Shumway Family: Fall Pictures With The Boys

Well, I tried...I swear I did! I swore a lot!!! (under my breath to myself.. Just kidding.) These pics were the hardest to get ever! I took tons of them yesteday afternoon and there was too much sun but I still managed to get some super cute ones. We changed locations 3 times between Ricky crying, Jake complaining, etc. Then I got home and accidentally deleted them
all :(

I went throught the trash bin of the computer and only the ones I deleted individually prior to deleting the whole folder could be restored. Total bummer! So, I have the rejects of yesterdays shoot and the ones that I did today too. So, you guessed it. I dragged them back out and shot until I saw tears-only 30 frames later. They were not having it! So, I gave up! Here are the best fruits of my labors...reject shots and all. They are not as cute as the ones I got yesterday, but they are still pretty cute. These kids are so photogenic! Jakie is trained by now but Ricky is not a fan of being photographed. I will have to train him up like his big brother and always have candy in my pocket to bribe him.

Enjoy:

Here are a few others that turned out pretty cute:

Melissa L. said...: Ma che carini! :) Those turned out pretty well, I'd say. Btw, I thought of you the other day when Andrew was watching Baby McDonald. The lady's voice when she says "rooster" totally reminded me of you. :); November 3, 2009 at 5:50 PM
