Snapshots

A week ago, my good friend and next door neighbor, Nicole, was kind enough to take some pictures of my kids.  She is trying to build up her photography portfolio, and potentially start a business out of it, so I was happy to let my kids be some test subjects!

I love the pictures we got, but learned a few lessons...

  1. Don't expect a 19 month old to sit still for anything.
  2. Especially when you are at a park with a lake.
  3. Don't be surprised when it is near impossible to get a picture of said 19 month old and a 4 year old together.
  4. Don't bring a favorite toy to try to use to get them to look at the camera.  Instead, they will want to hold toy in 95% of the pictures.
Overall though, we definitely got some cute pictures (and there is definitely picture overload in this post)!

Fun pictures... adorable kids! Is the football the favorite toy? I think it looks cute in the pictures! Does your friend want to take pictures of a really challenging family (us?)? On second hand, scratch that idea, she may rethink the whole photography thing when we were done with her. :)
