I spent about an hr yday chasing Caitlin in her santa dress round the living room trying to get one good pic of her to put in xmas cards for family. Result - bribing with choc buttons and two only marginally decent pics were she is actually half crying but passes as a smile and her hair looks like a scraggy dog!!!
Last years xmas pics were gorgeous. She sat still and beamed at me for about hlf an hr. It was so much easier when she was 5mths, immobile and everything was exciting to her!

Now Im looking through pics of the last cpl months to put in frames to give as gifts to grandparents and am really struggling to find any where she isnt covered in food/covering her face with a toy/doesnt have a dummy in/doesnt have a bruise/scratch/her fringe isnt in her eyes.....

I really dont envy child photographers! I hope when she is 2/3 she learns to work the camera

You wanna try it with two hun - trying to get a 2 year old and a 6 month old to sit together for more than a second let alone get them to smile at the same time - bloody nightmare!!!

At this rate a lot of my family will be getting empty photo frames for xmas

xx

I was saying that the other day i have so many photos frm birth to 7months and thats it every photo i try and take callum gets in the lens before it goes off so i have a pic of his head or mouth or you try and sneak one when theyre sitting there and theey move i cant bribe cos he gets so messy

lol poor Caitlin, maybe she is shy?!!!!

Izzy still loves the camera, and poses ready with a big grin...she is odd though!

I feel your pain!

I took Aimee and Lily to my dads on Sunday (he does photography) to get their pic done for Xmas and it was TORTURE!

We got one half decent one after an hours work!

I had the same prob Debs. I gave up in the end lol x

Aww Immi loves the camera but it's still bloody difficult trying to get good pics. You jsut get a good shot and they move the second the flash goes. So annoying. xx

lol my too will smile for the camera but i have the problem of them saying cheeeese and screwing there faces up ..and thats the only pic i can get

I can never get a good pic of lilly, shes a pain in the arse
