I have to admit, I am tripod challenged. There are too many levers and notches to play with. I really am too impatient to take the time to learn. I would just rather hold the camera to take the picture, which of course is hard when you are supposed to be in it.
The other challenge is the kids. Our kids, especially Xander found it much more entertaining to find sticks to have sword fights with or a rock to climb. And then, what do you do when you are so funny and your husband can't stop laughing (see example below)?
This next one is my favorite of all the faces, but it was so overexposed and I didn't use the right setting. It's a bummer because we didn't get many in this pose and I really like the background.
This next one also has a great background of colors. I had just taken Xander's stick sword out of his hands and promised I would give it back. He is eyeing his stick and making sure I keep my promise.
It was so tough to get everyone dressed and out to take pictures. I don't know if I am completely satisfied with any of the pictures we took today. Do I try again? Or do I say, "Good enough"?

I'm impressed...I think they look great for just setting up a tripod and saying cheese on your own. You are beautiful (I meant Val, not you Ben, but so is CJ and Mia)
I agree, they are great. I think it's fun when the pictures show so much personality.
I think you did a great job. I don't think you can complain because you did it for free. How much better could that be? I think they are cute keep them and you can always do more later.
Wait. You were actually taking our pictures? i thought you were just trying to torture the kids!?
I love those pictures. You are all adorable, even you Ben, no matter what your sister says. Love ya
Betsy said to me, "Everybody is getting family pictures" and I had no idea who she was talking about. It was YOU!
Val, you look GREAT in all three! I think the third is my favorite- and I definitely think you are done. They are all beautiful. Way to go with the tripod- that's not easy .
