Holiday Photo
Last weekend we took the annual holiday family photo. As much as I love taking pictures, can I just tell you how much I dread taking this photo?
First, it is always done under a time crunch because we need to get the cards printed and mailed out. Second, it is hard to get Benjamin, Henry and Luna to look at the camera. Throw in the cat and it is pretty much impossible. Thirdly, come Christmas card photo shoot time, Benjamin becomes the most fidgety, lickey pug he could possibly be. In every picture he is either licking his nose, yawning or facing the wrong direction. It has become a yearly tradition for him.
To make things easier this year, we thought we would use the cat perch and give everyone a square (in true Brady Bunch style). This was a tremendous help as it cut down on the amount of wandering. It still didn't guarantee that everyone was looking at the camera, but at least we kept them all in one place. 249 photos later we determined we had a decent shot and we were ready to send the cards to the press.
