Family Pictures

This was much more humorous than taking pictures of the girls alone. We had to focus the camera, beg Kate to sit down, focus the camera again, push the timer button, run into place, grab one of the girls throw them on our laps, threaten Kate to smile, and then smile as the camera took the picture. I'm amazed we got any where we were all looking at the camera. I think next time I'll just have someone else take the pictures, it would be a million times easier!






* I've had a couple people ask what kind of camera I use. Matt bought me a Nikon D5000 this past year for my birthday. It's really just an entry level digital SLR. There are certainly much, much nicer cameras out there but I've loved it. I really know next to nothing about photography and I've been really happy with the way my pictures turn out.

I am REALLY impressed that you were able to get such good shots of your entire family using a timer and tripod. You guys all look great!
