20 Days of Photos--Day 17

About a month ago I decided that taking our family photos wouldn't be that big of a deal and that it was something that I could totally do myself. Afterall, all I needed was a tripod right? Wrong. As we loaded up the car to head to "the spot" I began to get nervous about how exactly I was going to pull this off. I had visions of fun, loving, moving family photos and, at the last moment, thinking about the heat of the day and the mechanics of the process, had me second guessing my plan. Brandon just laughed at me.

Well, my fears for the photos were realized. Running back and forth to the camera turned me into a sweaty mess and a timed photo with a 2-year-old...well, let's just say that I do not recommend that.

Sooo, here is what I have to show for it. One lonely photo of the four of us all looking at the camera at the same time and Molly actually in the shot. It's not HORRIBLE and it will do for now, but it is lacking the "fun, loving, moving family" that I had envisioned. Lesson learned. Next time we will hire someone...maybe Aunt Staci. :)
