But hey, At least we get some great shots of the boys, right??
I know, I know, this doesn't sound like me. I love taking pictures, especially of the boys. I also happen to think that I do a fairly good job at it. Unfortunately, I have found that attempting to get 4 young boys to stay still, pay attention, and smile while operating the manual controls on a camera can be nothing short of frustrating.
Fortunately, I have a great husband who helped me with the second photo shoot, but by my standards it wasn't much better. The sun was so bright and genius Lori was wearing her tinted glasses so it was impossible to fully see the camera's settings. To make a long story short, I tried my hardest to adjust the camera multiple times to guarantee getting at least one that was 1 stop overexposed while attempting to get the boys to look good. Looking back, I see there was probably a 1 in 20 chance that all of these factors would prove successful and I should be happy that we were able to capture what we did.
Oh well, maybe next year I will be able to find someone to help me get a whole family picture who will do more than just click the button. If you are curious as to which one I spent 2 hours with putting on a Christmas card then you are just going to have to wait until your card arrives in the good ole' snail mail.

The sepia one is awesome! It's easy to imagine these little guys from a different era.
