Outtakes

Remember this cute family picture that I set the timer and ran for? Well, I thought I'd show the outtakes in all their original glory. Each shot below I took, looked at, and then told each person what they specifically needed to "alter" for the following shot. It's not like this was the last shot and I said, "cut, we are done." There were a few after it. It wasn't until I looked at them on the computer that I dubbed this the best. Below: I didn't like the gap between mine and Michael's head, and can't see the cute baby body as well. And Alyssa's chin....

Ummmm, where is Cali's face? That part is important. And pouty Alyssa.

Not quite...

Pretty cute, maybe a close runner up. Not liking my smile or the way Michael is tilted.

This was just so we could take a break from actually trying....I like it.

Boys....do you want a cookie at the end??? Alyssa, what are you doing???

Alyssa tried here, but can't see her face too well. Tyler! Matthew, eyes open.


Matthew's arm--un uh. My arm--no no no.

Oh my...

Alyssa is cute here, Matthew's arm comes out of nowhere, AJ blocking Cali.
Pretty cute here...Matthew looks scared (as he does in the best one, too) Tyler is cute, Alyssa is cute, not loving Cali's positionin, Michael and I look cute all cuddled together.

Not liking the gap between Michael and my heads.

It was actually a combination of these two shots that made that final image. I hate admitting it, but its true. Can you tell who got switched?

These are all I took of us that day as a family. I did get lucky, but I did a little "work," too.
