spring photoshoot

Yesterday we had a massive photoshoot to get Calvin's and Cami's 2 & 4 year old pictures. I also attempted to get the 3 of them together in one shot...you'll see by the pictures that this was not entirely successful. The good news is that it only took 320 shots to get these pics (don't worry, there's only about 30 on the slideshow). We also had Jude's 1 month doctor's visit today. The little piglet gained 3 full pounds his first month. He's up to 12 lbs 2 oz, and is 23 inches long. He's a beast! Eats like an animal.

Ha! 320 pics!!! I've never actually counted, but that sounds about right.;o) The impossibility of getting all the kids to look at the camera at the same time with a somewhat amiable expression . . . Great pictures though--one of the ones of Cami I was just thinking "Wow! Those eyes, you could drown in them!" Beautiful!

I think you did an awesome job, Anna - these pics are great. 320 isn't too bad - R sometimes takes that many of flowers/trees in our backyard! :-)

#28....maybe not what you had in mind for a pic of the 3 kiddos but I love that one! I'm starting to appreciate more and more the 'candid' expressions of my kids in pictures. Sometimes I try to get everyone looking, smiling, behaving all at the same time and end up loving the 'candid' shots that captures their personalities more.

For the record i object to pic #10. Has Calvin become a little tree-hugger? Is this bad parenting or change we can believe in???
