Wordless Wednesday - Trying to get a shot of all of us…

Written by Janice

There is a reason we don’t have more shots of Susan and me with all four of our kids.

Now, I have so much more empathy for my parents when they were trying to get family photos of us growing up. There were four of us kids in our family and we all dreaded the annual family photo. (The outtakes are hilarious to look at now though!)

Thanks to Uisce for creating Wordless Wednesday.

Hey, look, it’s all of you together!

:-)

Nice photo.

My Wordless Wednesday:
Thank You For Smoking

#2 - melody is slurping life @ 12:43 am

THAT is a priceless photo. I love the expressions and body language going on here. Precious.

BTW, looking good ladies.

#3 - Elaine @ 12:44 am

Oh yeah, this is a great shot! I love Olivia’s face (she’s the one on the far right, right?) Too fun - y’all look great! : )

#4 - Doll Clothes Gal @ 12:45 am

Looks like a typical shot with kids - you can never get them all straight!

#5 - Shannon @ Gabi's World @ 12:47 am

That photo is priceless!

#6 - Beth@TheNaturalMommy @ 12:48 am

Oh, but these types of portraits are just so much more fun to look at! :-) You should frame it.

I love this picture… So very typical of kids to goof off in front of the camera!

#8 - Deb - Mom of 3 Girls @ 12:50 am

Oh but it’s so fun to see the attempts! I love this photo! :)

#9 - Kimberly/Mom in the City @ 12:51 am

The boy in your picture reminds me of my son - clowning around in pix.

This week my Wordless Wednesday is Four Views of Le Carrousel in Bryant Park (I went there with my son yesterday.)

#10 - Michelle Potter @ 12:51 am

What a happy family!

#11 - Michelle @ 12:54 am

Great picture how wonderful you all look, I love Julia’s face and also Jackson as well..

#12 - Kristin @ 1:02 am

These are the good ones, and there is nothing like sisters! :D

#13 - Dana (Sunshine) @ 1:18 am

Love the picture of you all together!!

#14 - Elaine @ Commotion @ 1:30 am

Too cute!! I love all the different expressions on the kids faces.

This week, mine is Jr. Chef!! Happy WW!!

That’s cute of all of you! Sometimes the photos are better when they show real life!

#16 - napaboaniya @ 1:49 am

It takes some effort in getting kids for a group photo for sure :P

#17 - DOMESTIC DIVA @ 1:52 am

Mine is up, actually early this time. Come check it out. This photo showcases my son’s favorite accessory….

BTW, love all of the different faces in this photo…priceless!

#18 - mom2my9 @ 1:54 am

LOVE the picture! You girls are gorgeous! You look identical. Are you? I have twins who are 6 months old and I have been asked that question about a million times, so I guess you’ve probably been asked about 20 million. Anyway, great photo! Thanks for all you do!

#19 - Missy @ 3:29 am

I LOVE that photo. It’s so much more you guys than a “proper” posed one would be.

#20 - Busymama Kellie @ 4:20 am

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. My kids think it’s hilarious to make faces. Or close their eyes. Or look at the floor…

#21 - Tracy @ Thirsty for Him @ 4:56 am

Great photo! I know what you mean about getting lots of kids to smile…at the same time with OPEN eyes~ we have 5 kids and family photos are hilarious!!!!!!

#22 - Gattina @ 5:39 am

Oh, that’s a very cute family picture ! so natural !

#23 - Robin ~ PENSIEVE @ 6:37 am

There are three times we attempt family photos: Christmas, Easter and at the beach in the summer. These are the only times I’m concerned my children might need therapy ’cause I’m so manic about it (which doesn’t help a bit).

This shot of y’all? STINKIN’ ADORABLE! It’s just “life” bein’ lived, ya know?

So wish Susan was making a stop in Chattanooga on her way to Atlanta; OR that I was still living in Atlanta…I’d show her the town and I’m pretty sure we’d never stop talking blawg stuff!

Susan if you check in, you’ve gotta eat at The Varsity downtown….it’s an institution!

:)

#24 - Andrea @ 7:03 am

That is too funny! Not one of the kids is looking directly at the camera with both eyes!! How cute!

#25 - MommyWizdom @ 7:25 am

Those shots are not easy - you did pretty well. At least you can see everyone’s head! Nice job - they’re adorable!!

Come check out my new meme, Pet Peeve Tuesday!

#26 - TheAngelForever @ 7:28 am

We have had the same trouble with capturing photos of our two sons and my niece. Still those funny shots are priceless like the one above :)

#27 - Maggie @ 7:38 am

That is a great shot — such perfect expressions on all the kiddos!

#28 - corrine @ 7:43 am

that is great. y’all should totally frame that one!

#29 - Jeanne @ 7:48 am

Fabulous pic!

#30 - My Inside World @ 7:59 am

Nice shot but yep it sure it hard to everyone to look at the camera at the same time lol.

#31 - AmyG @ 8:14 am

It’s a fun picture! Love the look on the baby’s face. To cute!

yes, taking family photos with children really can take a group effort….love that pic !!

