I’ve been a mom of three for almost two years and I have yet to figure out how to successfully take a good pic of my three kids together. And yet, I keep trying…call me hopelessly optimistic, stubborn, or just plain slow to learn, but I keep holding out hope that one day I’ll snap that illustrious shot of my circus crew.
Here we have two sideward glances with a smirk and one squinter in the sun.
ok two out of three isn’t bad…
Miss America waves to her adoring fans off camera
Mom, puh-leeze, can we just get back to picking strawberries?
This might be my fav… a look of disgust, a pucker and a closed eye shot.

I have the same problem......now some of my favorite pictures are ones where no everyone is looking b/c I can see more of their personalities. I think your kids are so cute!
ReplyDeleteCute kids. First time to your blog! Happy WW :O)
ReplyDeletecandids are the best anyway
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing cuter than a Circus Photo Op! They are such a sweet bunch! I'm loving the Miss America wave! And your baby is getting so big! Goodness...make her stop growing!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
Hmmm, I'm sure I will be having the same issues fairly soon! They are still good pictures though...
ReplyDeleteWe have the same issues in our house - and I only have two. But getting them both to look at the camera and smile is impossible. :)
ReplyDeleteNever give up. I am on the quest to capture the perfect shot of our gang of 7!
ReplyDeleteHugs and Mocha,

It's really hard to take great shots when your subject are kids. A camera that can take multiple shots in a second would I guess solve this problem. LOL Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteMine is here -> Mariposa's WW
It is a art that has yet to be mastered. Yours are really good! At least no one is crying:-)
ReplyDeleteI think the message was accidentally posted twice. Sorry about that. Can you please delete the first comment and this comment? Thanks. :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't get a good shot of just two kids! For our Christmas card last year, we resorted to putting three different pictures on it: one of each child, then one of my husband and I together. I am hoping that by Christmas this year we can get a decent picture of all four of us (or at least of the girls together)!!
ReplyDeleteI think the one of "miss America" is to cute! I have this problem with one child, I cant imagine three!
ReplyDeleteI have been a mom of 3 for more than 4 years and I still cant get all three to look great in one picture. I think its impossible.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a common problem, be glad you are not the octomom LOL
ReplyDeleteoh - the impossible feat for any momma
ReplyDeleteYeah, Mom just let them pick the strawberries. Your kids are adorable! I always have a hard time getting a good photo of all my kids together too.
ReplyDeleteI have problems with just one. So I can't imagine! They are still cute shots though.
ReplyDeleteKids are never still at the same time! I've got the same problem. Looks like they are having a great time. I wish we planted strawberries, my dd and hubby share some every night!
ReplyDeleteTaking a decent picture of three smiling children is seriously hard work!!!
ReplyDeleteI think you do a great job, though!
I guess I'm lucky My kids are such hams... I honestly use the camera to calm fits as they start smiling the minute it comes out.
ReplyDeleteI think the trick is to take them all the time so the odds are greater :) Though, I do like some of the not so perfect pictures.
