I was all ready to post this morning about the wonderful evening we had celebrating Nana's birthday last night and include pictures.
But it seems every time I try to capture a moment, like say a birthday, on film I fail miserably. I fail at the let's get everyone posed and smile for the camera thing. I mean I don't really enjoy taking them but I really like it if I can get a good one to chronicle the event in the history book of our family. But for some reason I can NEVER get everyone looking at the camera at the same time.
Case in point: Nana with the Grandkids...
Example 1. Nana Looks great, Kyan looks great, Colton's eyes closed, Aspen flailing like the baby she is.
Example 2. Kids look great but Nana distracted stealing a snuggle from Kyan.
Example 3. Everyone but Kyan looking at the camera with smiles.
Example 4. Nana caught stealing snuggles from Aspen, Kyan stealing licks from the cake while baby is flailing again and Colton looks like a picture taking champ.
This exact same scenario occured with Grandpa a few weeks ago. I let that one slide thinking dang I missed a good picture. But then this. The exact same fiasco occured.
At this point I am blaming myself. The next time I wrangle people for a photo op I am totaling bringing my whip and I will be cracking it at the people old enough to listen and have them ready so at the one second my children decide to cooperate I can actually catch a good shot.