#33 - Jean at Penny Lane @ 8:16 am

At least you can look back and have a laugh remembering how you always tried to get it together. Maybe when they are older, it might get better? Maybe?

#34 - Danielle @ 8:23 am

haha! so cute. A for effort.

#35 - Heartofamommy @ 8:24 am

Too funny! LOL! :D

The Baby looks like she is acting just as goofy as the older boy.

These kind of pictures make the best memories though. ;-)

#36 - Smellyann @ 8:28 am

I can definitely relate to the struggles of a family portrait with multiple children. It’s still adorable, though!!

What a great pic!

#38 - Mama Duck @ 9:05 am

I think it is great fun!

#39 - oh amanda @ 9:06 am

LOL! I love it!

#40 - tina @ 9:11 am

Nice family photo the kids are adorable.

#41 - aclaypot4him @ 9:14 am

Cute…the little one on the right appears to be participating in “silly picture” mode. :O)

#42 - Jenny @ 9:15 am

Ah, that’s a great shot!! I love photos like that.

#43 - DJ @ 9:17 am

What a fun portrait of all of you!

#44 - killlashandra @ 9:21 am

Yep, I know about those attempts at a family picture. Sometimes I think it might be easier to just photoshop one together out of many different pictures. :)

#45 - Kari @ 9:22 am

HILARIOUS!!!!! :D Glad my family is not the only family that takes pictures like that….but hey at least they are REAL, right??!! :) Have a great day y’all!

#47 - Jodilightful! @ 10:11 am

Group photos (especially with kids) are rough, aren’t they? I like them with a bit of personality, though :)

Special moments & photo ~ it’ll be so nice to look back upon some day!

#49 - jessica @pianomomsicle @ 10:44 am

You all are so cute! What nice families you have!

#50 - Aloha Monkey @ 10:44 am

That’s a great shot. I love outtakes and candid shots too. The subjects look less fake.

#51 - SarahHub @ Oakbriar Farm @ 10:55 am

Looks just like our family shots. In the last one, my niece is leaning back, and it looks like she doesn’t have a head. Oh, well. Someone has to sacrifice, right?

#52 - Mrsbear @ 11:03 am

What a great family shot, squirming notwithstanding. ;-)

You guys are so cute!

#55 - Beau@xoBeau @ 11:11 am

Very cute photo! Kids are so funny! My boys are the same way!

#56 - Marissa @ 11:12 am

Hilarious! I’m sure you’ll look back on this with fond memories.

#57 - Steph @ Problem Solvin Mom @ 11:45 am

Adorable!! It’s nice to have a perfectly posed shot of everyone, but these outtakes are wonderful for the personality shining through!

#58 - casual friday everyday @ 11:46 am

What a fun shot!

#59 - Becki @ 12:36 pm

Looks like quite an accomplishment :) How lucky you are to have such a great friend!

#61 - Laura@StorytellinMama @ 12:57 pm

True words… we have four kids and getting a group shot is tough, but funny for sure!!!

#62 - crunchy domestic goddess @ 1:00 pm

hi-larious! :)

#63 - Half Pint Pixie @ 1:05 pm

Excellent! We have so many of those shots, we’re so lucky to have digital cameras these days!

#64 - rachelle @ 1:29 pm

fun! this is my first week! that pic- the story of our life, no?

#65 - MaryBeth @ FourSillySisters @ 1:38 pm

Ummmm, now you know what it’s like for me to get all my kiddos together for a photo!! Four girls age 3 and under…. just like herding cats, I like to think.

#66 - Sherry @ 2:57 pm

Definitely hard to get a pic of so many, but what fun it is! :D

#67 - Ambajam @ 3:14 pm

Wow- what a great photo. You all look so happy. :) Happy WW!

#68 - BecauseImTheMommy @ 3:16 pm

I have SO many of these pictures. I thought it was bad with just 2, but adding a third is utter mayhem. I find it interesting that it’s our middle one who absolutely HATES it when the camera comes out.

love that pic!

#71 - Tamy ~ 3 Sides of Crazy @ 4:13 pm

Too cute - good luck!

#72 - Carolyn @ 4:46 pm

LOL - that just shows us a bit of what you go through :o)

#73 - Petula @ 4:50 pm

That’s a great shot. So real! LOL. It takes me a lot of time to get a shot of myself and my four too. When taking pics of the kids a sense of humor is always necessary.

#74 - Carolyn @ 5:20 pm

My little lady went swimming for the first time on Sunday, so cute!

#75 - heather u @ 5:46 pm

That’s a great shot! Love it!

#76 - katelin @ 6:33 pm

what a fun family pic! your kids are all so adorable! :)

#77 - MomSoapbox @ 7:48 pm

Looks like a fun picture - kids seem to be doing their own thing but that’s what makes it look more fun!

It looks like the photographer captured each personality just right. :) Happy W.W.

#79 - Susan M. Heim @ 1:03 pm

We go through the same ordeal every Christmas with our four boys. But that’s okay…they’re not perfect in real life, so why should they be perfect in their pictures? The silly ones are always good for a laugh.
