Self-Portraits are hard!

So after two years of not having a family picture taken, I decided to try my hand at taking some family self-portraits. After striking out on my hunt for a wireless remote that I wouldn't have to buy from China on ebay, I had to resort to using the timer which, while not hard, is certainly inconvenient. Needless to say, when I normally would have taken a few hundred shots at a family shoot, I left with maybe a dozen of all of us. Luckily my two year old is well schooled by now in the art of being a model for me, so he dutifully stared down the camera like a pro. Promises of a tootsie pop helped at the first location, but you'll notice there are no pictures of us by the river, which was location #2. The allure of rocks and water were just to much for him!
