"Why don't you all stand on this cool rock while I take a picture?"
"Ian, come over here for a picture, please."
"Now look at me and say, beach!"
"Guys, look at ME!"
"Henry, Ian, look over HERE!"
"Come on, guys. I just need ONE picture with everyone looking."
"Let's pretend that we're explorers who discovered this beach. Look at the camera for your picture in the newspaper."
"Boys, please look at me."
(Saying nothing and hoping that by some magic, that will work.)
"Forget it. Go play. I guess we won't get a great picture on the beach."

Looks like you have three very normal kids! I wish I could tell you that it gets easier! It doesn't. Chocolate bribery does work.
Love ya

Those are great pictures! While it's great to get a shot of everyone looking at you, I really love candid shots. They show what is really goin on and are the most fun to look at.
And photoshop elements can make a regular ol' photo really stand out. I highly recommend it!
that is hilarious! that is the struggle, isn't it? i always love the candid shots, though. they have so much more personality of the subjects shining through! don't ya think?
I think those are great photos. I feel your pain though!
Cute, funny post. :)
That was funny and almost painful at the same time! I know all too well how hard it is to get a kid's attention when in a fun situation. Wonderful shots anyway, though. It looks like they were having a blast!
Okay, that made me giggle like mad! I only have two and I've the same problem - oi!
That is pretty cute. I know exactly what that is like. Sometimes that is better than getting that huge fake camera smile.
This is a post I can totally relate to. I actually have a photography business and take pictures at most of the pre-schools in the area. I must say "Thank goodness for photoshop" or most of our class pics would only have a couple of kids looking. Yes, I agree. It looks like you have very normal, cute kids. What a fun day at the beach!
These are great pics- I couldn't do it either- I get so frustrated I want to scream. But you kids look adorable
I like them better natural, anyway! They look so adorable, just like happy active kids should! Erin
I hope that is a southern California beach.
If your north of Santa Cruz you need to dress your kids like your christmas caroling.
Ha ha ha ha. You sound just like me when taking pictures. I'm so in love with digital cameras for this very reason. I can take 50 photos just hoping for one good shot without wasting film.
I think all of those pictures are great!!!
