How to Have a Photo shoot With Six Children Five and Under














First you give them cool props like bunny ears. No, you didn't count wrong. There are five. No way was #6 going to put on dumb bunny ears for a photo. The guy's got a little pride, ya' know?


Then you try all kinds of tricks to get them to look at the camera, including dangling a floating foot in front of them. Notice how it doesn't work.
Then you make weird noises with your mouth, whistle, trill, scream, then clap and jump....do weird contortions...do they stay put and smile perty for the camera?











Nope.

So then you give up and take photos one at a time....of the ones that will sit still long enough to pose.

















Uh, well, that sorta works.




Ahh, finally one who knows how to sit still and look at the camera.

You should just take 6 individual photos, and photoshop them
together;0)

Way cute kids! It would have been fun to have a video of their antics during the photo session.

DH wants to take a nice photo of the kids tomorrow in their new Easter outfits. Even though our kids are much older than your grandchildren, I expect pretty much the same thing to happen.

Wish us luck.
