Family Picture

So this is our second Christmas together as a married couple and we still haven't done a family picture. Not only am I too lazy to do it, but it's way more exciting to do when you have kids... so hopefully I'll get on top of that next year. My family, however, requires a picture from us for THEIR family picture so the day we left for California we scrambled to get one.

We set up a little station so we could use the timer on our camera. Obviously they didn't turn out too great. We literally took 35 pictures and I'm not really happy with ONE of them. But we ran out of time and had to settle for something a little less than perfect.

While I was trying to set up the camera, Darren was posing so I could make sure everything was in the right place.

Obviously this is the heart on the stomach pose... haha

And the model shot... (don't hate me for putting this on here Darren!)

My husband has a really hard time smiling for pictures. No matter what he does, you can tell that it is forced. I'm working on positioning his head right (though I have so far been unsuccessful) and will hopefully one day get him to smile like a normal person.

After so many shots of Darren NOT smiling I yelled, "JUST SMILE!" and this is what I got...

So anyways, it was quite an unsuccessful photo shoot. I can only imagine how much harder it's going to be with a crying kid next year!
