corralling babies



We celebrated the triplets' first birthday on Saturday. It was a large party, and everyone was invited, so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to snap a few pictures of all 5 cousins together. [This is something that has never been attempted in the past.] I knew keeping 5 babies sitting still and smiling for 5–10 minutes could be tricky, but I certainly did not expect it to be the huge production that it was.

To capture this historical shot I enlisted the help of seven adults — four to keep the babies sitting, two to capture their attention and make them smile, and one [me] to snap the pictures. Above is the best of the lot — pretty good all considering. However, I think the reject pictures are pretty funny — you can see just how difficult getting this one decent shot was.

You know, I am pretty good with Photoshop, maybe I'll just create one with everyone looking forward and smiling . . .
