Easter 2014 Pictures

Family pictures are challenging for us right now.  I sometimes wonder how people get the shots that they post on Facebook.  We have the perfect mix of an 11-week old who cannot move and 2-year-old twins who do nothing but move and explore and do not fall for cheap "look at me" tricks anymore.  Our kids are relatively well-behaved (almost every parent says that), but they have little interest in sitting or standing in one place for an extended period of time.  So, here are our best efforts at showing off our Easter outfits.

We started with some solo shots of Asa:

Then we moved on to Alden, who was pushing her baby around in her shopping cart:

Finally a few of young Arthur:

We tried to get a few of all three of them on the couch.  Each child had their own agenda.  These are the best we got out of the lot:

I had the idea that we should go take pictures by the window, but we needed a snack break first:

Then, we experimented with how the light and reflections from the window would turn out:

Finally, we settled on getting some more solo shots of each of the kids:

Bonus picture--there was some outfit mixing and matching during the shoot:
