family photos...

It's always a challenge having a Marmee who likes to take pictures but who also happens to be the only photographer we can afford. How can I be in the shot and capture a fun family photo using a camera timer? "Okay everyone, stand still and smile in ten seconds. Hold it, hold it... almost".

We went to the MN Landscape Arboretum this past Saturday to hike around and attempt a few pictures. Lucius and Daddy worked together to snap this shot of me and Oliver. 

 

 

But we got a little creative, using my backpack to hold my camera because I didn't borrow a tripod. We even got a little silly with my wide angle lens to squeeze us in the shot. I think this one turned out to be my favorite.

I hope someday to have a little money to splurge on a photographer, who isn't me, to capture us being a family, but until then these are pretty special. I'm glad we got some worth keeping.
