shot displaying the entire top row.?? Few have actually seen all of them though some have felt them and I wouldn’t recommend that.<\/p>\n

I would call this the Monsters Inc picture but she is not playing the role of Boo this time:)<\/p>\n
